Teacher-coach charged with online solicitation
A Detroit middle school teacher and youth travel hockey coach was charged Monday with attempting to solicit a 13-year-old boy in an online chat room.
Fawkes is a seventh-grade science teacher at Columbus Middle School in Detroit and is head coach of a Plymouth-Canton Hockey Association midget-level (ages 15-16) travel hockey team.
He was charged with using a computer to accost and solicit a minor and with using a computer to disseminate sexually explicit matter to a minor.
"It is particularly disturbing when those who are placed in positions of trust are accused of committing sex crimes against children," Cox said.
It is very disturbing when teachers and coaches of our children are caught trying to solicit our children - Very Disturbing........
