CENTERVILLE, Ohio (WKRC/ Angela Ingram) -- A local volleyball coach is in jail accused
 of having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl. Police
 say Joshua Fisher works as a private volleyball coach.  He has also
served as the Lakota East girls' junior varsity volleyball coach. Lakota East school administrators say they just learned of the charges from Montgomery County Monday.Fisher made his living as a coach for multiple organizations.  This
 investigation began in Centerville, which is just outside of Dayton. 
Police say the encounters happened in the past two months.  Centerville
police say they learned about the relationship after reports started
coming in from the victim's friends. Officers say they acted
quickly conducting the investigation and arresting Joshua Fisher.  He is
 at the Montgomery County Jail and has been there since Friday. Police
 say he met up with the victim at multiple locations in Centerville and
Fisher and the victim would use social media to coordinate their
meetings.  Detectives say he met the girl through private volleyball
lessons.  Monday Lakota East sent home a letter telling parents about the charges.  The letter
 also says that Fisher has been told to have no further contact with
any Lakota students. Centerville police say it's important to
send a strong message about cases like this.  Lakota administrators say
Fischer is not a teacher at Lakota East, he is under contract strictly
as a coach.  They say all coaches have to go through background checks
before they are employed with the district.  Fisher passed his
background check when he began working for the district in the 2012-2013
 school year. Fisher is in the Montgomery County Jail.  He's charged with five counts of sexual battery and one count of sexual imposition.
