Killeen coach pleads guilty to assaulting a minor during college visit in Tulsa
A Killeen private track coach pleaded guilty to transporting a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity during a college visit in June 2017, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Oklahoma.
Retired Sgt. 1st Class Kerry Sloan, 56, of Harker Heights, admitted that when he drove the victim from Killeen to Tulsa for meetings with college coaches, he intended to engage in sexual activity with the victim without her consent at a Tulsa hotel, according to U.S. Attorney Trent Shores in a news release. Sloan also admitted that he ultimately did sexually assault the victim, Shores said.
Northern Oklahoma U.S. District Judge Claire V. Eagan accepted Sloan’s plea Tuesday and scheduled his sentencing for June 26.
After a 911 call was made on Sloan’s return trip, the vehicle the two were traveling in was stopped by Pittsburg County Sheriff’s deputies, who rescued the victim, according to Shores news release.
