Coaches Arrested Nationwide for Child Exploitation Cases

In Miami, basketball coach Charles Williams, 26, was arrested for allegedly engaging in inappropriate communications and sending pornographic material to a 10-year-old boy he met at a community center. The victim's family discovered the messages when the boy’s older brother checked his phone, leading to police involvement. Williams, who is currently being held without bond, faces multiple felony charges, including lewd and lascivious behavior and child molestation, and police suspect there may be more victims. In a separate case in Texas, high school coach Kenneth Wayne Mulkey was arrested for attempting to entice a minor online, sending sexually explicit messages to someone he believed was a 14-year-old boy. Additionally, William Trevor Goodson, a former middle school teacher in Tennessee, was sentenced to over 20 years in prison for online enticement of a minor, having previously pleaded guilty to sexual abuse charges. These cases highlight ongoing concerns regarding child safety and the exploitation of minors by individuals in positions of authority.
