What grade is your son in? I'm sorry. I'm not >> He's going into the ninth grade this year. >> Okay. So, he's going into the ninth grade. And how old is he? >> 15. >> 15. Did he just turn 15? >> Mhm. >> Okay. When did 21st? >> This is a grown This allegedly This is a grown woman. >> Okay. Um, this is trigger warning. We are watching at least two different child predators. I've watched most of this first one and some of the second one I'm going to show you, but the first one um she has the whole narrative of he wanted to do it, I didn't really want to do it thing going on. So, but yeah, these are ones my subscribers have sent me. And so, again, trigger warning just because of the content that's being discussed. I may have some comments uh every now and again because it's a reaction thing and I will have the videos linked in the description box if you just want to watch straight footage. No talking. All right, here we go. >> Just a hair young and well, you're being educator not supposed to do that, but it's really the age. >> Isn't he 15? I mean, it's a middle school. What kind of sicko? When disturbing messages between a Texas teacher and a middle school student surface online, detectives step in to investigate. But her sickening admissions are far worse than they could have ever imagined. >> I just saw your hair in the cookie jar. >> The following is based on official police records, and the footage has never been seen before until now. On July 19th, 2023, the Nacadocious Police Department receives a call from district officers at Mcichael Middle School. Hey, we've got a situation where a uh teacher has been, I guess, having an inappropriate relationship with a student outside of school. And it just came to our attention, another kid here at the school showed the principal over here some uh Snapchats that were corresponding between the child and the teacher, but we believe everything's been happening during this summer break out in town. The messages anonymously posted to Facebook 4 days earlier on July 15th show conversations between a student and 24year-old teacher Annalie Andrews, a reading interventionist who was just hired by the district for the recent school year. Investigators contact the student's mother, and she arrives at the police station unaware of the shocking discovery. >> We've looked at these messages and they are obviously a little concerning. um maybe even a little inappropriate. Um so I want you to look at these um they're messages from Snapchat. Are you familiar with Snapchat? >> All right, I have it. Well, these messages are from Snapchat. Uh basically, which is an application that you can send messages and pictures and videos uh back and forth to someone and these messages and videos after a certain period of time, they disappear. However, it appears that someone was able to gain access to the child's Snapchat account as at least 12 screenshots were captured and two chats were deleted. >> What grade is your son in? I'm sorry. I'm not going into the ninth grade this year. >> Okay. So, he's going into the ninth grade. And how old is he? >> 15. >> 15. Did he just turn 15? >> Mhm. >> Okay. women 21st. >> This is a grown This allegedly this is a grown woman. >> I would think he would have enough right from home. >> We really want >> No, mom. And okay, she's processing this. She's just finding out. I'm going to give her grace because she looks very sad. And um but it's not if he would have enough sense an adult took advantage of a minor. Um, I'm not saying she's doing this, but it's usually more common when it's the little girls and someone's like, "I can't believe she was being this fast." Um, so hopefully she processes it and realizes her son is a victim. He was groomed. He's not even expected to figure out how to navigate an adult manipulating him like that. So hopefully she realizes she's just getting all this information now. So, I'm not trying to, you know, put too much on her or anything. >> Want to stop this from happening further. Like, yeah, we're taking the initiative to do this. We don't want >> if something is happening, we want to stop it now. We don't want it to progress. >> I mean, that's a middle school. What kind of goal? Yeah, we we agreed. >> Yeah, we definitely agreed. Though school is out for the summer, investigators are able to intercept the teacher, Miss Andrews, as she arrives on campus to turn in computer equipment. The evidence made public is already damning, but her own admissions will soon expose the full horrifying truth. >> Hi, I'm with the police department. My name is Detective B. We'd like to visit with you for a few minutes. Have you got a few minutes for us? Uh, >> I I I I think so. Do you want a little busy, but >> Okay, sure. Let's go in here. >> Long story short, I know you're in a hurry. Uh and and we don't want to hold you up. One, you don't have to talk to us. >> Okay. >> You know, you're not under arrest or anything like that. >> Okay. >> But, uh do you know what we're here about? Something's come up. >> Um I mean, I'm I'm not really sure. >> Tell us about it. The mistake I made was um letting him um contact me. >> Yeah. >> And um you know, we just talked and I didn't, you know, think anything of it really. he uh [clears throat] sort of uh started to um make me feel uncomfortable. And after, you know, after I could tell that was how he was thinking, I you know, and also just getting some space away from the situation, right? >> Um you know, I went on vacation. I like applied to a totally different job actually. I'm like going overseas now to like go um volunteer on mercy ships. >> Notably, Miss Andrews resignation letter was submitted on the same day the screenshots were shared to Facebook. In the email sent to administrator, she describes traveling overseas to teach at a small academy for children and considers returning to Mcichael Middle School in the future. Was he a direct student of yours or was he just in >> so just international minor victims is what I'm gathering because they might not have as many laws to protect them from predators like her >> in the school and he was just uh that guy >> he was in the school. >> Okay. >> He wasn't one of my students. >> Okay. >> During his forensic interview, the student explained he first met Ms. Andrews when his friends told him to go to her classroom when he should have been in jazz class. It was there they exchanged Snapchat information. >> I probably said some things that I shouldn't have said um to him, but nothing nothing criminal ever happened between us. Um and I don't know what he said. Um and you know it's just really frustrating. Um you know I don't know what I was accused of exactly. Following the Facebook post, Ms. Andrews messaged the anonymous poster on Instagram. In her message, she wrote, "Who are you? What do you want?" The anonymous person replied, "I know what you did." While Ms. Andrews denies anything criminal took place, the detective hints that he knows more about the situation than she realizes. >> I mean, you know how you were a teacher when the kids you catch one? Just for example, hand in the cookie jar. >> I just saw your hand in the cookie jar. The messages suggest the pair met outside of school on multiple occasions. In one exchange, Miss Andrews arranges to pick up the student at his home, and he writes, "Park in front of the house." Like last time, >> we never We only were at his h I mean, I I just picked him up from his house, so we never really spent a long time there. >> Do you [clears throat] Did you go inside? >> I did go inside um once or twice. >> All right. Fine. Hey, that Do you see us going? Oh my god. We're not