Former Tate Coach Serving Six Life Sentences For Child Sex Abuse Pleads To Additional Charges

June 27, 2018

A former Tate High assistant football coach and church youth leader that was sentenced last year to six consecutive life sentences for child sexual assault has entered a guilty plea to the remaining charges against him.

Charlie Maybern Hamrick, 55, pleaded guilty Tuesday to five counts of child abuse and two counts of misdemeanor battery, and he was immediately sentenced to five years in state prison to run concurrent with the life sentences.

According to the State Attorney’s Offcie, the plea prevented additional victims from being required to testify in court.

Some of the abuse occurred at Tate High School where Hamrick performed unauthorized physical exams on male students in a school locker room. He also inappropriately touched a male student at a Cantonment church.

    Charlie should get death for the crime he committed against the young men that he hurt during his sick ways. I know him for many years attending church with him and to see this makes me sick to know that during that time he was doing things to children. I know one thing Tate High School football program is better off today then it was with him involved. And the church can only repair the damage he done there.

    wow, coach, i guess you will be in a place with plenty of like minded types. sad that you could not keep to adults, i’d image quiet village and the bluffs could have found something to your liking in their little community. let this be a lesson to all of your type that roam free in our society that this type behavior is not acceptable
