Maricopa County Attorney Under Fire for Leniency Towards Pedophile Coach

In a harrowing revelation, Kayleigh Kozak has come forward, recounting the sexual abuse she endured at the hands of Joshua Jacobsen, her physical education teacher and soccer coach at Liberty Elementary in Buckeye. The events occurred in the early 2000s when Kozak was merely 12 and 13 years old.

Kozak’s allegations shed light on a troubling incident that has left a lasting impact on her life. Speaking out about her experience, she aims to bring awareness to the issue of abuse in educational settings, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding students.

Jacobsen, who held a position of trust, allegedly exploited his role, leading to Kozak’s trauma. This case raises critical questions about the measures in place to protect vulnerable students from similar predicaments in the future.

As the community grapples with these allegations, Kozak’s courage in coming forward may encourage other victims to share their stories. Such discussions are vital in fostering an environment where accountability prevails, and victims receive the support they deserve.
