Former coach convicted of molesting boy

JONESBORO - A Superior Court jury has convicted a former youth baseball coach of molesting a player who was 7 or 8 years old. <br> <br> Wednesday&#39;s verdict against Bob Jerald Duncan Jr., came a decade after he was released from prison for a sodomy offense involving a 14-year-old boy. <br> <br> Duncan, 37, could receive up to 20 years in prison when he is sentenced April 12 by Judge Deborah Benefield. <br> <br> The boy, now 11, testified that Duncan touched him inappropriately during a visit to the coach&#39;s house. Another boy who played on one of Duncan&#39;s teams said the coach hugged and kissed him inappropriately. <br> <br> The jury also heard from the victim in the 1990 case. After his conviction in that case, Duncan served a three-year prison sentence for aggravated sodomy and furnishing alcohol to a minor.
