A Tooele High School assistant football coach is on unpaid administrative leave and will soon be fired after he was arrested last week in a Salt Lake City prostitution sting, a school district official said Thursday.

Mark Lyne Jackson, 39, was one of several dozen people arrested Aug. 23 during a weeklong prostitution operation by the Salt Lake City Police Department. Jackson allegedly ”arranged with an undercover officer to pay cash in exchange for sex acts,” according to a Salt Lake County jail booking statement.

Jackson is the third football coach from Tooele County School District to depart under controversy in recent months.
