A star high school quarterback is in trouble tonight for a shocking rape case. Authorities in Maury County have charged Mt. Pleasant High Quarterback Princeton Harlan and 2 other teens with raping a child. This really is a shocking case for people there, not just because of who's charged, but because of how young the victim is. She's only 12, and authorities say all 3 teens had sex with her in July. Because he's 18, Princeton Harlan is the only one authorities are naming. The other 2 are 16 and 17 years old, and possibly members of the football team as well. Investigators say they first learned of the case when the victim told her mother she thought she was pregnant. As it turns out, she was. The investigation into that lead to rape charges for all 3 teens and shock for the small community.
"What happened?" asks Maria Bates. "Where's the disconnect? What happened? Why would she be associated with these older boys anyways? I know our daughter would never be in a situation like that."
Authorities would not elaborate on what lead to these alleged rapes, but they do point out none of the teens are charged with forcible rape. Princeton Harlan is now out on $100,000 bond.

Courthouse in line for repairs, updates
May 25, 2013 15:50 GMT
MANCHESTER, Tenn. (AP) -- Officials in Coffee County are looking to update their historic courthouse instead of replacing the 141-year-old structure.
After all, they said the building is in pretty good shape. As far as repairs, it just needs some new paint and molding, as well as work to repair some water damage. But county maintenance director Robert Gilliam says the entire structure needs updating in order to make it last until the next century.
Gilliam and County Mayor David Pennington told the Chattanooga Times Free Press (http://bit.ly/19ivpQ6 ) that officials have taken care to maintain the building and it hasn't had any major renovations in decades.
Historical society spokeswoman Joanna Lewis said the group is trying to come up with fundraising ideas for the project.
