Travis Turner’s alleged victim has broken her silence.

Virginia high school football coach Travis Turner remains on the run amid accusations of child pornography. And his alleged victim has finally broken her silence.

The child in question said they did not immediately realize they were a victim and was made to feel like they were the problem.

Turner, a coach and physical education teacher at Union High School, vanished from his home on November 20.

Police were en route to his Appalachia residence when he took off into a heavily wooded area with a gun. He has not been seen since.

The authorities charged Turner with 10 counts of child pornography and solicitation of a minor three days later.

Meanwhile, the Wise Board of Education held a meeting on Monday night during which members of the public were allowed to speak on the matter for the first time.

The Kingsport Times-News reports that one parent read a letter allegedly written by the victim.

“I am a victim of exploitation by a teacher in this county,” it stated. I did not feel like a victim… I felt like I was the problem. I felt like I had embarrassed the school, damaged the reputation of the coaching staff and disrupted something I was supposed to protect instead of myself.”

The alleged victim also praised the way a certain administrator handled the matter.

“Thankfully, under a different administrator my situation was handled promptly and professionally by immediately notifying the appropriate authorities,” they added.

The child’s grandfather also spoke during the meeting. 

“I’m proud of my granddaughter,” he remarked. “You as a board need to make some hard decisions … what she did probably saved some other children.”

One resident claimed the school questioned the alleged victim without her parents being present, leading to angry locals confronting school officials on their handling of the case.

Virginia State Police, the FBI and the Marshal’s service remain on the hunt for Turner. They have placed a bounty on his head.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
