Former KIPP D.C. Key Academy Teacher Pleads Guilty To Sexually Abusing 14-Year-Old Student

U.S. Attorney Jessie K. Liu announced Monday a former Maryland teacher admitted to sexually abusing a 14-year-old student during the 2004-2005 academic year.

Forty-seven-year-old Alan Wade Coleman of Gainesville, Florida previously pled guilty in Montgomery County, Maryland, where he lived when he was sexually abusing the student.

Coleman engaged in sexual acts with a female student at his apartment in Takoma Park, when she was 14 and 15 years old. He would drive the victim to Maryland from a location near or at the KIPP School, according to court documents.

Coleman also engaged in sexual acts with the victim in his vehicle on several occasions. He remained in a relationship with the victim until she was 19.

Coleman’s sentencing hearing is scheduled for December 14 in Montgomery County.
