A former mayor of Alaska, who has been a basketball coach for high school girls and won a parent of the year award, has been charged with 47 counts of criminal charges after complaints of sexually abusing teenage girls, authorities said.

The Alaska Bureau of Investigation launched a probe against Ulric Jeffery Ulroan, 48, in January after receiving a tip-off that he allegedly sexually abused a 17-year-old girl in Chevak between 2009 and 2010, according to authorities.
