Tuesday, a Lubbock County Grand Jury formally indicted a former teacher and coach with the Lubbock Independent School District (LISD) on a charge of child sexual assault.
Jeremy Maxfield, 41, was arrested in August by U.S. Marshals in Amherst, according to jail records. He was initially charged with three counts of sexual assault of a child and one count of an improper relationship between educator and student. A fourth charge of sexual assault of a child was later added.
On Tuesday, the grand jury indicted Maxwell on that fourth charge.
Lubbock ISD said Maxfield was a track coach and English teacher. Court records indicated the crimes happened in October, November and December of 2019.
Maxfield’s charges stems from a months-long investigation that began in April 2024, when a former student came forward with allegations of abuse.
Court documents stated Maxfield “engaged in sexual intercourse on numerous occasions while [the victim] was under the age of consent.” Court records said Maxfield maintained regular sexual communication with the victim, who was under the age of 17. Court documents detailed sexual contact that occurred in Maxfield’s classroom and on school grounds. According to court records, Maxfield exchanged “numerous” nude images with the victim on his phone.
Lubbock ISD can confirm that Jeremy Maxfield is no longer employed by the district. In April of 2024, we were notified that a former student made claims that they had an inappropriate relationship when she was a student. The district immediately placed him on leave, fully cooperated with law enforcement officials, and notified the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC). Jeremy resigned in June of 2024.
