SULTAN, Wash. - A high school cheerleading coach resigned after allegedly teaching her team how to perform certain sex acts.

It happened in the small Snohomish county town of Sultan, apparently during a team sleepover at the home of cheerleading coach Katie Chase.

"They shouldn’t be talking about that unless she's a health teacher," said one student.

Sultan police were called by an angry parent. After determining no crime was committed, the school district took over the investigation. School superintendent Al Robinson is very concerned about the stress on the cheerleaders.

The coach lives in the small town of Sultan.

"My concern for them is that they are able to move on without embarrassment and ridicule. It’s hard enough to be a 14- to 17-year-old young person in this day and age,” he said.

Chase held a sleepover, where she allegedly instructed the students on how to perform certain sex acts.

She had been on the job since September and was not employed as a teacher. She resigned Thursday and a new cheerleading coach was hired today to take her place.

KING 5 was not able to reach her for comment.
