Moore Coach Charged With Second-Degree Rape Involving Student

A Moore Public Schools coach has been charged with second-degree rape, accused of engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a student.

Court documents stated that Jennifer Hawkins had been in a sexual relationship with a student from 2017 to 2022.

The student sent a letter to Moore Public Schools staff, discussing the relationship they had with the coach and when it began.

When the district received the letter, several staff members met with Hawkins to discuss the details of the letter.

Hawkins initially denied being in a relationship with the student, but then admitted that she made a mistake before saying she had in fact been in a sexual relationship with the student.

In an interview with the student, it was stated that they would go over to Hawkins’ house several days a week, and the relationship began when the student was 16.

Hawkins has been charged for second-degree rape and sexual battery.

Moore Public Schools released the following statement on Jan. 27 after learning of the relationship:

Moore Public Schools recently learned of an allegation of inappropriate contact between an outside athletic coach and a student that occurred in the past. We immediately contacted the Oklahoma City Police Department, and a report was filed. The coach was immediately released from their duties.

The safety and security of Moore Public Schools’ students and employees is our foremost concern. MPS school officials will continue to assist law enforcement in their investigation of this matter.
