Ex-Lion Tommie Boyd facing additional sex charge
Comments 0 | Recommend 0ROSEVILLE, Mich. (AP) - Former Detroit Lions wide receiver Tommie Boyd has been charged with having improper sexual contact with a third teenage girl.
Boyd's bond was increased from $300,000 to $400,000 during his arraignment Wednesday on one count of third-degree criminal sexual conduct in District Court in Roseville.
The 38-year-old resident of Macomb County's Shelby Township was charged last week with four counts of criminal sexual conduct and two counts of accosting a child for immoral purposes. The latest charge accuses Boyd of forcing a girl, then 16, to have sex in 2006 at Fraser High School, where he was a substitute teacher and track coach.
Defense lawyer Todd Flood says his client is not guilty of the charges.
Boyd played for the Lions in 1997 and 1998.
