NC: Wake Co Police Investigating Sexual Abuse Allegations involving Coach

Excerpt from WTVD:

February 15, 2010

Officials with Wake County Public Schools confirm that Fuquay-Varina High School women's coach Mardy Cutchin has been suspended with pay while they investigate sexual misconduct allegations.

Cutchin is accused of having sexual relations with a player.

The Fuquay-Varina Police Department is also investigating. No charges have been filed.

Police Captain Bob Adams told ABC11 that WCPSS contacted police and reported that someone came forward with the allegations. Adams says the person who reported the information was not the alleged victim and so far police have not spoken with her.

"We plan to do that today," Adams said. "This was reported to us late Thursday. We started investigating Friday. In dealing with students and faculty and everyone out for the weekend, we are back on the case today."

Cutchin also teaches at Fuquay-Varina Middle School. He has been told he's not allowed on Wake County Public Schools property pending the outcome of the investigation.

Right now he's suspended with pay from both teaching and coaching while the investigation continues.
