Marcus Perry, the former Lincoln High School staffer and girls basketball coach accused of sexually assaulting a student in a classroom, has pleaded not guilty.
Perry had been set to appear in court Wednesday, but instead his attorney filed a not-guilty plea Monday in a written waiver.
He hasn't been given a trial date yet.
Lincoln police arrested the 33-year-old Lincoln man Dec. 14 for allegedly sexually touching a 17-year-old girl without her consent. She told a school resource officer the day after she said it happened.
Perry was put on administrative leave and later arrested.
He had worked as an in-school suspension technician at Lincoln High since 2016 and was head coach of the Links' girls basketball team. He no longer is employed by Lincoln Public Schools, according to Eric Weber, associate superintendent of human resources.
