FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Franklin cheerleading coach is now arrested and indicted for charges stemming from the rape of a 17-year-old girl, police said.

James So is arrested with four counts of aggravated rape, three counts of rape and two counts of sexual battery. Police said this only included one teen and happened at Premier Athletics in March. This is the same cheer facility that had another coach last year charged and indicted for allegedly hiding a GoPro camera in the restroom from August 2020 to January 2021.