We're just talking. We Hey, this is not the end of the world. We just we just gota >> this is really, you know, I like I just have a lot going on right now, you know, about to get on a plane >> again. Remember what I said >> um before they continue because um it's disturbing hearing the tactic, but I understand the tactic. She hasn't asked for representation. He's getting her to talk. She doesn't know how much they know yet. Um, so he's minimizing during the interrogation her actions, but the law is the law. So he's just trying to get her to talk, but I was like, uh, when he was like, you know, it's not that bad. Like, it is that bad, but I think he's just doing that to get her to talk. >> This whole thing, we're going to get through this. >> In other messages, they agree to meet in parking lots and even at a local Domino's. >> Dominoes? across the street from my house. Okay. Okay. Okay. What are you thinking right now? What does it sound like to you? >> To be somebody that's old enough to drive. >> Miss Andrews also rides. Just say you're going to hang out with a friend >> for a good I'd say good two weeks. He was spending a lot of time out of the house, which is weird for him cuz he's normally just in the house and on the game. But it was about time school let out. So I thought he was just hanging with spring. Wow. >> Y'all first see each other for the first time. Does he like show interest in you? Do you show interest in him? How did this kind of get spun up so quick or or has this been going on for the whole last school year? >> No. No. So I mean um I mean I'm obviously I'm not an idiot. I I I'm sure, you know, part of me in the back of my mind like probably knew that he might, you know, from me or even try to do something, but I just thought that I I just assumed like, oh, of course I would, of course I wouldn't do that. Of course that wouldn't happen. I just was uncomfortable. And so and I only knew him and not the other kids. >> Mhm. And I'm sure I was partially uncomfortable cuz I shouldn't have been there, but uh I was just lonely and wanted just someone to hang out with. >> Let me ask you this. How many How many times did y'all meet? >> Um I I think I mean I'm I'm I'm just trying to like I didn't I mean I didn't count probably like three times. >> Three shirt weren't a little little more than that. I don't know. I'm not trying to think of a number. I just I just don't really remember. >> Less than 10. >> Oh, much less than 10. >> Fiveish. >> I I think it was less than five. >> Less than five. >> But according to the student, the two met outside of school approximately six or seven times. >> Met his house. Where else did y'all meet? Um and the uh the other place we went was we went um to the park, whatever park is like sort of in that area and you know there were some other kids there and um just like it was just yeah it was just so stupid and I felt uncomfortable the whole time and I didn't even know why I was there >> cuz he's a smooth talker. He he is he he knows how to uh speak to to an attractive young. Hey, listen. >> It sounds really stupid, but like you know and also like you know like I had gotten to know him as a friend, you know. >> He's a good kid. >> He's a good kid and I am just too open and he I'm I'm too like I I just I'm too trusting and too nice. >> No, you are you have a some people call it a sickness. I don't care what you call it. you going you need to go to jail for it, whatever it is. But you have an innate evil inside of you and you violated a minor and don't know if this is the first minor cuz a lot of times they never get caught the first time. So no, no, no, you weren't open. You were a predator. You need to be in jail. >> And um that [clears throat] I hate to have learned that lesson. >> Those are not bad traits to have in this 2023. >> By the student's recollection, the first time he quote hung out with Ms. Andrews was at a place she took him to, which he calls the mansion. >> So, at his house, at a park. Where else did y'all meet? >> Um, the only other place was um we went to um a property I have. It has, you know, it just has I mean, it's just a nice place to hang out, I guess. >> Miss Anders explains the vacant property belongs to her mother and is occasionally rented out to guests. She'll later take the investigators to the mansion so they can see it for themselves. But as the messages reveal, hanging out was far from the only thing they were doing there. >> There's mention of drugs on the same way. >> Now, we did learn a little bit about >> the drugs mentioned. The screenshot that I saw was a blunt. Um, just saying that because drugs could mean anything. So, I just want to tell y'all what I saw just now on there. It said blunt. Um, sorry. And it's not legal in Texas yet. Every other state just about it's legal. But we saw a little about some smoking. What's What's going on with that? >> I mean, he brought it and he offered me some and I said yes. >> They'll just smoke together like people smoke. Okay. That that was his I'm talking about marijuana. Is that Are we talking about the same thing? >> Yes. >> No cocaine or meth? None of that nons. Okay. All right. Good. But based on the child's forensic interview and the more cryptic messages, investigators are certain something far worse occurred between them. >> How many times did some sort of inappropriate sexual event happen? How many times are we talking? >> Just in case you came in later, her very part, the very beginning before she knew how much they knew or he made it seem like, oh, it's not that bad. Um, she said nothing criminal ever happened. It was just some text that I sent. Now he's gotten to the question of how many times basically did you are word that little boy? Because that's really what it is. It's not a relationship. [snorts] >> I'm sorry. >> It's okay. [snorts] >> Wait, three times. >> Three times. Okay, fair enough. You're three times. You're pretty sure on that? >> Well, >> three times. Okay. >> I'm not quite sure. >> Out of But here's the important part to this. Out of those three times, did you ever force him? >> No. I said no. I [laughter] said no. >> Okay. [clears throat and snorts] Did you ever trick him into doing it? >> No. >> Did you ever say, "I'll buy you Domino's pizza." Or >> I said no the first time like a bunch of times. Okay. [snorts] Well, no. Keep in mind, we have to ask these questions because we we have got to weigh are you this horrible monster or are you somebody that made a silly mistake? >> While she's adamant she said no multiple times, according to the child's forensic interview, Miss Andrews was the one who first initiated the inappropriate physical contact. Still, she tries to explain to the investigator that it was the student who made advances and it was unwanted. >> So, y'all are there. He gets personal. >> Mhm. >> Do you open up to him >> a little bit? >> A little bit. Okay. >> Yeah. >> Or does it progress from there? >> I mean, he um he tried to kiss me and I backed away. >> Okay. Um, and he uh, you know, I I mean, obviously I didn't I didn't get up and walk away, which is what I should have done, but I was still just uncomfortable and kind of pushing him off and saying like that I didn't want to do it. And, you know, he was just really hot and >> Oh, me. This is his interrogation strategy. He does I I am on in the opinion of he does not actually mean to cuddle her like he actually cares about how she feels. This she has no legal representation and she's spilling the beans right now. This is an interrogation tactic in my eyes. He's not actually caring about her >> heavy honestly. And he was just saying that like he was