Dabul also referred the Sentinel to information contained in a Sept. 2, 2020 article in the Pottstown (Pa.) Mercury newspaper about Dolan, then age 42.

The Mercury reported the former Whitemarsh, Pa. man and swim coach served about two years in jail after he was sentenced in 2009 to 1 1/2 to 3 years in county jail and five years of probation after pleading guilty to charges of unlawful contact with a minor for purposes of prostitution and corruption of a minor. 

Those charges were in connection with incidents from 2008 with a 15-year-old girl. At the time, the newspaper reported, Dolan had just finished his first year as a head coach of Plymouth Whitemarsh High School’s girls swim team. After being arrested, he was fired from the job, the newspaper added.
