I thought you would all be interested in what your head football coach, jason robinson, thinks is appropriate visual material to send to my daughter, a former student. Bear in mind that this is a 33 year old man with responsibility for teaching young, impressionable minor students. He is twice divorced and the father of a 10 year old. Their rrelationship goes back to 2008 before she graduated from Mandarin High School, before this man was even divorced from his second wife, whom you may rememberer, as she was a teacher and coach at mandarin as well. Many of you will remember my daughter, [Redacted by KnightNews.com]. She was 19 years old when he sent these to her.
I apologize for the graphic nature of the video, try to imagine my shock and dismay when I first became aware of it.
I find it ironic that this man talks of class, character, and commitment on your football home site, as he exhibits none of these traits. He is engaged in a manipulative and exploitative relationship with a young woman who until not long ago, was a student of his. He has gone to great lengths to keep this relationship secret, coercing my daughter into silence with the threat that he might lose his job.
This matter is under investigation by the Duval County School Board and the Florida Department of Education.
Sincerely
[Redacted by KnightNews.com]
