Goodyear, ARIZONA

Feb 5, 2008 - Susan Anderson, 28, a Desert Edge High School girls' coach, has been arrested on suspicion of having a sexual relationship with one of her students over the past year. Anderson also is a first-year fitness teacher at Centerra Mirage Elementary School.

Police say a family member became suspicious and contacted police. Detectives say there could be additional victims. Police believe the relationship started when the girl was just 15-years-old.

KPHO: Police said by her own admission Anderson preyed on victims due to their vulnerability. Police said their investigation into the alleged, one-year-long relationship led them to intercept and retrieve messages on myspace.com that contained information that indicated that a sexual relationship may have taken place.

Investigators said they also obtained phone records belonging to the coach and victim that revealed the pair had been engaging in multiple, hour-long conversations daily since December 2007. Officers also found thousands of text messages between the two during the same time period.

The victim said there were three to four incidents where Anderson had given her a ride home and that they had engaged in sexual contact, according to court documents.
