Michael Burks
Michael Burks, 29, of Whitehouse, who has worked as a Bishop T.K. Gorman Catholic School girls' basketball coach, was arrested Friday on a charge of sexual assault of a child, according to jail records.
The allegation against Burks relates to an alleged relationship with a non-Gorman student, according to information from Gorman.
Smith County Sheriff's Lt. Larry Wiginton said Burks turned himself in to authorities Friday on the charge and was placed in custody. The veteran officer said Burks and the girl had an ongoing relationship, and it was not a case of a predator and an unwilling victim. "It was a consensual relationship with a lot of text messaging, a lot of conversations and they met in a couple of different places, including Whitehouse. We are still investigating at this time," he said. Wiginton said that, although the victim was a "willing participant" in the relationship even though it was against the law.
