Former River Ridge Coach To Stand Trial for Sexual Assault
Morrow was arrested in 2011 for allegedly having sex with a former student inside his car within a Woodstock subdivision.
A former wrestling coach at River Ridge High School will soon stand trial on charges he sexually assaulted a student.
Robert Leslie Morrow, 30, will appear in Cherokee County Superior Court on Monday to face felony sexual assault charges, according to the Cherokee Tribune. Morrow has pleaded not guilty to the crime.
Morrow in August 2011 was arrested by the Woodstock Police Department after the agency learned the former coach allegedly had sex with a student in 2010.
The student told police the incident allegedly took place inside Morrow's vehicle in a business park inside the River Park subdivision. The student also told another teacher, Kristin May of Canton, of the incident, but the teacher allegedly did not report it to authorities.
After an internal investigation, both Morrow and May eventually resigned in 2011 from the Cherokee County School District.
