ORLANDO, Fla. – Testimony from a detective and an agent with U.S. Border Patrol helped convince an Orange County judge to keep a former figure skating coach behind bars while he awaits trial.
Andrei Berekhovski is facing three counts of performing sex acts on a child; a former student who, according to court filings, was 12 at the time of the attacks.
Prosecutors believe Berekhovski began sexually abusing the child in 2005, while the girl was living with Berekhovski and his wife, who is also a figuring skating coach.
Court records show the girl lived with the couple in order to train full-time at the rink where the Berekhovskis worked. [RELATED: Former Central Florida figure skating coach accused of sexually abusing student] After the
