A Madison County grand jury indicted former Canton High School Track Coach O'Keefe Henderson in March for sexual battery of a student. The indictment states:
On or before the 17th day of January, 2023, in the county aforesaid and within the jurisdiction of this Court, the said Defendant, a human being above the age of eighteen (18) years, whose date of birth is March 2, 1981, did willfully, unlawfully and feloniously engage in sexual penetration with C.C.J., a female child under the age of eighteen (18) years of age, whose date of birth is November 6, 2006, while the Defendant was in a position of trust or authority over C.C.J., to-wit: the track coach at C.C.J.'s school, in violation of Miss. Code Ann.§97-3-95(2) (1972, as amended), and being against the peace and dignity of the State of Mississippi.
Circuit Judge Dewey Arthur set the defendant's bond at $50,000. Judge Arthur scheduled Henderson's trial for August 6. Henderson is no loner employed by the Canton Public School District.

Cut his dick off and give him 50 lashings. No reason to waste money incarcerating scum like this.
How old was the girl? If she is 16 or above there is no crime. Our society has gone insane. These little fast ass girls no exactly what they are doing.
Read the post, sicko.
she could've been 18 and it wouldn't matter because he was a teacher and in a position of authority over her
As soon as the 'school choice' advocates win and Canton-Separate students and staff move toward Madison County schools, this is the sort of behavior (one among many) you can expect to penetrate the Madison system.
Couple that with JPS scholars choosing to cross into MadCo schools and the system will be destroyed.
Then along come the slow-thinkers who favor consolidation and you have the same result with MadCo consolidating with Canton-Separate.
Attendees, their parent, employees, the administration and the combined behavior of all four are not accidental in these poor-performing districts. It's cultural, ingrained, systemic and a way of life.
Don't slam me too hard, Kingfish.
@9:07 why does that make me a sicko? she was almost 17 years old. Probably been having sex since she was 12. Don't lie to yourselves.
People used to get married at 12. The human body was made to reproduce about that age...
So grown ass men cannot be expected to resist the urge to have sex with "little fast ass girls" and the teen is the problem?
Spoken like a true incel that is mad he cant get a female to look at him.
Oh really, Don? This don't happen at the white schools? Like at Germantown High two years ago? Or the white softball coaches at Ridgeland? Or that teacher at New Summit?
9:28, from the information in the post she was two months past her 16th birthday. You’re saying you wouldn’t mind your daughter that age sleeping with a 40+ year old teacher? God help you, God help us…
I believe the name of the crime with which he is charged is "sexual battery."
@10:16... I am not saying I condone it. I am saying it takes two to tango. She knew EXACTLY what she was doing and probably was not a virgin.
Coach Henderson is a good Christian man that would never do this. Please reserve judgement until we have all the facts. Let the coach have his day in court.
I’m certainly not condoning his actions but have to agree that many of these young ladies, black and white, know exactly what they are doing. Not all but many. Any male teacher has to realize what he is risking when he succumbs to the young ladies charms.
Savannah Reis - also a Madison County School teacher.
I agree that these tarts know what they are doing, 11:12.
And like you I also agree that it is up to the grown ass man to have one ounce of self control.
I'm not one of those bonkers women's lib types, and I think some of these young girls probably do go after these men for sport.
That does not change that I expect the grown adult/teacher to be the one to say no. How hard is that? My god.
We talk about the lack of accountability and self control all the time these days with kids.
Based on the comments some men are still struggling with that concept too.
Haven't the Democrats recently instructed America that we are now supposed to believe that virginity is a construct of white supremacy and racist repression?
Who can forget this hit from the JJ archives. Most of the Black Caucus voted against HB #151.
Don Drane, you're right. And Madison's idiotic decision to fill its parks with sports facilities, will help help attract exactly the element who'll ruin the schools.
I'm sure those facilities are there, to gain points for "Best Communities" awards, but really: is getting top awards still worth it?
Out of control track coach! Head up the ass administrators! I know there were signs! Nobody says nothing until it gets this far.
Playing around with students you will get locked up! Must be a role model and not one of the cool teachers.
Seventeen will get you twenty...
QUESTION: Will hedge fund operators ever stop stealing money and will teachers ever stop sleeping with their students? ANSWER: NO.
It’s only a crime because he was in a position of trust. Perfectly legal (not moral) if he wasn’t a coach or teacher. And,obviously, that’s a good law that makes sense. But the sentencing should fit the crime. Way different if he banged a 6th grader.
I think that’s the issue. It’s not a legal issue because that’s clear. It’s a legislative issue. If he picked her up at a bar, it would be legal.
There should be some statutory guidelines here. For example, if the teacher is 22 and the student is 17…it should still be a crime because of position of trust. But, should it require registration? Um, no. Should it require prison? No. Should it prevent the teacher from ever being licensed to teach or supervise minors again? Yes.
Teachers and students having love affairs is not a new thing. My high school football coach was a 60 yr old man. His wife taught at our school too. He got caught having an affair with a 16 yr old student. He had to resign really fast. He didn't get arrested and ended up coaching not far from my hometown.
This was in 1985.
The Vjj has taken down MANY A GOOD MAN. Young, in between and old.......
The mistake this guy made was not saying NO and beating a trail to school administration before the girl did.
Unless there is DNA evidence its she said he said.
This crap has been happening world wide since Lassie was a pup.
The "Me Too" movement has made it even worse.
“having love affairs is not a new thing”, let's call this what it is, sex.
“This was in 1985.”, so that makes this alright? The focus is only on the legality of this behavior. Where is the moral outrage that should be raining down condemnation on this scandalous activity?
When wrong is not condemned, you continue to have more and more of such activities.
" If he picked her up at a bar, it would be legal. "
So a 16-year-old is ok to drink at a bar and there's no consequences? Where did you say you went to law school again?
“On or before January 17“ covers every day in history before January 18, 2023. Sloppy.
For a 16 year old, "foolish," "impulsive," and "lack of self control" are part of the job description. Not so much for adults and certainly not for a teacher or other school personnel (JPS obviously excepted). A 16 year-old student offering sex is a completely different class of wrong from a teacher accepting it. Yep, 16 year-olds should suffer appropriate consequences for what they do wrong, and so should 40 year-old teachers. There really can't be any serious argument that he didn't know it was illegal to screw students regardless of their age, apparent maturity, or willingness. And strawtart arguments about hypothetical 15-going-on-28 Lolitas knocking back cocktails in nightclubs has no application in these student-teacher cases - he knew she was a student.
What happened with the case at Germantown High?
Was it quietly dismissed and hidden away? That's what I hear.
