HANCOCK COUNTY -- A longtime public school coach and teacher is accused of having sexual contact with a girl at Hancock County High over a three-year period, Sheriff Ricky Adam said.
Investigators arrested Leslie Danielle Dewitt, 31, Friday at her home, which is in north Hancock County but has a Perkinston address. They arrested her on three counts of sexual battery involving a 16-year-old girl.
She was booked at the county jail and her bonds were set at $300,000.
Adam said the arrest came after an extensive investigation of a complaint alleging Dewitt was in a position of trust or authority when the sexual activity occurred.
"The girl was having difficulty in dealing with things, and in talking with her parents, that's what came to light," Adam said.
The sexual activity was sporadic, he said.
Dewitt was an assistant coach for the Lady Hawks basketball team at Hancock County High and left that job after the 2010-2011 school year. She became the girls' head coach and a special education teacher at Pearl River Central High in 2012, but reportedly resigned in January.
Adam said he believes Dewitt also had previously worked at two different public schools in Harrison County.
Anyone with information about the allegations is asked to call the sheriff's Criminal Investigation Division at 466-6910 or Central Dispatch at 255-9191.

Preliminary “not guilty” pending additional evidence.
Even if convicted, may be eligible for a BJ Clinton post-POTUS pardon.
There’s a little catch to this one.
"Investigators arrested Leslie Danielle Dewitt, 31, Friday at her home, which is in north Hancock County but has a Perkinston address. They arrested her on three counts of sexual battery involving a 16-year-old girl. "
When, at long last, will the Public Schools clean out the rat's nest of damned QUEERS?
When, at long last, will FREEPERS quit defending child molesters?
This seems to happen daily. The MSM makes sure they stay local stories of course.
She is an WNBA type.
With those teeth, I bet she could devour and ear of corn in 10 seconds....
Reading the sports section these days is almost like reading the FBI’s most wanted list in the post office.
This can’t be true. The liberal activists assure us that homosexuals don’t molest children. Could our far left leaders be wrong?
No more cold beers on the drive home for her
This case provides evidence supportive of the placing of Sodomites in charge of Boy Scout troops.
Here’s another one for WorldNetDaily’s collection of women teacher violating children.
We had the same thing happen here at “River City” High School with the girls softball coach. She was quietly fired and is now teaching/coaching somewhere in Alabama. IIRC, she came here from Louisiana, so I reckon she’s just moving eastward. (The victim refused to press charges).
You did say ‘catch’ right?
Daa, what do people think will happen when they send their kids to school in Fort Handcock?
