Curtis's criminal trial began on August 12, 2013, during which three of his victims and two others, all underage girls, testified. Curtis according to testimony offered massages to some of the girl athletes at the school, but not to any of the boys. Curtis was accused of touching the buttocks and breasts of and molesting two 15-year-old girls in 2012 when he was a volunteer weight-room strength trainer at Lakewood High School in Lake Odessa, Michigan, and touching, fondling, kissing the breast of, and sexually penetrating with his finger a 16-year-old girl in 2011 (he said it was the "most unfaithful he's ever been to wife".). He gave the massages first in the school's weight room, then in a room next to the weight room, and ultimately in a windowless trainer's room.
