VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A former Tallwood High School assistant track coach pleaded guilty Monday to multiple child sex crimes involving a 14-year-old athlete under his supervision.
Isaiah Carter, 25, pleaded guilty to custodial indecent liberties, carnal knowledge of a minor, two counts of production of child pornography, and use of electronics to procure a minor for obscene material.
