The former baseball coach at Lowell High School has been arrested and charged with luring a minor, a felony.

Kody Eidenschink, 37, was arrested Thursday, June 4, by the Lane County Sheriff’s Office and charged Friday in Lane County Circuit Court for an alleged crime that took place “on or about May 30” of this year.

From 2015 to 2022, Eidenschink coached baseball at Lowell High School, said Superintendent Scott Yakovich.

“He was never under any suspicion of improper contact with students while he was employed,” Yakovich said in an email.

Prosecutors allege that “for the purpose of inducing the minor to engage in sexual conduct,” Eidenschink furnished or used with “a minor a narrative account or an explicit verbal description of sexual conduct.”

A Lane County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for more information about Eidenschink’s arrest. 

Jail records show Eidenschink was also arrested on suspicion of online sexual corruption of a child, but no such charge has been filed by prosecutors.
