A Plano soccer coach was indicted on five charges of indecency with a child, according to a grand jury report released Wednesday.

Dennis Gene Drummond

Dennis Gene Drummond coached five teams over three years for the Plano Youth Soccer Association before taking his teams to the Plano Sports Authority.

Mr. Drummond was arrested on those charges in March and April.

Mr. Drummond's attorney, Paul Stuckle, has denied the children were touched inappropriately.

Three allegations of inappropriate touching stemmed from incidents at his Plano home, including an accusation that he rubbed a young girl's thigh under her shorts while she played a computer game. Another child alleged that Mr. Drummond touched her inappropriately over her soccer shorts last fall during a team practice at Horseshoe Park in Plano.

Mr. Drummond was barred from working as a substitute teacher in the Garland school district during the 2004-2005 school year after students at a Sachse elementary school accused him of inappropriate touching. He was never arrested in that case, and a grand jury did not indict him on any charges.
