Max Edwards, a Florida high school football coach, has reportedly been suspended for watching NSFW videos in a classroom at Miami Jackson Senior High School.
According to CBS News, the outlet obtained exclusive footage of Edwards allegedly watching a pornographic video while in “the presence of at least one student” at the high school. Additionally, the student reportedly recorded the footage of Edwards using their cellphone.
Per the outlet, Edwards is a “well-known figure” at the high school and previously taught at Miami Northwestern Senior High School for a decade.
Furthermore, the outlet notes that the Miami-Dade School District has released a statement in response to the shocking, now-viral footage. Additionally, the district revealed the current disciplinary action toward Edwards.
“Miami-Dade Public Schools is disturbed by the allegation made regarding concerning behavior involving an employee at Miami Jackson Senior High School,” the district asserted via a spokesperson. “The individual has been removed from the school site pending the outcome of an investigation.”
Per CBS News, it remains unclear whether Edwards “could face criminal charges.” At this time, neither he nor his family have reportedly responded to the outlet’s request for comment.
The alleged incident involving Edwards is not the only one to make recent headlines in the Sunshine State. As The Shade Room previously reported, earlier this month, a 14-year-old boy pled guilty to sexually assaulting a 91-year-old woman.
Subsequently, he was charged with sexual battery and burglary.
