More Victims Accuse Omaha Area Drill Team Member of Sexual Assault

OMAHA, Nebraska -- A member of an Omaha area drill team is accused of sexual assault by two more girls.

23-year-old Brittianee Bates faces a number of sexual assault felony charges after having been arrested in January.

She now faces a total of five accusations, all from young girls between ages seven to 12.

The Douglas County Attorney told KFAB News partner WOWT-TV 6 News the victims said Bates told them they were playing house.

"Everybody involved here, from the standpoint of the victims, has had the courage to come forward under very difficult circumstances. They have been preyed on by somebody that they thought was a friend or a teammate," said Don Kleine.

Bates is due back in court next week. She is in county jail on a 500-thousand-dollar bond.