almost done and he just wanted to do it and like and I just I guess I just Yeah. I mean it was kind of in that moment that things happened. >> Was that the the first sexual encounter? >> Okay. Believe it or not, these type of situations happen frequently. We Here here's the whole thing. He's just he's just a he he's just a hair young. That's the only thing that makes this why we're here. You understand that, right? >> Mhm. >> And and well, you're being educated, not supposed to do that, but it's really the age. >> Mhm. >> Uh I mean, do you know how old he is? [snorts] >> I understand. >> Do you know how old he is? >> Uh yes. >> How old is he? >> Isn't he 15? >> Although Ms. Andrews is correct that the child is now 15. By her own admissions, their meetings took place during the first two weeks of summer break when he was still only 14 years old. >> Hey, it's okay. Look at me. Breathe. It's okay. Have we freaked out? No. We got a job to do. Now, if he was like 13, that's not that's really bad. This is not It's illegal. I'm going to say, but it's not way, you know, like way crazy. It is illegal. It It is, but I've already told you what when we get through talking, you're going to go about your way. >> Now, seemingly more at ease, Miss Andrews began sharing additional details about other encounters. by that time like I was just in the wrong mindset and um and so it did h happen another time [snorts] >> just and that was when I say 50/50 both parties agreed to this. >> Yeah. If that >> if that >> if that >> you were apprehensive but went against your better judgment and okay >> by this time like I wasn't I I didn't say no as much. You didn't say no at all. >> I mean, I I I did tell him that like we shouldn't do it and you know, but I I did say like I I was always like [snorts] antagonistic about the situation and you know, saying that we shouldn't do it, but in my mind, I just >> I wish there could be extra time for her trying to make it seem like he forced himself on her. I really wish there's some way to get extra time for this cuz she is pissing me off. It's already enough that you're you're a child predator. Then you're trying to say, "Oh my god, >> didn't I wasn't aggressive enough." >> Were y'all was he using protection? >> Yes. >> Okay. All right. >> Lord knows where he got it. >> According to the students forensic interview, before bringing the child to the mansion, Ms. Andrew stopped at a CVS and purchased the condoms herself. After several encounters on the trail outside the mansion property, the used condoms would be discarded in a nearby creek. Additional acts took place inside the house itself. >> We were in a room with a carpet on it. >> Okay. >> And then at some point he moved me to the bed that was inside. >> The room with the carpet doesn't have is outside. It's in It's in the uh air conditioned garage. >> Oh, okay. Okay. [snorts] So, did you say took he took you into the a room with a bed? >> Yes. >> Okay. Be be correct about this cuz it it matters. >> Okay. >> From the transition from the original the touching to it's obvious he wants to have sex until the act. >> Is he forcing you? He just didn't really give me much of a chance to say no. I mean, he was just really he was just really forward and like hands-on, you know what I mean? I mean, he would forcibly do things, but just not not in a violent way. >> The investigator then asks what they would do after each encounter. I mean, we just spend time together doing just talking and >> as don't take as couples do as as I mean a couple that >> for lack of a better phrase >> for lack of a lot better phrase, but yes, as people that have somewhat of an interest in each other do that are in a relationship. >> I hope so. >> Well, I don't [snorts] agree to it because it sound that's again lack for better words. >> After asking her permission, Miss Andrews agrees to take the detective to the mansion where the incidents took place. While waiting on a camera to photograph the location, he asks Analie to share more details about the volunteer group, Mercy Ships. >> It's Christian and it's like a supportive environment. And so, >> you know, I just I wanted to be somewhere where I could um you know, [clears throat] mature and have uh you know, spiritual support and you know, people around me that [snorts] I trusted and you know, just just to grow as as a person and as a teacher, >> right? Um, and so I would be uh staying there for 2 years. >> 2 years. >> Mhm. >> With the detectives encouragement, Ms. Andrews seems to believe a 2-year trip abroad is still on the table. She'll later learn that her next destination won't be overseas. Once a camera arrives, an officer begins to take photographs of the property. >> Is this the bedroom we were talking about earlier? >> Yes, [snorts] sir. Did y'all ever spend any full nights out here or just >> I mean we were out pretty late but never a full night. Okay. >> And the main thing what we have to look obviously this place is not like what we're normally used to going into. If we walked in there and there's a broken lamp and glass and a marks on and we like okay so was there a struggle? Was it him? Was it you? That's that's why we've got to >> don't read any more into it than what that's the deal. This is more of a just a thing. We're we're doing our job. >> I understand. Yeah, sure. That makes sense. >> The air conditioned garage she earlier mentioned is also photographed. The room contains twin bunk beds, stuffed animals, and a ping pong table seemingly designed to appeal to children. Once they're finished, investigators ask Miss Andrews to voluntarily hand over her cell phone, and she agrees. Does anybody else know >> what I couldn't tell in Jesus that is so creepy is who owns this property that she's nicknamed the mansion. And then when he just said that it seemed to be there to appeal to children. Oh, that gives me chills. I want to know whose property this is as well. But yeah, she was to me. Oh my god. She was just going to go keep making victims wherever she went. She was going to keep creating victims. >> Oh, about what's going on? >> My mom does. >> Told your mom. >> Yes, sir. >> What What advice did mom give? >> What advice did she give? Um, I mean, >> did the right thing? >> She Yeah, she just told me to do the right thing. >> The following morning, Miss Andrew sent another email to administrators, resigning from her teaching position, effective immediately. The students mother also returned to provide consent for investigators to perform a forensic examination of her son's phone. It was then they discovered further messages that revealed the identity of the person who screenshotted the messages and uploaded them to Facebook. The students girlfriend after logging into his Snapchat account discovered the messages between him and Ms. Andrews. She was able to piece together the identity of Anna Lee after seeing a separate group chat in which the student admitted to his friends, "I just a teacher." She then posted the messages online and confronted Miss Andrews herself, also a >> Well, thank goodness for a jealous girlfriend in this case because that's a predator she exposed. I know for her she may or may not Well, she did say that they were sick too, but um yeah, in this case, thank goodness cuz the parent needed to know the mom, you know, she needed to know what was going on with her son. Um, let me see what this screenshot says. So, this is this is the woman uh this predator teacher writing. What is that kid saying? I did. You need to go entertain yourself with someone else. I don't have time for this. They reply back the text between you and him saying otherwise, Miss