A former Cincinnati Bengal is charged with sex crimes involving a 15-year-old girl.

Nathaniel �Nate� Webster, Jr., 33, was indicted June 10 on seven sex-related charges: sexual battery, gross sexual imposition and five counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.

The former Bengal was hired in 2010 as the defensive coordinator for Bellevue High. David Eckstein, assistant principal at Bellevue, said Webster coached there part of last year, then returned to Florida because of "family issues."

The indictment was sealed until today. That may be because officials couldn�t locate Webster to arrest him until recently. On the same day he was indicted, a warrant was issued for Webster�s arrest but there are no other court records on the case until an entry today unsealing the indictment.

Webster was a linebacker from the University of Miami who signed with the Bengals as a free agent after playing for four years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He played in Cincinnati for four games over two years � 2005 and 2006 � before knee injuries ended his Bengal career. He played three more years in Denver, the last in 2008.

In all, Webster played in 99 National Football League games from 2000-2008.
