MIAMI (WSVN) - A prominent South Florida high school football coach is being investigated for allegedly viewing inappropriate content on a school computer.
Video obtained by the Miami Herald showed Miami Jackson Senior High head football coach, Max Edwards, watching pornographic content on a computer while in a classroom.
A student captured the cellphone video.
The stunning video spread like wildfire amongst students.
“He was watching porn in the middle of class. A lot of people were like looking at videos of it and it just spread quickly because it was a video leaked about it,” said 10th grader Kenneth Sosa
Edwards is a well-known figure in high school sports and one of the most successful coaches in South Florida in recent years.
Before becoming the head coach at Miami Jackson in January Edwards led Miami Northwestern to three consecutive state championships from 2017 to 2019.
Contrary to his stellar record, students are shocked to learn about his actions.
“I heard that the coach was good so I didn’t really expect it from him,” said Sosa.” But I know it can ruin the school’s reputation.”
Miami-Dade County Public Schools released the following statement:
Miami-Dade County Public Schools is disturbed by the allegations made regarding concerning behavior involving an employee at Miami Jackson Senior High School. The individual has been removed from the school site pending the outcome of an investigation. At this time, we cannot provide any further comment.
