Former Coach At Tuolumne Co. School Arrested, Suspected Of Child Sex Abuse Nearly 2 Decades Later
TUOLUMNE (CBS13) – A woman who last worked at a Tuolumne County school almost two decades ago is facing child sex abuse allegations.
The Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office says detectives have been investigating allegations against Mona McGrady.
McGrady had worked at Mother Lode Christian School back in the 1990s as a sports team coordinator and coach. She resigned almost two decades ago, the school says, but detectives say they started investigating Mona six months ago after being notified of possible sexual abuse between a staff member and students at the school.
The alleged victims were former students and players, detectives say.
