An educator and coach at Medina Independent School District, Bradley Love, has been arrested on allegations of an improper relationship with a student, according to Kerr County jail records. Love, who served as a teacher and head basketball coach at Medina High School located at 1 Bobcat Ln, Medina, TX 78055, was taken into custody Saturday, June 14, 2025. He was released the same day after posting a $50,000 bond, according to KSAT.
Medina ISD confirmed Love’s arrest in a statement, noting that he began working for the district in August 2024. The statement emphasized that the district is cooperating fully with law enforcement in Kerr County as the investigation unfolds.
While Love’s current employment status remains unclear, the district’s staff directory continues to list him as the head basketball coach. Records from the Texas Education Agency reveal that Love is not a certified teacher in the state.
A 2017 graduate of Tivy High School, Love played basketball before continuing his athletic career at Schreiner University. He majored in Exercise Science and was listed as a guard for the university’s basketball team from the 2019-20 season through 2021-22.
The arrest of Love has left many in the Medina ISD community grappling with questions. As the investigation progresses, the district and law enforcement are expected to provide further updates.
When allegations of teacher misconduct arise, many victims and their families face uncertainty about their rights and next steps. Anjali Nigam, a Texas attorney with extensive experience handling sexual abuse cases, explains the legal options available to those affected and how the law can hold both individuals and institutions accountable. Her legal perspective sheds light on the pathways for seeking justice and support in these difficult situations.
Editor Darla Medina: What legal steps are available for students or families who believe they have been harmed in cases like this?
Attorney Anjali Nigam: Victims of teacher misconduct have several legal options. They can pursue a civil lawsuit against the perpetrator for damages, including emotional distress and counseling costs. Additionally, if the school district failed to take preventative measures or ignored warning signs, it might also be held liable under certain circumstances. Criminal charges, of course, are handled by law enforcement, but civil cases allow victims to seek compensation for the harm they've suffered.
Medina: What role does the school district play in these cases, and how could their actions—or inactions—impact the outcome?
Nigam: School districts have a responsibility to ensure the safety of their students. If they knowingly hire unqualified staff or fail to act on reports of misconduct, they could be found negligent. Investigations often examine the district's hiring practices, training programs, and response protocols. Families should consider consulting legal counsel to determine if any lapses occurred.
Medina: For families unsure of how to proceed, what would you recommend as a first step?
Nigam: It’s important for families to document everything—emails, reports, or interactions with school officials. Then, seek legal advice as soon as possible. Attorneys experienced in these matters can guide them through both the legal system and the emotional recovery process.
