LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A 34-year-old youth baseball coach has been convicted of sexually assaulting two boys in Lincoln.

Online court records say a jury took about four hours Tuesday to find Jeff Hawks guilty. His sentencing is set for March 22.

Prosecutors say Hawks groped one boy during a private training session and groped another 12-year-old boy after wrestling with him.

Hawks denied touching either boy intentionally.
