Van Rogers Goodman IV
Posted by Webmaster in Alternative Education, Health/Gym/PE, Louisiana, ME-FV(03/23/09 – Initial BadBadTeacher.com Report)
Van Rogers Goodman IV, 36, an employee in the physical education department at Oak Terrace Alternative School in Shreveport, Louisiana was arrested earlier this month by the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office on allegations that he sent sexually explicit messages to a 14-year-old female student.
Goodman was booked on March 3rd on one count each of indecent behavior with a juvenile and computer-aided solicitation of a minor for sexual purposes.
Reportedly, bond for Goodman was set in the amount of $50,368.
According to the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office, the girl asked Goodman to keep her phone for her after she remembered she had brought it to school. It is alleged that she found sexually explicit messages on her phone when she retrieved the phone from Goodman.
A check of the Caddo Parish Jail records indicates that Goodman is still being held in lieu of bond.
Webmaster’s note: This case came to our attention on March 10th, by way of an e-mail tip from “Tim”. The tip was marked to be worked later that day and as is sometimes the case, the tip fell through the cracks on a busy day. It resurfaced while cleaning out old e-mails almost two weeks later. Thanks for your efforts Tim and we promise to do better next time.
