CALDWELL, OH -- News 9 has learned that a Noble County man has been charged with four counts of sexual battery, two counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor and two counts of gross sexual imposition.
According to the Noble County Sheriff's Office, Lower Salem resident James Coyle was arrested recently on the charges.
Sheriff Landon Smith says the arrest happened after three young boys between the ages of 12 and 15 accused the 60-year-old of improper sexual contact.
The sheriff says Coyle knew the three boys because he was their Sunday school teacher at the Church of Christ in Caldwell. Coyle was a leader in the church and hadn't faced any criminal charges in the past.