Andrews. And I've been told by other students you've been giving them rides, taking them to this mansion. I've even been told you had SCX with another student, too. What about those boys who would meet up at your room during eighth period passing? Well, the police have plenty of time for this, Miss Andrews, and I would love to entertain them with this. Oh, she's smart. Okay. Okay. Um, that ties the loop. Oh, and thank y'all. Y'all said that's her mama house. That that's the mansion. So, thank you for answering my question on that. But she tied the loop. Cuz remember at the beginning or if you weren't here at the beginning, the victim does not have her class. Some other boys said you should go visit her. So that to me means she's done inappropriate stuff with those other boys because there's no reason to visit her out if you don't know of her and she's not your teacher. And he was supposed to be a jazz class when he went to go visit her. So, she already had, as this text is saying, a reputation with the the other kids. She was praying on other children, >> accusing her of victimizing other students. When Miss Andrews returned to the station to retrieve her cell phone, she was questioned about these accusations. >> Don't be offended, but I've got to ask you this. Has anything like this ever happened before with anybody else that's not quite old enough? >> No, sir. I mean, if it has, let's get it has. Okay. All right. You give me a word on that. >> I promise you. >> Okay. All right. Okay. Well, thank you. >> No evidence was uncovered that any additional children were victimized. Hours later, police arrived to arrest Miss Andrews at her home. >> Hi, Miss Andrews. Is Annalie here? Are you Annie? You mind stepping outside to me real quick? >> Yeah, sir. I don't have these on. >> All right, that's fine. All right. So, I'm going to need to play transplant you back for me. Okay. So, you're going to go to county jail. Okay. Please. Okay. [clears throat] Um, there are several felony warrants. Okay. >> I know it's kind of a tough situation, but it's going to work out. All right. Try and breathe and stay calm. Okay. >> She can't take any books. Nothing. No Bible. Nothing. >> Don't have a Bible in there. >> That Bible ain't going to help her. She wasn't She wasn't uh It wasn't helping her not touching rword little kids before. So, what the hell? She need one now. I hate it. I I hate it. Oh my god. I I've had so many curse words when I've been on mute. And I don't curse a lot. So, it don't even sound the best coming from me, but I am cursing when I'm on mute. I just want you to know it's a lot of borders flying behind my mic right now. >> The chicken ass. In August of 2024, Anna Lee Andrews pleaded guilty to four counts of sexual assault of a child under 17 years old and three counts of online solicitation of a minor. On April 8th, 2025, she was given a concurrent sentence of 2 years at the Texas Department of Corrections with 44 days credited for time served and fined $5,000. She must also register as a sex offender. If you'd like to see select new videos, >> not enough time. And just because they didn't find evidence, I know she had other victims spec just at that school alone. Oh my gosh. I know they did. They just didn't find it. Yes, Richie. I agree. She does deserve all the curse words. I'm just not the best at it. But I promise you it's flying out here. Okay. Um, this is the other one I was going to do. This is This is the last one cuz I think I'm just going to do two. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. I didn't watch this one the whole way through. It says high school football coach realizes he's been caught. Oh, and before I move on, two years is nothing. That's not enough time. Jesus, that's Oh my gosh. Let's keep it moving. So, high school football coach um realizes he's been caught. Let's go ahead and watch this one. I haven't seen this. >> I'm being offended with him. >> You are going to be placed under arrest >> and this is going to be as for It's going to be a sex offense with them involving it cuz I don't want to see him get taken advantage of. >> It's January in Ocala, Florida, where one high school's assistant football coach is about to be taught a serious lesson. >> All right. So, why do you think you're here today? >> My relationship with some of the girls. >> Okay. What does that look like >> from the outside? From the outside, you would think it's weird something going on, but I've been a coach in five years and it's like I'm they can confine in me as well as the boys. >> Okay. >> Like, excuse [clears throat] me. Like, it looks weird, but like they come to me with problems and, you know, just confined and cuz I'm easy to talk to and the boys do it too and I I'm there for them basically. >> How long have you been coaching out there? >> This will be my fifth year. >> Fifth year. Okay. So, you've been out there for a long time, seeing a lot of kids coming and going. >> Yes. >> Okay. And do you do that full-time or do you do something else? No, I work I I work for the city of North Carolina Drive. >> Okay. How long you been doing that? >> Five years. Six. Five years. >> Okay. >> Detectives identify the man seen here as 43-year-old James Ford III who was arrested after a school resource officer was alerted about an alleged sexual relationship between him and a 16-year-old student. >> Okay. So, I know you said you were you believed you were here because of some inappropriate possibly people think is inappropriate with the girls. Is there any girls in particular? Yes. It's Well, am I not say the name because I don't know. >> Yeah, absolutely. >> It's >> okay. >> Okay. And then are these girls um do they how do you how do you I mean cuz I know you said football. Are they do you guys have like a football like a girls like a flag football? >> We have girls football team. One of them girls plays flag. She also plays soccer football. >> Okay. Wow. >> Yeah. So it's like it's just been a father feel like I lost her father. >> Okay. And even her grandmother, I'm really close with her grandmother and all. And she comes to me all the time. I appreciate what me and some other coach have done for her, been there. The stuff being >> I promise nobody gives a f how close you are to her grandmother. That's the textbook thing that y'all do as predators is get close to the adult. Oh, they're so trustworthy. They're so dependable. I am not worried when they're with them. Don't care how close. It was all deception. Nobody cares >> that role and like our previous head coach did ask do you have to worry about that and other coach like no it's like she lost her dad he's like a real father figure to her and it's just like outside looking in you'll think cuz it's weird cuz that's not my child I have a son that goes >> oh okay >> and even the kids some of the kids say that's coach Ford other bonus daughter so it's like that >> so you just developed alibis with the other kids or another perception that you you're creating the facade you want people to see nobody body gives a good got D what other people say about that being your bonus daughter or whatever else you know what you did and I'm and honestly since I haven't seen the end of this but since it's here I'm guessing he was you know he's obviously accused I'm guessing he was convicted cuz it's on law and crime they usually kind of come after the after the sentencing fact but I no one cares you do not have credentials with these other kids that just means you were deceiving more people >> and that's referring to Okay. And how about >> is uh she's a football player. She comes to me with her problems and she