On Tuesday afternoon, the Estill County High School girls soccer coach was arrested after police say he had sex with a juvenile student.
Kentucky State Police said 28-year-old Andrew Hatton, of Irvine, sent multiple female students sexually explicit photographs and requested photos in return. He also sent a sexually explicit video to at least one female juvenile. Hatton used the social media application Snapchat to communicate with the girls.
A player on the girls’ soccer team reported similar activity by Hatton, and said they had sex as many as five times, according to state police.
Hatton was charged with five counts of third-degree rape, three counts of distribution of obscene material to a minor, two counts of prohibited use of an electronic communication device to procure a minor for sex, and two counts of possession of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor.
He was lodged in the Madison County Detention Center.
According to Estill County Schools officials, Hatton has served as a soccer coach at the school for five years.
