Ex-Park Tudor coach to plead guilty in student sexting case
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Former Park Tudor coach Kyle Cox has agreed to plead guilty to having an inappropriate relationship with a student.
Cox was charged with trying to entice a 15-year-old female student into a sexual relationship. He resigned from Park Tudor on Dec. 15 before the investigation was opened and he was arrested.
As part of the plea agreement, Cox will be sentenced to 10 to 14 years in prison. He will also face at least five years of supervised release and be required to pay restitution to the victim and her family, according to court documents.
Court documents state Cox used Snapchat under the username “Bigsilkysmooth” to exchange videos and images with the girl. Content was also shared over Instagram and in text messages.
He’ll be required to register as a sex offender.
The investigation into Cox was first brought to light in early January after a search warrant was served at Park Tudor. The investigation continued until Cox was arrested on Feb. 4.
The girl’s father found out about the alleged relationship and went to the school with his findings.
Court documents allege that the school’s attorney and now-deceased headmaster failed to notify authorities until three weeks later when the search warrant was served.
On Feb. 12, Park Tudor hired a second lawyer to conduct an investigation.
