Maple Grove Man Pleads Guilty to Sexually Assaulting Student
A Maple Grove man, who is a former teacher, has pleaded guilty in a case in which he was accused of sexually assaulting one of his former students.
Daniel Laskowski pleaded guilty to one count of third-degree criminal sexual conduct and two counts of using a minor to make pornographic work. He will be sentenced next month.
Laskowski, 32, was a teacher and football coach at Columbia Academy in Columbia Heights. According to the criminal complaint, he acted as a “father figure” to the boy, who was 15 when the assaults began. The boy’s mother went to Maple Grove police when she found out her son had been drinking at Laskowski’s Maple Grove home, the complaint said.