just made a fly for me for flag football. So like she calls me uncle and all as well as stuff and call me they'll call me uncle >> and like when they have problems they'll come to me. You try to step on the right path now. I talk to them and give it to them like they're all my kids. >> Right. >> So >> yeah cuz it's tough out here. >> Yeah. And I don't want to sugar coat nothing to be soft on them cuz I don't want to see them get to taken advantage of and >> Right. So we do kind of talk and >> I just want you to know the n-word is now flying. It's bwords for him and nwords for him flying right now behind my mic. I don't want anybody to take advantage of them. I be hoping for prison justice for people like this. I Oh, I really do. >> So if some kids do hear us talking, it's kind of how I would talk my own kids. >> Okay. And then how about >> same with uncle? Same as that. Just >> same. Okay. Just kind of that father figure. >> Well, no. Her dad's in her life. It's just I'm just >> who she could come conf come confined in. >> Okay. >> Like if they have problems. >> And then have have these girls been at the school and then since you've been there or did they come later on? What did that look like? >> Like have you had interaction with them for [clears throat] you know four, three, four years or? >> I met them. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> So just at at the actual school. >> Yeah. And the boys are and the boys are the same. Like I have one player, he says, "I'm more of a dad him than his own dad." >> Okay. >> And so it's just like I'm mentoring basically what I thought I was doing, right? But >> yeah. And I know so I know like when you have teams and stuff, you have to keep in contact with your players and things like that. >> Do you communicate with these girls at all on, you know, like a cell phone or as an app or >> No, they'll text me. Coach Ford, I need uh >> That's a damn yes. Do they Do you communicate with them? No, they text me. You're communicating with them. It's just the you can't even answer a straight question because you know what you did. So, you're trying to filter everything and no, I didn't do this, but that that's literally what you just said. Also, um he just makes me think of how like, well, there's predators. This is why I don't even know if I had a child that I don't I don't think they could go to summer camp or none of this stuff. the Boy Scouts. I'm sure the Girl Scouts have them too, but the Boy Scouts just make the news more with their predators. He's just like, "Wherever the kids are, that's where these predators will be. >> Their problems or can I talk to them about this? Can they can I help them out with this or this and that or >> stuff like that?" >> Okay. >> James tells the detective he doesn't want the students to quote get taken advantage of and says he's more of a father figure to some of the minors. But this detective isn't convinced. So you basically you have the the team's contact numbers, they have yours, and it's just general conversation back and forth. Okay. At any point in time has there ever been and you know it's like we know these you know girls these days. Is there any time when any of this conversation maybe went a little differently than it should or something that might not be? >> No ma'am. But people look at it and don't know the ends of it. You would think that cuz of they'll come hug me and be up under me and stuff like that. So, it looks weird cuz the trainer said something and but it but it's not like that. >> Okay. And then how about >> Sorry. I hope um >> who did they say raised the red flag on him? They said it at the beginning, but um thank you for the trainer at least noticing it and being very questionable about it. I don't know if they were the ones that ended up ringing the alarm overall. Maybe there are a few reports, but it's weird because you're doing too much because you don't have the right intentions. Because even if, and it happens all the time, younger people can develop a crush on older people, the older people are not supposed to actually entertain the crush. But if you are a sick monster like this, you will continue to let that stuff happen because that's what you wanted anyways. on the text. Anything on that end that you've had to maybe shut down or >> something nothing's popped up on their end or on your end? >> Nope. >> Okay. All right. Um, so when when would you say you started communicating with any of these girls over the over text just about sports or whatever? >> Okay. Um, with the football team, we have everyone's number. So, we have group text and I have a text, hey, I need you to do this. Uh, >> okay. ask what numbers they want or you know stuff like that, >> right? >> And basically that's how it was. And then with the flag with the girls, I coach flag football the girls. >> Okay. >> The it's basically the girls basketball team which most of them have my number also. >> Okay. >> And like they'll text me coach I'm sorry I cut off. No, you're >> they text me like coach when this flag starts. So I text them the schedule or practice starts this day or whatever like that. >> Okay. And I know you said um you felt like people at school maybe felt a different way. When did you get knowledge that something was maybe being said? >> Well, last year coach had coach asked did he have to worry about and said no it's no it's fine. >> Okay. >> And the trainer she was kind of skeptical too. >> Now James reveals that a >> wait hold on cuz did he say two adults noticed cuz he said and the trainer I went back a little bit to make sure I caught it. >> Actually coach had coach asked did he have to worry about and said no it's no it's fine. >> Okay. and the trainer, she was kind of skeptical, too. >> Now, >> he he and he didn't finish his sentence. So, a different coach asked a So, there's three coaches in this scenario, him and two other coaches. Cuz he's saying a one coach asked another coach, "Was there something to worry about?" And then also now he's saying the trainer uh said that things were questionable. I'm questioning that second coach that's like, "No, you don't have nothing to worry about." Because if that other the third coach is seeing it, what is that second coach not seeing? And of course, he's the third coach. I mean, you know, he's the other coach. He's the predator. But I just want to know what that middle coach did or didn't see or were they like more complicit or they were just that I don't I just think he's a great father figure. James reveals that a trainer at the school had grown suspicious of him, but maintains his innocence for now. Any >> Now, what about this week? What happened this week? >> I don't know. Just I'm there, they come, they hug me. >> Mhm. >> Like normal, and that's it. >> When did you find out something was going on this week with >> I got I got a call Monday night. Tuesday. Monday. Tuesday. >> Tuesday. Okay. Was that from >> the new head coach? >> The head coach. Okay. And how did that conversation? He just said, "Hey, they're doing investigation with you." It's on the girls. >> I'm like, "What you mean?" Like, "I've been like this with >> and just said they're doing investigation." >> Like something was said. Somebody went back and said they're not comfortable around me from something being said, but >> how we talk to them. It's like we're talking to our own kids. So, I don't know if another student probably heard it, thought it was inappropriate and it wasn't comfortable or >> one of the boys maybe like the girls and saw. I mean, I don't know. >> Not sure. So, I want to talk a little >> I'll tell you this in the corporate world just