Todd Hoiness, 40, a teacher and football coach at Hoquiam High School, in Hoquiam, Washington charged with first-degree sexual misconduct with a student athlete last week was jailed after allegedly violating conditions of his pretrial release.

Hoiness is alleged to have engaged in a sexual relationship with an 18-year-old female student last fall after she had a problem with an ex-boyfriend. The relationship came to the attention of authorities when the girl’s family found “love letters” alleged between Hoiness and the girl and went to police.

At his initial court appearance last week Hoiness was released on his own recognizance and ordered to stay away from the alleged victim and her family and not to have any unsupervised contact with juveniles, other than his own two children.

Hoiness was jailed when it was discovered that he and the girl were allegedly exchanging text messages over the weekend.
