Elisa N. Fritter, the former lacrosse coach who admitted having sex with two teenage boys and hosting underage drinking parties, was remanded to Chester County Prison yesterday.

Chester County Judge William P. Mahon signed an order revoking Fritter's bail and directing the Chester County Bail Agency to transport her to the prison upon her discharge from the Pottstown Memorial Medical Center. Fritter arrived around 5 p.m., according to prison officials.

Fritter, who had been free on bail since her arrest in October 2002, was hospitalized after an apparent suicide attempt on Thursday, the day she was scheduled for sentencing. Mahon issued a bench warrant after she failed to appear in court. A short time later, she was found barely conscious by relatives in her Pottstown home and taken to the hospital.

In July, Fritter pleaded guilty to multiple counts of statutory sexual assault, indecent assault, selling or furnishing liquor to minors, and related offenses. Deputy District Attorney Elizabeth B. Pitts is seeking a "substantial" state prison sentence, arguing that Fritter has not only shown no remorse for her conduct, but has also blamed her alleged victims.

Mahon had no comment on yesterday's order, but it appeared unrelated to a motion Pitts filed last week to revoke bail. Pitts said Fritter's two suicide attempts - one last week and one on Oct. 26, 2002, the day after county detectives seized a computer and bed linens from her former East Coventry residence - made her "a threat to herself."

In yesterday's order, the judge said a hearing had been scheduled for Jan. 5 to determine whether "the defendant is a danger to herself."

Fritter's attorney, Jack McMahon, was not available for comment yesterday.

Authorities began an investigation during the summer of 2002 after receiving anonymous tips that Fritter had become involved with two boys, one 15 and one 16. Fritter had met them while she was coaching the under-13 league of the Pottstown Lacrosse Association for Youth.
