LONDON, Ky. (WYMT) - One former Southern Kentucky middle school teacher and basketball coach was sentenced to more than 20 years in prison for online enticement of a minor.
According to his plea agreement, from August 2023 through February 2024, William Goodson, 32, persuaded one minor to engage in sexual activity while he was teaching at South Laurel Middle School.
Goodson exchanged many sexually explicit messages with the victim via Snapchat and SMS.
When questioned, Goodson told police his relationship with the minor was like that of a boyfriend, and he further admitted to buying the victim gifts and communicating each day through Snapchat.
Goodson convinced the victim to engage in sexual contact in the classroom he taught in on multiple occasions.
Following his release from prison, Goodson will be under supervision of the U.S. Probation Office for 20 years.
