A former Irvin High School girls track coach arrested last month 
is accused of having sex with a 16-year-old girl at his home and 
at a park, according to court documents.

Bryan Everett Stewart, 34, was arrested in Kansas and extradited 
to El Paso, where he faces two counts of improper relationship 
between an educator and student.

When questioned in May during an investigation by El Paso 
Independent School District police, Stewart allegedly admitted 
having a relationship with the girl but denied having sex with 
her, according to complaint affidavits obtained by the El Paso 
Times.

The documents filed by EPISD police alleged that Stewart and the 
girl had a relationship during the 2017-18 school year.

Stewart was a health teacher and the girls track coach at Irvin 
High School.

The girl, who is not named in the documents, was a student at 
Irvin who has since transferred to another school.

Began flirting
According to the complaint affidavits, the girl told a forensic 
interviewer at the Child Advocacy Center that it all began with 
Stewart flirting with her in August 2017.

The girl was at the book room at Irvin High when Stewart 
"approached her and complimented her on how nice she looked," 
the complaint states.

"The two of them flirted with each other during the school year" 
and Stewart convinced the girl to join track, the complaint 
states.

Documents state that the two became friends on Facebook, 
exchanged phone numbers and would text message each other, with 
Stewart suggesting they use a communication app named Line.

The complaint states that Stewart and the girl flirted and sent 
photos to each other. The girl said told the interviewer that 
Stewart sent her shirtless photos of himself and that she sent 
him photos of her wearing only a bra. No nude photos were shared.

The girl told the interviewer that the encounter occurred around 
March. EPISD police determined the incident took place April 7 
when Stewart's family was in California on April 6-9.

The girl told investigators that she and Stewart allegedly had 
sex a second time, this time after a track meet in his truck 
parked at Nations Tobin Park on Railroad Drive, documents state.

An EPISD police investigation determined the second sexual 
encounter occurred on April 10 after the District 1-5A track 
meet.

Documents mention that EPISD police learned of the allegations 
on April 19 and began an investigation. An EPISD spokesman said 
Stewart resigned from the district on April 20.

Stewart is the son of Leon Stewart, a former longtime football 
coach at Irvin.

Stewart denies allegations
The complaint states that Stewart "denied the allegations and 
refused to cooperate with EPISD District Officials."

In a May 24 video-recorded interview with EPISD police, Stewart 
denies having sex with the girl. He admitted taking her to his 
home but claimed they only hung out, documents state.

Stewart also admitted to being with the girl at Nations Tobin 
Park but denied having sex and again claimed they only hung out, 
the complaint states.

The complaint alleges that Stewart contacted the girl on her 
cellphone from an unknown number after she had left Irvin High 
School.

Stewart allegedly asked the girl to lie to police about them 
having sex and "advised the victim that she would only get in 
trouble for lying but he would go to jail," according to the 
complaint.

When questioned by EPISD police, Stewart claimed that he had not 
had any contact with the girl since the investigation started, 
the complaint states.

Arrest in Kansas
A warrant for Stewart's arrest was issued July 24. A few days 
later, the U.S. Marshals Service learned that Stewart had left 
El Paso and had gotten a job in Kansas.

Stewart was returned to El Paso after being arrested Aug. 9 
during a traffic stop on a Kansas highway while U.S. Marshals 
were on his trail.

Stewart is currently free on a $50,000 bond after being released 
from the El Paso County Jail on Sept. 1. The case is pending in 
court.
