Part 3/7:
Less than a week after his disappearance, authorities officially revealed that Turner is facing serious criminal charges. On November 25th, Virginia State Police obtained a warrant for his arrest, accusing him of possessing child pornography and using a computer to solicit a minor. The charges include five counts of child pornography possession and five counts of using electronic means for solicitation.
The allegations have ripple effects beyond just Turner; an employee within the Wise County Public Schools district, which oversees Union High School—Turner’s coaching ground—was placed on administrative leave. However, neither the school district nor police have disclosed the identity of this individual or specifics about potential victims, raising questions about the scope of the case.
