Something's Askew — and not just in Miami

The Associated Press reports that former NBA player Vincent Askew has been arrested in Miami on charges that he had sex with a 16-year-old girl.

According to the cops, the 43-year-old Askew told the 16-year-old that he was recruiting players for a Miami-Dade County prep school. Allegedly, he later had sex with the girl at a hotel.

Police says that Askew was trying to get a coaching position at the school.

Considering the number of recent sex scandals involving high school coaches and teachers, Askew — if guilty — might have considered preying on a teen a job prerequisite.
