Lesbian Coach Pleads to Sex Charges

(Oakland, California) On Thursday (11/17), 32-year-old Tanda Rucker pleaded no contest to having sex with schoolgirls. The former Encinal High School basketball coach pleaded to 18 felony charges, including 10 counts of penetration with a foreign object and eight counts of oral copulation with minors.

Rucker was originally charged in March 2004, however, additional charges were tacked on since one girl spilled her guts to the Alameda police in a fit of lesbian jealousy.

Sentencing is scheduled for February. Rucker may receive up to a year in the county jail and probation. She will also have to register as a sex offender. Rucker is currently free on a $680,000 property bond.
