A new new series on Peacock documents the 1990's New York Yankees called "Bronx Zoo ’90: Crime, Chaos, and Baseball". One of the men the show focuses on, is former outfielder Mel Hall who was openly having an affair with a 15 year old girl, even going to her prom and moving in with her parents.

Hall was eventually prosecuted in Tarrant County in 2009. As a basketball coach, Hall sexually assaulted several minors.

KRLDs Austin York spoke with Kim D'Avignon a Tarrant County prosecutor who explains how she got involved.
