KHQ has learned that the Shoshone County Prosecutor's office will not file criminal charges against former Ferris High School football coach Jim Sharkey.

Sharkey was accused of using a hot dog bun to simulate a sex act in front of players at a leadership camp in summer of 2016.

While no criminal charges will be brought, Spokane Public Schools says their investigation remains ongoing. Sharkey is currently on administrative leave from a teaching position, however we learned in March that his coaching contract will not be renewed.

Sharkey teaches a fitness and leadership class.
