Missing Virginia Coach Wanted on Child Pornography Charges; Team Advances in Playoffs
Virginia authorities have issued an arrest warrant for Travis Turner, the missing head coach of Union High School’s undefeated football team, on charges related to child pornography and solicitation of a minor. Turner is wanted on five counts of possession of child pornography and five counts of using a computer to solicit a minor and is now considered a fugitive. The coach went missing last Thursday as his team prepared for a playoff game, but the team has advanced to the regional final under an interim coach. The investigation is ongoing, and the school division is cooperating with law enforcement while the family requests privacy.
