James R. Green, dob: 11/3/1964, faces six felony counts of Statutory Sodomy 2nd Degree.*

According to court records, a now 27-year-old man has reported that as a 16-year-old student in the Northland he was sexually assaulted on multiple occasions at the defendant's Blue Springs home. These incidents occurred in 2005 when the victim was 16 and a student in Smithville. The victim said he met the defendant, then a Blue Springs teacher and coach, in an internet chat room.
