CHICAGO (CBS) -- A former junior high basketball coach charged with sexually abusing two students is expected back in criminal court Monday at 9:30 a.m.
Cara Labus, who was also a teacher, is facing three counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.
She was charged back in 2015 and is accused by two former students known as Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2.
They say the abuse started in 2008 when they were students at Orland Park's Jerling Junior High.
