From Locker Room to Courtroom: Lockhart ISD Faces Questions After Coach’s Arrest

The arrest of former Lockhart ISD coach Aaron Aguilar has led to a federal lawsuit that questions how the district handled student safety. Aguilar, taken into custody in April on a charge of sexual performance of a child, is accused in court filings of grooming and abusing a junior high student over two school years.

The lawsuit argues that Aguilar’s conduct was made possible by failures inside Lockhart ISD — from inadequate background checks to poor staff training and what the filing describes as a “dysfunctional” Title IX system. It also points to earlier cases of educator misconduct as warning signs the district allegedly overlooked.

What began in the locker room has now moved into the courtroom, leaving the Lockhart community to confront whether the district fulfilled its duty to protect students.
