Virginia High School Coach Released on Bail
Posted on May 21, 2009
Mac Leighton, J.R. Tucker High School's former head football coach, facing charges involving "sexting" with two high school students, was freed from jail on a $50,000 bail. A preliminary hearing was set for August 7th.
After a brief hearing in Henrico Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court, Judge S.L. Williams Jr. set a $10,000 bail yesterday on each of five felonies stemming from charges that Leighton solicited sexually explicit pictures from two students and took indecent liberties while in a custodial relationship with them. The assistant commonwealth's attorney said the students were 15 and 17 at the time of the alleged incidents, which authorities said yesterday occurred between August and January.
Authorities said that both juveniles sent Leighton sexually explicit pictures of themselves while he was coach and that he had an unspecified physical relationship with the older girl. The prosecutor described the charges involving the 15-year-old: soliciting child pornography and taking indecent liberties with the juvenile by asking her to engage in unspecified sexual acts.
The remaining three charges involve allegations that Leighton solicited the 17-year-old to engage in certain acts and successfully sought a sexually explicit image of her.
