CINCINNATI -- Jury selection has started in the trial of former Bengals linebacker Nate Webster, facing sex-related charges involving the teenage daughter of a former Cincinnati assistant coach.

He was indicted on single counts of gross sexual imposition and sexual battery and five counts of unlawful sex with a minor with gun specifications. He faces up to 36 1/2 years in prison.
