e-mail print friendly

An attorney representing Franklin County Schools has requested an investigation into an allegation that a Louisburg High School coach impregnated a student, Louisburg Police Chief Rick Lassiter said Tuesday.

Lassiter said Boyd Sturges, the school district's attorney, called the police department Tuesday to initiate an investigation. He said he has asked the State Bureau of Investigation to assist in the case.

No charges have been filed.

Lassiter said the girl involved in the allegation is a Louisburg High student, meaning the coach would have had a custodial relationship with her. He declined to say how old she is.

Hopefully when the child is born and she holds it in her arms she will discover true, real love. Unfortunately, I have heard that her parents are going to raise the baby. Better luck this time around is all I have to say.

Once again, yes the adult is to hold the resposiblity for his actions and this affair. Before anyone misunderstands what I am saying.

they love each other. heregirl922

If he loved her he would not have put her in this situation. If she came on to him he would have refused. When you love someone you put that person's best interests ahead of your own wants.

heregirl922:

She had no idea what love is. She can think about that though when she is pushing that baby out. If he knew what love was he would have been loyal to his wife and their kids. Does she honestly think that he will not do the same to her, kids these days. By the way, carring a baby does not make you an adult. I am glad she has friends though, maybe you can baby sit for her sometime. It doesn't shock me that she is not paying attention to what people think, if she did maybe she would have stayed away from a married man!

ok. first of all. everyone who is defending this girl and you dont know her...God bless. everyone who is defending her and does know her...same to you. but if you are judging her and critizing her actions and you dont know her. or even if you do then you should be ashamed of yourself. i know this girl very well. she is one of my best friends. and if this incident would have happened to anyone else i admit i would be shocked, suprised, judgemental...but i shouldnt do that. you dont know her or the story behind what she did. or what he did. age is a number. they love each other. and it just so happened that he was a gym coach. not HER gym coach...A gym coach. do not judge. you dont have the right. only God can judge this girl and this man. but not you. not until you know the story and you fully know her. ps...the harsh comments people are leaving makes no difference. she isnt paying attention to them...get over yourselves.

I bet,that justice will be harsher on him then it is on the female (tramp) teacher who had sex (statutory rape) 300 times with a 13 year old boy
