VICTORY, CAYUGA COUNTY (AP) -- A former coach for girls' teams at a Central New York school district has been charged with sexually abusing a student.
The Cayuga County Sheriff's Department says 31-year-old Kelly Powers of Red Creek was also charged this week with endangering the welfare of a child. She was arraigned in town court and released on her own recognizance.
Authorities say Powers sexually abused a student younger than 14. Deputies say the abuse occurred at the victim's home, on school property and on a school bus.
Red Creek School District officials say Powers has quit her jobs as an office monitor and coach of the girls' junior high school soccer and basketball teams.
