ROSEVILLE, Mich. (AP) — Former Detroit Lions wide receiver Tommie Boyd has been charged with criminal sexual conduct after authorities say the high school track coach had sexual contact with a teenage student.
The 38-year-old was arraigned Thursday in 39th District Court in Roseville on charges including first- and second-degree criminal sexual conduct. The charges are in two cases and a preliminary hearing for both is Feb. 3.
Boyd was being held in the Macomb County Jail.
A message seeking comment was left with defense lawyer Todd Flood.
Boyd played for the Lions in 1997 and 1998. He was a part-time contract employee for Fraser Public Schools.
Police say a relationship with the girl began in 2007 when she was a freshman at Fraser High School and continued into 2009.
