Polk County deputies arrest Lakeland High coach on sexual battery charges against a student
Sheriff’s office deputies arrested a Polk County high school track coach accused of sexually battering a 16-year-old boy.
During a news conference, Sheriff Grady Judd shared details of the case. He said the man they arrested was 40-year-old Jarvis Young, a track coach at Lakeland High School. His victim had told his mother that Young had touched him inappropriately on Saturday, Aug. 26. Per his mother’s advice, the student then reported Young to the school resource deputy.
Judd added that when deputies investigated, they determined that Young had sexually battered the boy. Amid the investigation, Young reportedly fled the state of Florida. As the investigation went on, deputies determined that Young had once admitted to them that he was HIV positive.
“I didn’t stutter,” Judd said at the news conference “He tried to have sex with a child knowing he was HIV positive.”
