The fallout from a former Indianapolis Public Schools counselor, accused of having sex with students continues on this Tuesday. WRTV-TV reports that two IPS school officials have resigned in connection to the proper legal reporting of the alleged child seduction activities of Shana Taylor.  Both, Lela Hester and Shalon Dabney have resigned, effective June 30. Hester served in the human resources department as Human Resource Services Operations Officer and Employee Relations Coordinator, respectively. Taylor is heading to court immediately after the Independence Day holiday. WTHR-TV reports Shana Taylor’s trial will begin on Tuesday, July 5. This sex scandal has led to a firestorm of criticism for the district and the alternative school where she worked regarding the district waiting six days to report the improper activity to state officials and who knew about the incidents and didn’t follow the procedure to report by law. IPS board members worked late into the night attempting to come to agreement on whether another employee, Deb Leser, the director of student services at Positive Support Academy should be fired for not alerting police or the state when she learned of Taylor’s alleged activities.

Five children on their way home from summer camp are recovering from a crash on the city’s north side. The accident happened Monday evening at East 38th Street and Central Avenue. The fire department says three vehicles stopped on 38th Street at a red light were rear-ended. The children were taken to Riley Children’s Hospital with minor injuries.

 A former Ball State University professor is facing child pornography charges. Robert Yadon was a professor of Information and Communication Sciences. He was arrested Monday after being barred from campus last week. Yadon is the third Ball State employee this year to be arrested on child pornography charges.

A former IU student accused of raping two women is going back to court. The victims are now suing John Enochs, his fraternity and the university for damages. In a deal with prosecutors, the two rape charges were dropped against Enochs and he was sentenced to probation. It’s not clear how much money the victims are seeking.

A 20-year veteran with the Indianapolis Fire Department is accused of domestic battery. Lieutenant Kelly White was arrested Sunday after police were called to a home on Stones River Drive because of a domestic disturbance.  Court records indicate White’s wife ran to an off-duty IMPD officer’s house, bleeding from the nose.  She told investigators they had been fighting and when she tried to leave, she accidentally hit him while flailing her arms, leading to the alleged assault.

Several new laws are taking effect on Friday. One law will make it a Class C infraction if a vehicle involved in a wreck is not moved out of the roadway. Starting July 1, there will also be a child abuse registry for convicts. Additionally, criminal background checks will be required for home healthcare workers.

Legendary former University of Tennessee women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt has died this morning at the age of 64. Summitt had been suffering from Alzheimer’s disease since 2011. During her Hall of Fame career, Summitt won 1,098 games and eight national championships with the Lady Volunteers. Summitt achieved the status of “the winningest coach in college basketball history.” She groomed players who became legendary like our own Indiana Fever superstar Tamika Catchings, who referred to Summitt on her own Facebook page, as “the strongest woman I know.”

The judge who will decide who gets how much of Prince’s estate says the case is in “uncharted waters.” Nearly two-dozen attorneys, representing potential heirs, showed up to have a say at a hearing Monday on the late artist’s estate. Prince died without a known will and the judge admitted in court that he and the attorneys are struggling to understand how Minnesota’s laws might affect who gets some of the estimated $100-to-$300 million the music legend left behind.
