On Tuesday, November 14, 2017, a Liberal High School administrator contacted the Liberal Police Department regarding an allegation of inappropriate touching of students by a faculty member. Two female student athletes had reported their track coach, Tyson McGuire, had touched them inappropriately at separate times while treating them for sports related injuries. The school placed Mr. McGuire on leave immediately pending investigation of the allegations.
Liberal Police Department investigators commenced an investigation. Following the investigation, an affidavit of probable cause was submitted to the Seward County Attorney’s Office for review of potential criminal charges.
On Thursday, December 7, 2017, Tyson McGuire was arrested without incident pursuant to an arrest warrant filed in Seward County District Court. He was booked into the Seward County Jail for rape and sexual battery with a $50,000.00 cash or surety bond.
