Jared Hedges, a Frisco resident and former Team Summit coach, was indicted Wednesday by a grand jury in Taos, New Mexico, on charges stemming from an arrest in March. 

The charges include two counts related to sexual contact with a minor, according to case details from New Mexico’s case lookup website.

Taos County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested Hedges, 48, at Taos Ski Valley on March 22 on charges related to criminal sexual contact. Hedges was in Taos for a ski competition with Team Summit, which fired him after his arrest.

The district attorney in Taos dismissed the charges against Hedges without prejudice in April, “pending receipt of further discovery and investigatory evidence.” Dismissing without prejudice left the door open for the charges to be brought again at another time.

Team Summit executive director C.B. Bechtel wrote in a statement that the ski team was aware of the grand jury’s indictments and will continue to fully cooperate with the legal process. Bechtel wrote that the team has had “dozens of work sessions” on its athlete safety policy, especially focusing on travel.

While Team Summit vets its policies through child safety advocacy groups, Bechtel wrote, it is operating with the guidelines that athletes must be at least 12 years old to travel, two adults per accommodation are required, at least one adult of each athlete’s gender must be represented, and all participants must complete a special form if there are exceptions to those policies.

The team also has guidelines for parent chaperones, if they are needed to meet the travel requirements. Parents must complete a volunteer chaperone application; have a current volunteer membership with U.S. Ski & Snowboard, which includes a federal background check and SafeSport training; complete Team Summit training in minor athlete abuse prevention and athlete safety policies; and be added to Team Summit’s vehicle insurance, if applicable.

“Team Summit is currently operating under these requirements while it completes the process to officially adopt them as policy,” Bechtel wrote.

The U.S. Center for SafeSport, which conducts background checks and provides training for coaches, has labeled Hedges as “ineligible” since April 14.
