HOLYOKE -- Former Hampshire Regional High School sports coach Richard Moussette had his lewdness case in Holyoke District Court continued to April 21.

Moussette, 54, of Holyoke, is accused of masturbating and exposing himself to a woman in the Target store in the Holyoke Mall Oct. 13. He pleaded not guilty in Holyoke District Court Oct. 20 to open and gross lewdness and lewd and lascivious behavior.

Moussette was the girls basketball coach and assistant softball coach at Hampshire Regional High School in Westhampton until he resigned a few days after the alleged lewd act in the mall Oct. 13.

Moussette's case was scheduled for a pretrial hearing Monday and his attorney, Shawn Allyn of Holyoke, had previously indicated in court documents that there was a chance the case could end in a plea on the date.

But when Moussette appeared in court Monday, Allyn asked that the case be continued, according to court officials. The next court date is a hearing on April 21.

Moussette was arrested in October after a woman reported to police that a man exposed himself and masturbated in an aisle of the Target.

Holyoke Police released stills from surveillance video footage showing the suspect leaving the store.

Police received numerous tips that the man was Moussette, and when they showed his license photo to the woman, she said she was "100 percent sure" he was the culprit, according to court records.

Moussette was released on conditions including that he not coach women's teams or attend youth sporting events.

Moussette's former attorney, Lisa A. Ball of Holyoke, said at his arraignment that none of the store's 118 cameras captured the alleged lewd act, the Daily Hampshire Gazette reported.

Moussette has been in various coaching roles in the girls basketball and softball programs at Hampshire Regional High School since 2007, the Gazette reported.
