Region Digest: Porn trial set for ex-teacher

KINGSPORT, Tenn.

Porn trial Sept. 12 for ex- teacher

A former Bristol middle school teacher accused of possessing nearly 600 images of child pornography faces a Sept. 12 trial in Sullivan County.

Randall Scott McCoy, 48, is charged with sexual exploitation of a minor for allegedly possessing the images.

The Kingsport Times-News reports that a judge set the trial date as a prosecutor argued that bail for the former band director should be increased.

A hearing on whether to increase McCoy’s bail was set for May 11.
