Hi,
I've been contacted by a detective wanting to speak with me in regards to text messages I sent to an athlete I coached this spring. The parents of the girl reported it to the school and the school found no wrong-doing on my part. They said I crossed a professional boudary, told me not to do anything like that again, but no further action was taken. I'm assuming that the parents have now gone to the police, to try and take criminal action against me. I did nothing more than send a few text messages, none of which were sexually explicit. The police want me to call them on Tuesday, but I'm obviously scared. Is it at all possible I committed a criminal offense, simply by texting a student? Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your assistance.
