A former school custodian was sentenced to 15 years for sexually abusing a 14-year-old minor he met while working for the Kenai School District.

Sentenced on July 22, 54-year-old Alexander Coxwell received 25 years in prison with 10 years suspended, resulting in an initial active term of imprisonment of 15 years, for Sexual Abuse of a Minor in the Second Degree as part of a plea agreement.

On his release from custody, Coxwell will be on probation for 20 years. He will also be required to register as a sex offender on his release from custody.

The conviction was based on Coxwell’s abuse of a minor, which began in 2013 and lasted until 2016. During that time, in addition to engaging in sexual misconduct with the minor both on and off school property, Coxwell provided the minor with a variety of controlled substances and alcohol.

The matter was initially investigated in 2013, with no charges being filed. Coxwell continued in his role with the school district until 2016 when he resigned after additional complaints were made about his conduct. When Investigator Edwin Anderson, with the Alaska State Troopers, received a new unrelated report in early 2024 involving Coxwell, he became aware of the prior investigation and doggedly reexamined what occurred in 2013.

Through Investigator Anderson’s efforts, with help from the now-adult victim, Coxwell has been held accountable for his conduct.

Deputy District Attorney Julie Matucheski prosecuted the case with the assistance of Paralegal Julie Craig and Law Office Assistant Patrick Pilatti.

    Just taking out the trash.

    Enjoy your incarceration, dbag. Fingers crossed that the best you get is an aggressive snuggler for a celly but we know it’ll be more than that. Was it worth the tail?

    Question: The scumbag was being investigated but was still allowed access to children while working for the school district? For three years? Why wasn’t he put on administrative leave or moved to a position in which he had no access to kids? Maybe the school district just needs more money….
