A Missouri man who is a convicted sex offender faces new charges after allegedly coaching a youth basketball team.

Forty-six-year-old Darin Lance Mason of Lake Waukomis pleaded not guilty Tuesday.

The law prohibits sex offenders from coaching, managing or training sports teams with members younger than 17.

Mason pleaded guilty in 2001 in Platte County to second-degree statutory rape and second-degree statutory sodomy for having sex with a 15-year-old player on his girls basketball team at Oak Park High School.

In the new case, Mason is charged with coaching the KC Pumas sixth- and seventh-grade boys team on March 15 during a tournament in Clay County.
