A seventh-grade teacher at Cecil Gray Middle School in Groveland, who also coaches swimming at South Lake High School and at the National Training Center in Clermont, has been charged with sodomy of a child and three other sex crimes in Kentucky, Hopkins County Jail officials said.
“The school district is currently moving to terminate his contract,” Chris Patton, public information officer for Lake County Schools, said of Samuel Yardley Hann, 24. “He has been employed by the school district since March. He was on a probationary period.”

Hann is a Kentucky native who was hired in 2011 as a teacher at Browning Springs Middle School in Madisonville, the county seat of Hopkins County, a coal mining region in the western corner of the state. He also served as the middle school’s head football coach and as the head swim coach at Hopkins County Central High School for the past two years, according to Channel 14 News in Evansville, Ind.
Details of Hann’s arrest were unavailable but jail officials said he was booked into the jail on Monday and released Tuesday on $5,000 bond. The other charges were use of a minor under 16 in a sexual performance, possession of matter portraying sexual performance by a minor and possession of an electronic device to procure a minor.
This spring, Hann, also known as “Coach Sammy,” moved to Florida and was hired as a seventh-grade math teacher at Cecil Gray Middle. His profile page there said he was named South Lake’s head boys’ swim coach, while South Lake’s website just lists him as an instructor.
However, the NTC website lists Hann as an assistant volunteer coach there who “recently accepted the head boys’ swim coach position at South Lake High School.” At the NTC, Hann is helping the facility develop its “competitive age group” program, its website states.
