A former Dixon youth sports coach accused of having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl pleaded not guilty to the criminal charges against him Monday in Yolo Superior Court.
Troy Anthony Hensley, 37, is due back in court Friday, when his attorney Richard Lansburgh will make a bid to reduce Hensley’s $1 million bail or secure his release from jail on his own recognizance, court officials said. The hearing is set for 10 a.m. before Judge David Rosenberg.
A preliminary hearing in the case is set for June 19.
Police in Davis, where authorities say the conduct occurred over a 3 1/2-month period last year, arrested Hensley last Thursday following an investigation previously launched by the Dixon Police Department. Authorities say Hensley allegedly threatened the girl, also from Dixon, if she told anyone about the relationship.
Hensley worked as a temporary football and boys basketball coach at two Dixon schools over the past several years but is not currently employed by the Dixon Unified School District, Superintendent Brian Nolan told The Enterprise last week.
