A Baltimore County basketball coach was charged over the weekend with sexually abusing a 14-year-old boy, police said Monday, but the coach's employer defended the man, The Sun's Luke Broadwater reports.

Police have charged Tyrone Terry Jordan, 55, of the 3400-block of Oakfield Avenue in Gwynn Oak, with sexual abuse of a minor, a felony, and fourth-degree sex offense, a misdemeanor.

A 14-year-old boy told police that Jordan, his basketball coach, had touched him inappropriately on Aug. 31 while he was at the Hoops Summer Camp, located in the 3700 block of Twin Lakes Court in Windsor Mill, at the Twin Lakes Racquet Club, according to Baltimore County police.

Court records show that Jordan was charged in 1997 in Baltimore City with a third-degree sex offense, a felony, but was not convicted. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault in that case and received probation before judgment. Details of that case were not immediately available.

The owner of the Twin Lakes Racquet Club, Vadim Fishkin, asked the public not to jump to conclusions. Fishkin said he has eight cameras recording the facility at all times and police have not yet reviewed the footage.
