Travis L. Turner, a football coach who vanished just before his team’s playoff game, is now facing serious criminal charges. Virginia State Police announced Turner is accused of possessing child sexual abuse material and using a computer to solicit a minor. The charges stem from an investigation separate from his disappearance, which had initially sparked concern for his well-being and speculation surrounding his unexpected absence from the highly anticipated game. The details of the alleged crimes remain limited, but the allegations mark a significant turn in the public perception of the previously respected coach.
