They are to be sentenced on a hearing schedule to take place on the 21st day of January.

The incident that took place on the 22nd day of December 2015 at Gatlinburg, Tennessee where the boys’ team was taking part in a tournament saw three juveniles charged with aggravated assault and aggravated rape.

Reports claimed that a 17 year old boy sodomized a 15-year old with a pool stick. Two of the assailants aged 16 years held the victim down. This was according to victim’s grandmother testimony. However, police reports failed to identify the pool stick used to perform the uncouth act. The grandmother also added that no adult was round during the incident.

The head coach at Montgomery was shifted to another department of the school where he was curtailed to interact with students as the investigation is underway. This was directive from the Hamilton County Superintendent Rick Smith who claimed that he (coach) should not feel punished but will have to stick to his new role until the investigation is over.

NFL’s Ron Rivera comments on Cam’s dancing

NFL’s Ron Rivera comments on Cam’s dancing

Apparently, Cam Newton’s dancing has been very disruptive; this has brought up very many comments from the league and people from all over the world. Cam’s coach, Ron Rivera on Tuesday’s issue of NFL Total access, evaluated his divisive claim on his quarterback during the Panthers’ win over the titans. During his interview with Lindsay Rhodes, a media personality at NFL, Rivera stated that the celebration might have lasted a bit longer than expected, but he totally understood the reason why. He also added that he would have preferred it, if Cam took the ball and gave it to a much younger audience, who had come to watch them play. Through these statements, Rivera was able to at least make the world forget about how Cam ridiculed the whole of Tennessee on Sunday.

However, Rivera decided to keep his comments reserved on Cam Newton’s after celebrations in the league. Titan’s Coach Mike Mularkey, stated that the move Cam pulled off, after their win was way out of line, this came a day after he had ignored it, saying it was a no big deal. The Atlanta-based dance, known as the dab, was Cam’s way of celebration on Sunday when his NFL team scored against the Titans, this was very upsetting for Avery Williamson who was a member of the Titan team, who reproached Newton, and however, his reproach was not met well by Newton who continued dabbing again.

Avery and Newton had to be separated by the officials before they went out of hand. This was not the first time that Cam was causing chaos; he had done it before in New Orleans last season when he did the so called Superman celebration. This was met by Camera Jordan, a member of the Saints defensive pushing Newton, after which players started babbling on each other’s faces. This led to Panther’s team member, Brandon Williams been expelled when he punched Jordan on the face. Luckily, there was no fight during the dabbing issue on Sunday, as Newton ended the game by picking up the football, and then gave it to one of the Carolina fan, which was part of his tradition every time his team won.
