William J. Turner, a paraprofessional aide to special needs students and assistant football coach at Ponte Vedra High School in Ponte Vedra, Florida has been arrested on charges alleging the solicitation of sex from a 16-year-old boy.
Turner is reportedly charged with solicitation of a minor via computer, transmission of harmful materials to a minor and traveling to meet a minor to engage in a sexual activity.
Turner was arrested at a Jacksonville fast food restaurant on February 16th.
Turner came to the attention of police when they were notified that Turner had allegedly sent pornographic images to a 16 year-old boy. The boy’s parents gave permission for a CyberCrimes investigator to assume control of the boy’s Yahoo! account.
It is alleged that Turner sent a CyberCrimes investigator posing as the teen pornographic images and messages asking the boy to engage in explicit sexual activity.
Reportedly, Turner has been suspended with pay by the school, where he has worked for four years.
