A former high school teacher and volleyball coach has officially pleaded guilty to a number of the charges against him in a high-profile sexual assault case.

Markus Hicks, who used fake female profiles on social media to lure teens for sexual purposes, has pleaded guilty to 54 of the 218 charges against him. Hicks appeared in court by video from the Bishop’s Falls Correctional Centre on Monday.
