Greensboro, GA - A former Greene County High School football coach has been arrested after state investigators say he physically assaulted multiple players during the 2025 season.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced that 34-year-old Darius Terrell Robinson of Union Point was taken into custody Tuesday and charged with two counts of aggravated assault and one count of simple battery.
Allegations Span Fall 2025 Season
According to the GBI, Greensboro police requested their assistance around 12:30 p.m. on December 9 after learning that Robinson allegedly hit and choked several members of the high school football team between September and November.
Robinson was booked into the Greene County Jail, where he remains pending further court proceedings. The agency said its investigation continues and urged anyone with knowledge of the incidents to contact its Milledgeville regional office.
School Officials Respond
The Greene County School System confirmed it has been working with investigators since the allegations first surfaced. District leaders said Robinson was removed from his position and placed on administrative leave prior to the arrest as both the school and law enforcement carried out separate reviews.
“The safety and well-being of our students remain our first and highest priority,” Superintendent Dr. Aaryn Schmuhl said in a statement. He added that school administrators took “immediate action” once the complaint was filed and will continue cooperating with authorities as the investigation moves forward.
Georgia Abuse Lawyer Explains Legal Options for Students Alleging Assault by Coach
Amid growing concern over reports of student-athletes being harmed by those entrusted with their training, Georgia abuse lawyer John Bey shares how families can respond when a coach crosses the line into physical abuse. Bey shared practical steps victims can take, from reporting incidents to law enforcement to exploring civil claims that may hold both individuals and institutions accountable.
Laurence Banville, Esq.: When young athletes report being physically attacked by a coach, what steps can families take to protect their rights?
John Bey, Esq.: The first step is ensuring the students’ safety—removal from the situation and immediate reporting to law enforcement. From a legal standpoint, families can pursue civil claims for assault, battery, and emotional distress. These cases can also involve the school district if there’s evidence of negligence in supervision or failure to act.
Banville: Can victims take legal action even if a criminal case is pending?
Bey: Yes, absolutely. A civil claim is separate from the criminal process. Victims don’t need to wait for a criminal conviction to file a lawsuit seeking compensation for injuries, therapy costs, or long-term trauma.
Banville: What advice would you give parents right now?
Bey: Document everything—medical visits, school reports, and any communication with authorities. Those records become critical evidence if a family decides to move forward legally.
