GAINESVILLE, GA — A Georgia high school basketball coach has been arrested for the sexual assault of a female student at his school.

Webster Demetrius Daniel, 42, was arrested Tuesday in Hall County and charged with sexual assault against a student and sexual battery. Daniel was coach of the Chestatee High School girls basketball team. He was suspended by the school last week.

According to the Hall County Sheriff's Office, Daniel on last Thursday engaged "in unwanted sexual contact with a juvenile female" who was a student at the school. Detectives opened an investigation after being notified by school officials the same day.
