Circuit Judge Dorothy Bain ordered King to stand trial on 10 charges, but no date was set for him to enter a plea. The social studies teacher is facing five counts of second-degree sexual assault of a child under 16, four counts of child enticement with sexual contact and one count of exposing a child to harmful material. School officials suspended King from coaching and teaching.
