Bloom-Carroll athletics director indicted on 4 counts of sexual battery involving student

Chad Little, 45, is accused of having alleged sexual misconduct involving a student sometime between March 2018 and September 2020.

FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Ohio — A Fairfield County grand jury has indicted the athletics director at Bloom-Carroll Local Schools accused of sexual conduct involving a former student. 

Fairfield County Court of Common Pleas records state that 45-year-old Chad Little was indicted on four counts of sexual battery, all being third-degree felonies.

Little's indictment comes more than a week following his arrest on Sept. 20. 

According to a complaint in the common pleas court, sometime between March 1, 2018 and Sept. 20, 2020, Little allegedly engaged in sexual conduct with a student at a school in the district.  

Little is being held at the Fairfield County Jail on a $350,000 bond, according to the Fairfield County Sheriff's Office.

Bloom-Carroll Local Schools Superintendent Shawn Haughn issued a statement following last week's arrest, saying Little was immediately placed on leave.

"Today, we learned that Chad Little was indicted.  Mr. Little remains on unpaid leave and is not permitted to be on school grounds.  The District will continue to work with law enforcement and to support our wonderful students and staff during this difficult time," Haughn said.

On Oct. 7, Chad Little pleaded not guilty on all four counts when he appeared in court.
