Kettering AD formally charged with soliciting

Brian Donoher, the athletic director for Kettering Fairmont High School, has been formally charged with soliciting and possessing criminal tools following allegations he offered money to an undercover officer for sex.

Donoher was arrested on Feb. 1. He was placed on administrative leave by Kettering school officials.

Donoher, 42, the son of famed University of Dayton men’s basketball coach Don Donoher, was taken Wednesday night to the Montgomery County Jail, where he was held briefly on suspicion of soliciting and possessing criminal tools — both misdemeanors — before posting 10 percent of his $3,250 bond.

The Kettering resident has been Fairmont’s athletic director since 2008, and served as Sidney High School AD for two years prior to that.

He is not a teacher at Fairmont, and does not possess a teaching degree, school officials said.