off of that sexual harassment a sexual harassment victim can be someone that's uncomfortable with two other people talking in the workplace about something inappropriate. Now, this is this is adult and minor. So, it's already bad. But I'm just saying though that that still would be something that could get somebody in trouble in a corporate setting. And I don't know what the schools teach about sexual harassment and stuff like that. If someone else, a third party is uncomfortable from overhearing your conversation that had a sexual nature, they still are also a sexual harassment victim. Just throwing that out there. >> A little bit about Okay. So, dealing with her, is there any reason why she might think that you're something more than a coach to her? >> Uncle, maybe? >> Just an uncle. Okay. And when you say uncle, what does that what does that look like for her? Like how do you feel like an uncle or how would she feel like you're an uncle? >> Like she'll hug me and come from the side, hug me and like if she have problems with boys or whatever cuz >> they've called me plenty times about trouble with boys. I don't want to see them get >> taken advantage of >> or just out doing stuff. It is what it is and you know just took getting took advantage of. >> Okay. >> Basically. >> Okay. is has there ever been anything on your end that would lead to believe that you're acting as something other than a family member or a mentor as you describe yourself >> like for Christmas I bought them all Christmas >> okay >> ask them what they wanted cuz >> like and like I bought them what I didn't get them everything I wanted this what they wanted but I told them you want you know sure >> to be that person like >> her parents didn't want to go to her to what a camp in Orlando >> who who's Okay. >> I went with her to the football camp, talked to the coaches for them >> in places, you know, like stuff like that. >> Okay. And have you ever sent any of them money? >> I know you said you bought gifts and they called >> How about moneywise? >> Yes. If they can borrow like half $10 for food or $20 for this or $50 for this or, you know, for food basically. >> Okay. >> I'm like, "Yeah, I got you. I'll feed you cuz that's what we do. I feed. I don't have no problem with feeding. I don't want you hungry." >> Yeah. No, absolutely. And how would that look? Like was that did you give them cash or was it like cash app? Okay, >> I really carry cash on me. >> Okay. Yeah, I don't think anybody does. Yeah, >> I don't even know the last time I even had cash on me. Okay. Um, so like I said, you know, I wanted to talk a little bit about Okay. Cuz there's just some >> and that's that's how they also endear themselves to people. That's it sucks. So if someone's in anything of a lower economic standing, that already makes them vulnerable because that's a that's a prime manipulation space, give you a couple dollars, fill your belly up, get you something you couldn't get, buy you something you couldn't get yourself. That's a that's another danger and it sucks because they hide it behind being um altruistic, but they're just being predatory. >> Some concerns that are go that people have. Okay, >> I can see why. >> Okay. And that's what I was just kind of trying to get from you. Why so much with more than anyone else? Why be concerned? >> I Well, she's the one like if I'm there, she'll come up and hug and stay around. I don't see I go to the weight room. >> Okay. >> But yeah, she's she she always comes up, hugs me, ask how I'm doing, we talk, whatever. And same once if they're working out or whatever, she's going to stop what she's doing, come hug me, and ask how I'm doing. The 43-year-old story starts to unravel as he details giving money and gifts to female students. The detective continues pressing James before this story takes a serious turn. >> Um, and with has there ever been anything that someone would consider inappropriate that's happened you >> maybe like we hug like she'll hug and I guess like from >> any type of kissing or anything like that that someone might see. Okay. Um, I guess how we talk to them. I guess basically that someone heard it. >> Okay. That's why we're here. Um, and like I said, Mr. Ford, I appreciate you speaking with me. >> Oh, yes. >> Right. Um, and when I talk with people, I always, you know, I'm I want to be honest cuz I'm always looking for honesty, right? And I know right now you're not quite being 100% honest with me. I mean, with >> talk to me. We're here for a reason. >> I know. We're both adults. Like we never I mean I've never done nothing with her. >> Okay. Now when you say nothing, what does that mean? >> No sexual stuff whatsoever. >> Okay. >> Um hug and kiss on the cheek like I kiss all of them on the cheek. Like you all right? >> Oh my god. Oh Jesus. And y'all see how this is going. It went from oh no. I don't communicate with them. They text me, which you're texting back. Like shut up. Then it goes to, "Oh yeah, I ask all them what they want for Christmas or um I ask them what they want to eat and I'm I'm texting them this and that." Now it it went from side hugs to hugs like a moonshot. Yep. Being up under him talking, asking about boys and Oh, I give all of them a kiss on the cheek. Right. >> You good? >> Mhm. >> That's >> okay. So, you don't think there's going to be anything or evidence of anything any different >> far as I mean, >> we probably me text me probably text a little more. She'll ask how I'm doing, ask how she doing. Act like I ask all of them. Yeah. You good? I check on them. >> Okay. >> Or whatever. >> Do you ever let anyone else use your cell phone? >> Oh, yeah. I let kids on my phone all the time. >> Okay. >> Yes. >> All right. Um, so and that's what I want to talk about. I wonder is that true that and I know they're probably going to reveal that but I just wonder if that's true. Does he let those kids use his phone because he has no boundaries or is he saying that so he can say oh that wasn't me texting one of the kids had my phone and they were texting that particular message cuz they always try that too >> a little bit about my phone all the time. So >> um is your phone password protected? It is. But once I get there, I open it and because coach, I use your phone. I use my phone. >> Now, James admits to kissing students on the cheek and says he regularly lets students use his phone. Let's continue. >> Okay. So, like when you're at school, you say you unlock your phone and you'll hand it to the kids to use. >> Okay. Is there any reason why maybe they might pretend to be you? >> It's a few boys like it. >> There we go. There we go. That's exact. Okay, she was giving him. Okay, is there any reason they were pretend to be you? And he is taking that bait. He was quick. Didn't he let her finish her sentence? Because he needs a scapegoat. And here he go with the boys liking the girls. So, oh, you know, the little high school boy is jealous cuz the girls give me a hug. So, they just going to make up stuff. No, no, no, no. Again, she's asking questions that she mostly has the answer to. He just doesn't know how much evidence they have yet. But she's asking a lot of questions. She already knows the answer. And from the interrogation videos that we've gotten to watch together, they always start real broad and they start circling closer and closer and getting into what they really have as much as they want, you know, to reveal, but they always have a lot more than the general that they're asking you at the very beginning. Mhm. >> And like they missing like, "Hey, she always run coach Ford. Why do all the girls always run coach Ford?" >> Yeah. Do any of