Petoskey Gymnastics Coach James Mitchell stood in front of the Emmet County courtroom today charged with six sex crimes against an eight-year-old student.
Police believe Mitchell inappropriately touched the girl between January and September of 2009 at the Tumbling Arts Center. They say the girl recently came forward and told her nanny and mother Mitchell touched her. According to a police affidavit, the girl says Mitchell touched her mostly during private sessions. Police are still investigating and say there are other victims. According to the affidavit, Mitchell admitted to touching three students in a sexual manner. Police expect more charges to be filed against Mitchell. He could spend up to 15 years in prison if he's found guilty. 9&10's Christina Vecchioni and photojournalist Aaron Smith have more details.
