Posted by: Webmaster in Coaches, High Schools, ME-FV, Nevada, Substitute Teachers(12/27/07 - Initial BBT Report)
Kenneth Craig, 28, a former track coach at Las Vegas High School in Las Vegas, Nevada has been arrested on a felony charge of sexual misconduct with a student.
Reportedly Craig worked as a substitute teacher for the Clark County School District from May 2003 to May 2007 and was an assistant track coach at Las Vegas High School from February to May 2006, coaching both boys and girls.
It is alleged that Craig impregnated a then 17-year-old female student and got his girlfriend to pay for an abortion for the girl.
Craig came to the attention of authorities when his now former girlfriend told the current track coach of the alleged sexual contact between Craig and the student, the alleged pregnancy and abortion.
Over the course of a seven month investigation police reportedly recovered hundreds of pages of electronic correspondence between Craig and the then-17-year-old senior from a computer that the girl used. Police also subpoenaed Craig’s MSN hotmail subscriber information and messages which allegedly indicated that Craig feared discovery and knew that the relationship could have criminal consequences.
It is alleged that one message Craig sent to the teen on May 26, 2006 said, “You forget although track is over your still in school … which means if I get caught at your house … that is MY ASS”.
Police say that Craig first had sex with the girl in March 2006 in her parents’ home. Medical records obtained by police through an October 15 grand jury subpoena showed the victim had an abortion on June 22, 2006.
Craig faces a preliminary hearing on February 20. The charge carries a possible sentence of one to five years in prison.
