BAY ST. LOUIS, Miss. (AP) – Jury selection is underway for a teacher-student sex scandal trial involving a basketball coach, accused in the sexual abuse of a student at Hancock High School.
Danielle DeWitt is charged with two counts of sexual battery while in a position of trust, and three counts of unlawful touching of a child for lustful purposes.
