A Clark County School District teacher has been apprehended by the Henderson Police Department amidst allegations of illicit sexual conduct with a pupil; teacher Anthony Coffield, 35, now faces serious charges. News 3 LV reports that Coffield's arrest on November 26 came as a culmination of a month-long investigation, a joint effort with the Clark County District Attorney's office, which has led to charges including sexual assault and conduct between school employees or volunteers and a pupil.
There is currently no indication from investigators of additional victims involved in the case Coffield was booked into the Henderson Detention Center after his arrest. According to News 3 LV, the investigation into the matter had been thorough, articulating a clear intent to hold any and all perpetrators within the educational setting accountable for their acts.
Providing clarity on the situation, Green Valley High School officials sent a letter to parents, confirming an employee's arrest and setting a firm boundary against the accused stepping foot on campus again, as noted by FOX5 Vegas. "An employee assigned to our school was arrested by the Henderson Police Department on charges related to an inappropriate relationship with a student," Principal Kent Roberts detailed in the letter, emphasizing the school's priority on student safety and commitment to aiding law enforcement.
The principal's correspondence also informed parents of the school's limited knowledge outside the scope of the police investigation where officials at Green Valley High School are not privy to further details beyond those shared by law enforcement, but the principal reassured parents that the school would fully cooperate with the investigation, ensuring that the community was kept abreast as the situation develops.