these kids ever take their phone home at night time? >> No. No. No. No. >> Okay. So, that would be like >> Do any of the kids take your phone home at night? Cuz they have messages from you to a minor at at least one minor at the time you're at the house. So, you can't blame that on the kids. They have those messages. like a school hour typical day text. >> Okay. So, you know there's text messages at night between you and now >> got a little screenshot here. It says I then observed a text between James and redacted and it says tell me lol now do you want to come give me a hug and a kiss before I go? Did you leave sitting in my truck? Okay, you fa to come out. We all are. >> I'll take that text. Like I text all the girls. >> Okay. We have to talk about that. >> Okay. That's fine. >> That's why we're here. >> Okay. >> I'm not And I'm not trying to trip you up. None of that. Okay. >> I completely lost >> and I and I think you know where we're at. >> Mhm. Yeah. >> And I just want to know how we how did we get there >> that I don't know >> cuz she's a she's a child. >> I'm being too friendly with them. >> Yeah. >> I'm being too friendly. Like I don't want to say it like I helped with grandmother consent. I helped them pay for her to get an abortion like stuff. >> Oh my god. Oh my god. Now we have graduated to paying to help her get an abortion. Now what would be his motivation to help pay a minor to get an abortion? Lord. Okay. And the text are scrolling and it says almost on your side or almost to your side and then it says Waffle House parking lot and Jay is him because I they say his name is James I think. >> You doing like I'm just too nice and >> yeah that's way too nice. >> That's what I'm saying. >> You put yourself in Yes. >> predicaments and that's kind of gotten yourself into a predicament. >> Yes. And I've never been in no trouble whatsoever cuz I I have all of the text messages >> between you and starting from February of last year. >> Okay. You and I both know what's in those text. >> Police said an interview with the alleged victim uncovered more disturbing details, including that the pair had been texting for about a year. But that's not all. >> Oh, yes. Yes. Stuff. Yeah. Like I've sent her songs and verses and >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> And what else? >> Just I've never sent no pictures. Well, I mean, no. I'm like my birthday stuff and like I sent all the kids, nothing like that, but nothing explicit. >> Okay. >> So, excuse me. Yeah. Okay, take your time. If you need to take a >> If you weren't looking at your screen, they showed a a message that said, "I want to taste you." And then it said, I don't know if it was a comment or uh let me just go back instead just to let y'all see it. Let me see. >> Okay. >> Details, including that the pair. >> Okay. So, the report says there's verbiage of let me taste you referring to oral SCX >> had been texting for about a year. But that's not all. >> Oh, yeah. Yes. Stuff. Yeah. Like I've sent her songs and verses and >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> And what else? >> Just I've never sent no pictures. Well, I mean, no. I'm Well, like my birthday stuff and like I sent all the kids. Nothing like that, but nothing explicit. >> Okay. >> So, excuse me. Yeah. >> Okay. Take your time. If you need to take a drink, you can. >> Oh, okay. What about the sexually explicit conversations between >> Oh, the song versus I shouldn't have. Yeah. >> They're not all song. Listen, I know some songs. Okay. >> Yes, ma'am. >> And they're not all song verses, are they? >> Not all of them. >> Okay. So, talking about, you know, wanting to taste her and >> Well, that was a song verse of Trick Daddy. So, >> okay. >> And and she replied with a no, but I can >> Yeah. I just started laughing. But yes, I shouldn't have said some of the stuff I was saying like even at the school, I shouldn't be saying some of the stuff I be saying because I'm just so comfortable around them. >> Yeah. >> And just >> And what about cuz I think you've developed some feelings for her >> is what it looks like. It's like I said from outside in the text. >> From outside in from looking outside. >> Hey, you're going to take care of her. She's your baby girl. >> Oh, yeah. I call all my baby girls. Like I'm a baby girl. Dad's a baby girl. It's just something I say. >> Okay. I want to talk to you about an incident that occurred at the outside of the Waffle House. You know what I'm talking about? >> What can you tell me about? >> She told me where she was. I went out make sure she was okay. >> Okay. >> Got to go birthday. >> Right. >> You heard that right. James admits to meeting up with the student who told police they had met in person at least twice before his arrest and man and she was talking about my problems and I said you good okay I went up we talked a little bit and she left then when I got home I said are you good you okay want to finish this tomorrow she said no >> okay so during that text message can you take yourself back to that text message to where she to where you you eventually y'all met up you ended up driving to the Waffle House after telling her to go to the Waffle House. >> No, she told Well, I think Yeah. >> Okay. Cuz I think you were at the Waw Wa and then she was somewhere else. Y'all probably like just left school or something like that again. Maybe. >> No, it was a birthday dinner. >> A birthday dinner. Okay. >> So, where was she at at the Waffle House? Like once y'all met? >> Oh, she was parked by a little sign. >> Okay. Did she stay in her car or something? >> No, we got >> Okay. Did she get into your truck? >> Well, no. She um open the door and there like opened the door and sat in like this and got out, came around, talked, gave her a hug, and >> Okay, Mr. Ford, >> I'm asking you to be honest. >> I'm being honest. I mean, we didn't do anything. >> Did she offer to do something to you? >> She And now we're going to read this. So, y'all already have your trigger warning up there. So it says, "I advised Redacted that I was aware she had written a statement about something that happened. Redacted became visibly upset and began to cry. I assured her that she wasn't in any trouble. Redacted stated the football coach, who she confirmed was Ford, had asked her to be his Valentine." And then the two began to talk over text message and on the phone. I'm going to say victim instead of redacted. Victim advised this began after her older brother transferred to Vanguard in January of last year 2024. Victim I can't I say redacted because now it might not always be victim. So Redacted advised her and James then began to see each other outside of school around the beginning of this school year, August 2024. Redacted stated James initially began hanging out with her and her cousin, who she stated was also James' goddaughter. Redacted advised that eventually just her and James would meet up for food at places like Chipotle, Chili's, and Beef Oradies. When asked if anything else happened when just her and James would meet, she stated he would kiss her on the lips. Redacted stated James had also kissed her at school one day inside the locker room. I then asked her I then asked Redacted if anything else had happened between her and James. She began to visibly shake and started crying. Redacted disclosed that sometime in September of last year, she met James at the Waffle House on SR 200 one night. Redacted advised she entered James' vehicle where she performed oral SCX on James. Redacted stated during the incident, James did not have anything on his I'll just say member. redacted denied any other incident of sexual conduct between her and James. >> Not until that to saying it, but I'm >> Mhm. >> She didn't just come out and say whatever, but you can tell like you read between the lines. