"MARTINEZ Nicholas Moseby, the former Danville cheer coach and biology teacher who was accused of sexually abusing students, has been convicted of most counts after a lengthy trial. Moseby, 44, was found guilty of felony counts of committing a lewd act on a child and sending harmful material to a child, along with misdemeanor counts of annoying or molesting a minor and sexual battery of a girl."
"All of the victims were students who came forward after Moseby sent a video of himself masturbating to a teen girl on Snapchat, something Moseby described as a horrible accident since he maintained the footage was intended for an online sex worker. The lewd act conviction stemmed from a teen girl's testimony that Moseby groped her during a cheer practice. The annoying or molesting charges were related to lewd or inappropriate comments Moseby allegedly made to students."
Nicholas Moseby, 44, a former Danville cheer coach and biology teacher, was convicted of multiple felonies and misdemeanors related to sexual misconduct involving students after a six-week trial. Convictions include committing a lewd act on a child and sending harmful material to a child, along with counts of annoying or molesting a minor and sexual battery. Jurors acquitted him on one lewd-act charge and deadlocked on another. Allegations arose after Moseby sent a masturbatory video on Snapchat; he said the footage was meant for an online sex worker. Prosecutors offered victim testimony, corroboration from uncharged alleged victims, evidence of internet pornography searches, and witness testimony including students who required therapy animals on the stand. Defense argued accusations followed the Snapchat disclosure and amounted to a witch hunt.
