A former “ American Ninja Warrior ” champion has been sentenced to over 10 years in federal prison on child sex crime charges, authorities
Andrew “Drew” Drechsel, 35, a resident of St. Cloud, Florida, pleaded guilty in June of last year to “one count of receiving child pornography and one count of knowingly persuading, inducing, enticing and coercing a minor to travel interstate to engage in sexual activity,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey.
The investigation into Drechsel began in 2019 when a 19-year-old woman told police in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, that she and Drechsel had started an intimate relationship when she was 15 and he was 26, according to a criminal complaint.The woman told detectives that she had met Drechsel in 2014 at an event attended by a number of “American Ninja Warrior” competitors and began communicating with him by phone.
Upon her arrival, Drechsel engaged in oral and vaginal sex with the girl at his gym, authorities said. The girl told her mother about the incident the following day, and the mother then confronted Drechsel about it. The mother said that Drechsel did not deny having sex with the girl, but claimed to not know her age.Authorities recovered several electronic devices during a search of Drechsel’s Hamden home in November 2019, finding explicit images and video footage of the victim.
