Coach accused of sex with student




A Westview High School teacher and coach facing federal charges engaged in sexual activities with a 14-year-old boy who was a student at the school where he taught and player on the soccer team he coached, according to the federal affidavit.

Stanley Wren Vickers, 44, of Martin, is charged with transporting a minor across state lines with the intent to engage in sexual activity, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Vickers is an economics and government teacher and girls' soccer coach at Westview High School in Martin, according to the school's Web site.

Vickers was arrested Thursday and had his initial appearance in federal court in Memphis on Friday, the news release said. He is scheduled to appear Wednesday for a probable cause and detention hearing. He remained in custody Friday, authorities said.
