The trial date has been changed to Oct. 25 for a former high school volleyball coach charged with third-degree attempted rape in connection with a girl he met at Kent’s Lake Meridian Park.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Daniel Gregory Lum-Lung, 35, of Renton, had been scheduled for trial Sept. 18 at King County Superior Court in Kent. Attorneys were granted a request to reschedule the trial for more time to prepare the case.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Lum-Lung, the former Mount Rainier High volleyball coach, pleaded not guilty to the charge <\/a>last November.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Kent Police arrested Lum-Lung on Nov. 15 for investigation of communicating with a minor for immoral purposes, according to charging papers. He posted bail and was released Nov. 17 from the county jail. Bail was set at $50,000.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Until his arrest, Lum-Lung taught physical education at Cascade Middle School and coached girls volleyball at Mount Rainier High School, both in the Highline School District.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Lum-Lung met the 15-year-old girl on a telephone chat line. They agreed to meet at about 5 p.m. Oct. 22 at Lake Meridian Park, according to charging papers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

While at the park, Lum-Lung allegedly made several verbal requests of the girl to do certain sexual acts. The girl told him no.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The girl also told police that Lum-Lung asked her to meet him inside the park restroom. She left the park after he entered the restroom. A couple of days later, the girl received an email reportedly from Lum-Lung that referred to “with you in the rain at Lake Meridian.” The email sender also asked if she wanted to see him again. They never met again.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The girl and her mother reported the incident to the girl’s Kent school and police were contacted.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
