(Hickory, NC) -- The former boys basketball coach at Hickory High School is facing new charges.

38-year-old Shawnacie Antoine Johnson was charged Monday with taking indecent liberties with a child.

Police arrested Johnson last month and charged him with four counts of statutory rape from incidents in 2007 and 2008 and one charge of sexual activity with a student by a teacher from a 2009 incident.

Authorities say the indictment handed down Monday stems from a second alleged victim.

Johnson was a physical education coach and wide receivers coach in football in addition to being the head coach of the basketball team. Police say both accusers had been his students.

Hickory City Schools reported the allegations in May.
