A former Alabama high school girls’ basketball coach who became a substitute teacher after his retirement has been indicted by a grand jury on two counts of having sexual contact with a student under the age of 19.
Donald Roberts, 74, who coached the Red Bay High School girls’ basketball team before becoming a substitute teacher at the school, was prosecuted after three female students came forward with the allegations late last year, officials told WAFF.
Red Bay Police Chief Janna Jackson said the three students all said the championship-winning coach asked them on separate occasions to help him with a computer at the high school when the alleged incidents occurred.
Efforts by AL.com to reach Jackson were not immediately successful.
A Franklin County sheriff’s office spokesman said Roberts was booked into the county jail last Wednesday on two counts of having sexual contact with a student under the age of 19.
Roberts was released later that day after posting bond.
A Franklin County grand jury returned the two-count indictment against Roberts following a Department of Human Resources Investigation.
Roberts’ case was not yet listed in online state court records as of Monday.
