A well-known high school football coach in South Florida is under investigation for reportedly accessing inappropriate material on a school computer.
According to footage obtained by the Miami Herald, Max Edwards, the head football coach at Miami Jackson Senior High, was seen watching explicit content on a classroom computer. The video was recorded by a student using a cellphone. “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,” a 10th grader named Kenneth Sosa stated.
