CCSD teacher charged with sexually assaulting student makes court appearance
Summary
Anthony Coffield, 35, a Green Valley High School teacher, made a brief appearance Tuesday in Henderson Justice Court after being formally charged with sexual assault and related offences. His attorney, David Brown, waived the reading of the charges before Justice of the Peace Sandra Allred DiGiacomo.
A criminal complaint filed shows Coffield faces two counts of sexual assault and one count of a school employee engaging in a sexual act with a pupil 16 or older. A bail hearing is scheduled for Monday; online jail records show he remains in custody at the Henderson Detention Center after his arrest on 26 November.
Henderson Police said the arrest followed a monthlong investigation coordinated with the Clark County district attorney’s office. Green Valley High’s website previously listed Coffield as a performing arts and theatre teacher, though his name has since been removed from the current staff roster.
