A metro area high school football coach was charged Wednesday with sexual crimes for allegedly molesting a teenager more than a decade ago in Jackson County, prosecutors said.
Park Hill High School coach Joshua Hood, now 43, was charged with five counts of statutory sodomy, second-degree attempted statutory rape, child molestation and second-degree statutory rape, according to the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol launched an investigation in April into allegations from a woman who said she was the victim of sexual offenses by Hood
