DANVILLE, Ky. (AP) - A former Kentucky high school football coach has been accused of committing sex crimes against a child while he was leading the team in the early 1980s.
News outlets cite police and court records in Monday reports as saying 69-year-old Thomas Duffy was indicted on four sodomy charges last week by a grand jury in Boyle County.
Danville police Assistant Chief Glenn Doan says the crimes allegedly happened in 1982 and 1983 and involved a child younger than 16. Police did not say if the victim was a Danville High student.
