Lauderdale County, AL -

Attorneys are set to choose the jurors for a sex abuse case in Lauderdale County Monday.

Dana Allen, 38, is accused of having sex with a minor. Court documents show Allen admitted having sex with several teenagers.

Investigators said Allen gave them the names of numerous underage male victims but only one of them was under age 16, the legal age of consent in Alabama.

Allen is charged with one count of rape for sex with a 14-year-old boy. According to court documents the victim was a student at Wilson High School. Lauderdale County investigators said Allen admitted to having sex with the boy in his living room.

Officials said Allen volunteered with the junior high basketball team, but was not serving in that capacity or any other role with Wilson School during the time these incidents happened.

Testimony in the case could start as early as Wednesday.
