FORT DODGE – A Fort Dodge swim coach has been sent to prison for committing sex acts on a student.

On January 6, 2017, the Fort Dodge Police Department received information that Aaron Poldervaart, an employee with the Fort Dodge Community School District, had allegedly committed sex acts upon a Fort Dodge Senior High student. Poldervaart, 22, served as an Assistant Boys and Girls Swim Coach during the 2015-2016 season, and continued to volunteer for the teams after resigning to accept another coaching position outside of the school district.

A thorough investigation by officers with the Fort Dodge Police Department, working closely with the Webster County Attorney’s Office, led to the filing of multiple criminal charges.

On January 24, 2017, Aaron Poldervaart was located and arrested on the following charges:

*Sexual Assault in the Third Degree (class C felony): Defendant committed sexual assault by force or against the will of the victim.

*Sexual Assault in the Third Degree (class C felony): Defendant committed sexual assault against a person 14 or 15 years of age, while the Defendant was four or more years older than the victim.

*Sexual Exploitation by a School Employee (class D felony): Defendant engaged a student of FDSH in a pattern or scheme of conduct so as to engage in sex acts with the student.

As part of a plea deal, Poldervaart was sentenced to up to 5 years in prison for committing a sex act on a female student under the age of 16.
