Sex-assault trial opens for ex-basketball coach
By Admin on June 18, 2009
A bench trial for a former basketball coach at Walter Payton College Prep High School in Chicago opened today on charges that he engaged in sex with one underage student and fondled another.
George Turner, 46, allegedly took a 15-year-old girl to a porn shop, bought sex toys and sexually assaulted her in a car on the North Side. The second accuser was also 15 at the time.
Turner was fired in February 2008 after the girls told school officials of the alleged incidents.
The trial before Cook County Circuit Judge James Linn recessed until Monday.
