William Joseph Seagroves, 34, a former math teacher and assistant track coach at Sullivan Central High School in Blountville, Tennessee has reportedly been indicted on a charge of sexual battery by an authority figure.

The indictment alleges that Seagroves engaged in criminal sexual contact with a 16-year-old female student on May 23, 2008.
Seagroves came to the attention of authorities in October of last year when the alleged victim filed a complaint with the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office.
Seagroves was arrested on April 13th, after the Sullivan County Grand Jury returned a sealed indictment. He was reportedly released on $30,000 bond the same day.
Seagroves, who previously had been a chemical engineer at Nuclear Fuel Services in Erwin, became a math teacher and assistant track coach in January 2006 as part of a state program to bring professionals from other disciplines into the classroom.
Reportedly, Seagroves resigned shortly after the alleged victim’s complaint in October.
