Attorney: SC abuse suspect e-mailed families

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — A former Charleston-area coach charged with molesting nine boys sent e-mails to the victims’ families shortly before he was arrested this fall.

The Post and Courier of Charleston reports (http://bit.ly/vaRmz7 ) the e-mails from Skip ReVille conceded inappropriate games with youngsters. The newspaper reports the e-mails were referenced in a Hanahan police report and were apparently an attempt to calm parent’s concerns about ReVille. He was arrested in October.

Attorney Greg Myers represents several victims and said he has seen the e-mail and it discussed incidents including youngsters being able to earn extra points in games by pulling down their pants and exposing themselves.

ReVille is being held on $1.4 million bond. His attorney has said he is sorry for his actions and will cooperate with police.
