A former youth girl's basketball coach has been indicted on charges that he raped a young girl and had child pornography.

A Minnehaha County Grand Jury has indicted 46-year-old Troy Thomas Fuller on a charge of 1st Degree Rape.  He's also facing 20 counts of possession of child pornography. 

Fuller is a former volunteer girls basketball coach for the YMCA.  Police don't believe he had any sexual contact with any of the players.

To the coworker: maybe it was YOU that planted what was found... And to anonymous July 24: what exactly do you mean by sick activity? and what do you mean by exwife just sits by and lets it go? what would she have to gain? or are you saying she should be charged also? and if so, for what?

He is a sick individual, I have known him for years and always thought he was a little strange,He ands his wife have been involved in sick activity I suspect all along and she is just to blame when they come to the door and assuce him of something years ago and she sits by and lets it go. SICK, and she knew all about it, From the wellness center on through other encounters in thier personal life. How can people do this?

If you saw the stuff he had here at work you would believe everything.

I know for a fact this man was a great coach and did not have any sexual contact with the players. He was a determined coach to make the girls a team. The fact that he was a volunteer coach at the ymca should not have anything to do with it.

You people really need to calm down and stop commenting things that are not true. The exwife is totally innocent. It was the exhusband's fault, not the exwife. If you don't know the story then do not say anything.

in referance to the "neighbor" post, if you have information then you have the moral responsibility to pass your knowledge on to the police. Otherwise you are just as guilty as any other party in this situation. I too believe that the ex-wife needs to be held accountable for her lack of action, the excuse that she would stay with him for the sake of her young children is pitiful. And if it was because she feared she her finacial well-being that is even worse. The sad result is damaged children

I think his ex-wife should be serving time in prison alongside him. They are both guilty of sick, immoral behavior.

J.e, if you are not intelligent enough to type than you should not be putting your opinion in writing. I just heard about this story and for anyone who has any common sense they would see right through this plan to destroy this poor guy. Even if he is found innocent these accusations will stick with him for life, and apparently the accusers know this! This could happen to anyone at anytime..keep that in mind if you happen to be going through a divorce.

This man has dedicated his entire life towards his children. Furthermore, he has been a coach for children of all ages including his own for yrs. Stop and think. An awful marriage and mean-spirited divorce results in any of us to question the basis of this allegation.

There is a whole cornucopia of filth in terms of the behaviors of the adults in this neighborhood thruout the last 9 yrs. For one to accuse an individual of such a vile act is not surprising. Certain people exist that are driven by vindictiveness,resentment, guilt,and greed. This accusation is self medication for others in an attempt to rectify their own demons.

In ref to blogs on KSFY story/July 9th: So if you or your neighbor has knowledge or info of an alleged rape, you think you have the legal right yet alone moral right to sit on this info for 9 yrs?? And you think you or your neighbor has an OPTION to press charges?!! This is beyond unconscionable. With that there is good reason to believe that this alleged incident did not occur. There is more to this story. Actions speak louder than words and this neighbor and exwife will be judged by theirs.

I hope these men are being punished correctly not jst probation or classes these are children they are taking advantage of. and should be punished not released. I hope this judge has daughters and son's and thinks whn sentencing any of this predators. This is wrong and should STOP! this is not s.Falls was :(