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. So, at that time in that incident. Okay. Did she perform oral sex on you? >> She tried. She almost did. She almost did. What does that look like? Walk me. Walk me for a second. >> She said, "Okay, let me start it and no." >> Okay. So, would No, like did the act begin and then it was >> It start to begin, but then I had a Yeah, cuz it's I'm like you're a child. >> Stop it. All right. >> And is that would you say that's the only sexual conduct that Yes. >> you had with her? >> Yes. Okay. And then I know we had talked a little bit before about was there some kissing and stuff maybe one time like in the locker room? No. >> Something happened with >> locker room. We never know. We're never alone with those girls in the locker room. >> Okay. >> There's always a coach there with always somebody there. >> The student also allegedly told investigators the two had kissed in that same locker room where James says staff is never alone with the girls. Next, the 43-year-old has some questions for the detective. I cannot Well, I know where this is going with a am I going to get booked for >> you are going to be placed under arrest >> and this is going to be as of for >> it's going to be a sex offense with involving >> it's a minor so I have to register and all that now >> pot it's going to depend on where it all goes now >> but potentially yes sir yeah I'm not going to lie to you >> yeah that's fine um but those my job like I'm going to be be booked all weekend right >> you're so you'll go and you'll have a no bond cuz it's a no it's a no bond initially but when you see the judge in the morning at first appearance the judge will give you a bond at that time >> moments later James appears to show concern for one person's opinion of his alleged crime his mother's >> I don't know if you have ahead >> no my mother well yeah she will now y'all release all this information to her or it's something I would tell her >> I think you should tell her >> okay >> yeah I'm not going to tell your mom you're an adult so you're you know you're a >> Got Your business is your business, right? It's not for me to tell, you know. It's not like you're a child and I'm going to report. >> No, these girls get in any kind of trouble any kind of way. >> What do you think they should get in trouble for? >> God. I didn't think he could get any lower. Let me see how he's about to try to play this. I think he just said, "Is the girl going to get in trouble in any kind of way?" I want to see how he going to play this because if he actually expects her to be in trouble, I didn't I can't I didn't think he get any lower. >> This is your business, right? It's not for me to tell. You know, it's not like you're a child and I'm going to report. >> No, these girls get in any kind of trouble any kind of way. >> What do you think they should get in trouble for? Talk to me about that. >> Basically being inappropriate with me. >> Okay. >> And being >> All right, I'mma say it. This [ __ ] I cannot believe he really just said they should get in trouble for being inappropriate with him. Oh my god. I thought he was going to try to play the concerned father figure still like, you know, oh, they might have misunderstood something that's not and it's still lies. But I didn't I was like, it's no way this this this ninja is about to sit here and say because they were inappropriate with him and he actually did. Oh my god. >> Close. I don't I mean >> No, you're a dad, right? >> That's That's the bad thing. >> You're a dad. >> Yes. >> So, let me ask you this. You said you have a son and he's same age. >> 17. >> 17. >> So, if let's roll reverse. >> I would be. >> Okay. And I'm being I just want you to kind of see it from a different point of view. Would you want your son? Do you think that your son should be held accountable for behaviors when there's an adult that clearly had a lapse of judgment as an adult and in my eyes took it took advantage of a child? >> I see what you're saying. >> Right. So, would it be fair for them to get into trouble? I mean, no, not really. >> Or should have Mr. Ford said, >> "I can't. This isn't This isn't right. >> This isn't right. >> I shouldn't do this." >> Yeah. >> Right. You're a mentor. You told me you're a mentor for kids. >> Yep. >> That's why I'm just wondering what happened. I mean, nice young man. You got a good job. >> And that's what I'm afraid of. Losing everything. >> There's a lot of women out here. >> Yeah. But that's what I'm afraid of losing everything. >> Yeah. which is could possibly be what might happen. My job >> Yeah. I mean, I don't know. >> Yeah. >> You know, it's not not a good situation to be in. >> Yeah. It's not with kids. >> No. >> And I've been coaching in this for years. >> Yeah. So, I know we have your I'm going to end up writing a search warrant on your cell phone. Okay. Um, am I going to find anything else with >> No. >> Any any other juveniles, minors? >> No. >> Nothing else like that. It's going to be anywhere. >> I can go ahead and search it now. No. >> Okay. All right. So, you want to give consent to search your phone? >> My consent means I'm telling you to, but if not, you have a >> Yeah. I mean, you you if you want to sign a consent form, I'll get you signed the consent form and we can do that. If not, we just write a search for a torn on it and go from there. And that'll take how long? >> It depends. It depends on how much data is on your phone. Um, right now it'll be seized as evidence anyway. >> So, >> so >> I'm sorry. Go ahead. No question. So, if I get found out tomorrow, I'm not able to take my phone. >> No, sir. No. >> Now, how would I kind of see what you're saying? >> Yeah. And we'll do this. So, I'll just write a search warrant on it. That way, it's easier. It's, you know, we'll get it knocked out that way. Um cuz it will be held >> pending the case cuz it's it's evidentary, so we can't get rid of it cuz like I said, those text messages >> obviously were coming from your cell phone. Um, from Yeah. From you to her. So, that's just part of the case and that's kind of where we're at right now. >> Okay. >> Okay. Do you need anything right now? [clears throat] >> Excuse me. >> You're good. >> Okay. >> No question. I'm able to call my mother or do I get a call or >> Yeah, you can call your mom and if you want I'll bring my phone in, put it on speaker phone and you can call mom here. It's up to you or you can call her at the jail. >> I mean, am I calling at both places? >> Yeah. Yeah, I'll let you call. Think about it. >> Oh, yeah. Well, I want to call, but I want to talk at >> Sure. >> over the phone. >> Understandably, I do want to call her. >> I'd want to talk to my mom, too. So, >> yes. Yes. I I would love to call her. >> Okay. All right. I'll be right back. James was reportedly fired from his position shortly after his arrest and banned from campus. The detective gives the suspect some time alone before returning to reveal his fate. I'm honest with you and I want you to be honest with me, >> you know, where we're at and unfortunately this is >> where it's at. >> Where it's at. Yeah. >> So hopefully, you know, >> now I have a question like >> I want to get booked now register as a >> So that would be after like if if there's any type of conviction or >> No, say the word. Say the phrase sex offender. That's what you would have to register as. Finish it. You you were able to say all those other words in them text messages. Say it.
