Blue Valley athletic trainer is out following child sexual exploitation charges: School
Blue Valley Southwest High School has assured families that an athletic trainer charged with two counts of child sexual exploitation won’t return to the school.
Christopher T. Poskey, 40, of Olathe, a trainer provided through the University of Kansas Health System since 2014, ia accused of coaxing a child to engage in sexually explicit conduct. He was arrested and booked Friday in Johnson County Jail and is being held on a $250,000 bond.
In an email Friday, Principal Tyler Alexander told families that Poskey was not at school that day and would not return as an athletic trainer. The school said it is cooperating with law enforcement and will continue to update families as information becomes available.
“Please know that we are just learning about this today as well and don’t have any additional information at this time,” Alexander wrote “There are no words strong enough to describe the difficult and serious nature of these charges. “
The University of Kansas Health System said in a statement to The Star Friday night that they were aware of the allegations. The release indicated Poskey had worked for the health system for nine years.
“We have no further details at this point but the health system is processing the news,” the statement said, adding that they would “willfully cooperate with authorities.”
