Mom nearly beats child’s football coach to death over molestation allegations

Lakeshia Richmond

A Tennessee mother faces criminal charges after she nearly beat a kids’ football coach to death with a baseball bat over claims he molested her sons.

Lakeshia Richmond, 27, of Memphis, admitted she took the law into her own hands when her boys, aged 8 and 9, told her they had been groped by their coach Tony Massey.

“I asked them ‘Did he touch you bad, did he touch you down there?’ and my little boy said ‘yes’,” Richmond told reporters, “and I said ‘was it just you?’ and he said ‘no, it was some more kids’.”

Within an hour of being told this information, Richmond saw the little league football coach walking alone in Memphis on Saturday. “When I see him, I see my kids being hurt and that’s all I see,” she told WREG-TV.
