Former Pattonville Coach Charged with Sex Crimes

Tyler Forte, a former coach at Donelson Christian Academy in Nashville, has been charged with statutory rape of a student; he allegedly engaged in multiple sexual encounters with a 17-year-old student four years ago. Forte, now 32, surrendered to authorities following the issuance of an arrest warrant, and he was released on a $10,000 bond. In a separate case in Maryland Heights, Corey Lewis, a former coach and teacher at Pattonville High School, faces charges of statutory rape and sexual contact with a student. The charges were filed after a former student reported having repeated sexual encounters with him when she was 16. The school district is working with police and has expressed its commitment to student safety. Meanwhile, in Utah, an unnamed high school coach has been arrested on multiple charges including forcible sexual abuse, with a court hearing set for later in November.
