A former volunteer youth coach and
ex-police officer has pleaded guilty to receiving and possessing
child pornography for the second time in 11 years.
Scott Yancey of Long Beach entered his plea Tuesday. Yancey
faces 15 to 40 years in prison and a fine of $250,000. U.S.
District Judge Walter J. Gex III set a tentative sentencing date
for Feb. 10, 2010.
The 38-year-old Yancey still faces prosecution on state charges
alleging he molested three boys, ages 10 to 12, whom he helped
coach through the Long Beach Recreation League. He also is charged
with failing to register as a convicted sex offender.
The man later known as "Coach Scott" to Long Beach kids lost
his career as a policeman in Gulf Shores, Ala., after his first
child-porn conviction on March 5, 1998.
