High school basketball coach fired after accusations of assault against students

HICKORY, N.C. —

High school basketball coach Shawn Johnson was fired by the Hickory School District following accusations that he sexually assaulted two of his former students.

Johnson was first arrested in July on suspicion of statutory rape, and since then other students have made accusations.

Court documents accuse the former Hickory High School coach of having sex with a 14-year-old student multiple times in 2007.

If convicted, Johnson will face life in prison.
