"It's going to be a while. We're getting a lot of calls, and we're going to follow up on all of them," lead investigator Lt. John Somerindyke said.
Scott volunteered as a boys’ varsity basketball assistant coach at Pine Forest High from 2013 until this past January, according to Cumberland County Schools officials.
He also worked as a safe schools coordinator at Pine Forest High from August 2011 to June 2013 and as a substitute teacher from 1997 to 2010.
According to Scott's mother, he has also been a foster parent for several young boys and a coach of a boys’ basketball team that plays in a Christian basketball league.
Scott has remained at the Cumberland County Detention Center since his arrest on May 2. He is being held on a bond of $17 million.
