(AP) -- Sentencing has been delayed for a man with a foot fetish who used an alias to avoid the Michigan sex offender registry while working as a football coach. Ben Walcott was to be sentenced in Ionia on Tuesday after pleading guilty last month to violating the terms of the sex offender registry act.

Authorities say Walcott used an alias to get jobs with football camps so he could get access to children. They say Walcott worked as a coach under the name "Ben Albright" and tricked boys into exposing their bare feet while he touched, photographed and videotaped them.

WWMT-TV reports Walcott faces up to a year in prison at his rescheduled sentencing on June 15.
