As a Memphis, Tennessee attorney that has sued both the Memphis City School System and the Shelby County School System on behalf of students alleged to have been sexually coerced by adult male teachers, I wanted to bring this news to you.
Sherwood Middle School in Memphis is down one coach after 27-year-old Arlen Wilburn was accused of sending nude photos and having sexual contact with a minor student. According to court records, Wilburn sent the girl naked photos of himself via text and asked her to do the same. She told police the two later had sex inside the school.
Coach Wilburn was suspended from the school district without pay. His bond was set at $75,000 although prosecutors requested a $500,000 bond.
