A former Rhode Island basketball coach will not spend any time in jail after he was found guilty of two misdemeanor charges back in May. Aaron Thomas, 57, a once popular coach and teacher at North Kingston High School, went on trial for asking hundreds of male student-athletes to take off their underwear so he could check their body fat. WATCH HERE WATCH HEREAfter six weeks of testimony, he was acquitted of second-degree child molestation and second-degree sexual assault and convicted of two misdemeanor battery charges. They acknowledged the test was wrong and not backed by body composition experts but insisted it didn’t break the law. They said that’s because Thomas didn’t touch the athletes for sexual gratification or arousal, a key requirement under the charges he faced.
