## Resource

A Minnesota wrestling coach turned public safety threat: 43-year-old Seth Russell Benike faces seven felonies for allegedly abusing a minor over seven years, starting when she was just 12. As treasurer and assistant coach, his access to kids made the situation worse. The victim says he touched her inappropriately, showed her porn, and told her to keep quiet — even after she tried telling her mom. Now in custody with $50K bail, this case is a chilling reminder of how power and trust can be weaponized. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
