could face life in prison<\/a>.<\/p>\nJones was working as a football coach and security guard at American Senior High School, located at 18350 NW 67th Ave. in the county\u2019s unincorporated County Club neighborhood, when he began having a sexual relationship with a student, according to the warrant.<\/p>\n
The warrant states that the victim was 17 at the time and participating in the school\u2019s football program in August 2012. Deputies said she was working in the athletic office on the football team\u2019s schedule under Jones\u2019 supervision when Jones entered the office, turned off the light and approached her.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe subject picked the victim up from the chair, kissed her and pinned her against a wall\u201d before raping the student, according to the warrant. <\/p>\n
The warrant states that the victim \u201cwas in shock and froze\u201d when the sexual assault occurred. <\/p>\n
Deputies said the student and Jones subsequently had \u201cconsensual\u201d sexual intercourse three more times at the school before she turned 18.<\/p>\n
They said that after the student turned 18, she and Jones began having consensual sexual intercourse at her home and developed a relationship while she was still attending high school.<\/p>\n
The warrant states that Jones worked at the school from 2007 through 2019 and was involved with the school\u2019s football program during the alleged incidents.<\/p>\n
The Miami-Dade County jail website did not list Jones as an inmate as of Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
MDCR told Local 10 News in a statement that Jones has since been \u201crelieved of duty pending the outcome of the investigation.\u201d <\/p>\n
