A former high school and middle school coach in Laurel County has been arrested on several child sex-related charges.
On Saturday, the London Police Department arrested 31-year-old William T. Goodson, of London, and charged him with first-degree sexual abuse, procuring/promoting the use of a minor by electronic means, unlawful transaction with a minor (illegal sex act, victim under 18), and use of a minor under 18 in a sexual performance.
Goodson, according to The Sentinel-Echo, was previously listed as an assistant coach of the South Laurel High School girls basketball team and as a coach at South Laurel Middle School.
He resigned his position with the school district in late February when a joint investigation was launched by the London Police Department and Laurel County Schools Police Department, according to WLEX.com.
Goodson was lodged in Laurel County Corrections where he’s being held on a $75,000 cash bond.
