GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) - Former police officer Edward Scott Yancey will be tried April 6 in federal court in Mississippi on a firearms charge.
If convicted, the former volunteer coach for the Long Beach Recreation League faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Yancey pleaded not guilty Wednesday in federal court in Gulfport.
The 37-year-old Yancey was a police officer in Gulf Shores, Ala., before he was convicted in 1998 on a federal child pornography charge. He was sentenced to three years' probation.
Last November, Yancey was arrested by Long Beach, Miss., police
on allegations that he molested a 10-year-old boy. Prosecutors say
during that investigation, Yancey was found to be allegedly in
possession of a firearm.

Why can’t they just get a male/female hooker like everyone else. Messing with children and especially of the same gender as yourself should be punishable with prison for life. They can then all enjoy each other. Sick sick sick.
