Breaking News-Thursday afternoon

Former educator and sports coach Dan Shields entered his plea in Schuylkill County Court Thursday. Shields pleaded guilty to charges of corruption of minors, invasion of privacy, sexual abuse of children and indecent assault after he secretly videotaped female members of the track team on several occasions. He also sexually assaulted one of those team members. The courtroom was packed, as Shields, family members and his attorney appeared before Schuylkill County Judge D. Michael Stine. Jury selection in the case was supposed to begin this week in the case. A pre-sentence investigation will be conducted prior to sentencing in May. He remains free on bail.
