TORRANCE, Calif. (AP) -- A West High School coach arrested for allegedly handcuffing and tying up teen girls at his home and on campus has been banned from the school.
Michael Anthony Smith was arrested last week for allegedly tying up four 13- to 17-year-old girls on separate occasions during the past 18 months. There was no indication sex acts occurred.
Torrance police Detective Dave Crespin says the 51-year-old Smith put tape over the girls' mouths, taped up their hands and feet and handcuffed them.
Smith, described as a walk-on coach at West High, was released on $50,000 bail after he was booked into jail Friday for investigation of false imprisonment, annoying children and sexual battery.
Smith allegedly bound the four students on separate occasions over an 18 month period.
Why wasn't he investigated after the first incident?
That's weird, but not as weird as Smith's behavior.
