High School Coach Faces Sexual Charges
KENTUCKY...
Police have charged an assistant high school football coach in Madison County with sexually abusing a student.
An arrest warrant says 34-year-old Joey J. Tate attempted to have sex with a female student at a high school in Berea.
The Richmond Register cited school board records in reporting that Tate is an assistant football coach at Madison Southern High School and an instructor in the school district.
The newspaper reported Madison County Schools spokeswoman Erin Stewart declined to comment on Tate's employment or the charges against him.
Tate's attorney, Jim Baechtold, said Wednesday that his client was waiving his right to a preliminary hearing, so the case was sent directly to a grand jury.
