On March 5, 2025, officers from the Pulaski Police Department were dispatched to Kids City USA following reports of child abuse. A press release, along with information from a local news outlet, confirmed that charges were promptly filed against 52-year-old Erica Monique Coleman, a resident of Pulaski, for Simple Assault on that same day.
In the wake of the initial complaint, Investigator Jordan Ramsey initiated a thorough follow-up investigation to determine if there were additional victims associated with the case. As the investigation progressed, Investigator Ramsey discovered multiple victims who had experienced similar incidents involving Ms. Coleman. Given the serious nature of the allegations, General Brent Cooper convened a special session of the Giles County Grand Jury to address the findings.
During this session, Investigator Ramsey presented her comprehensive findings, which led to the Grand Jury issuing nearly 200 counts against Ms. Coleman. These charges included Assault, Child Abuse, Aggravated Assault, Attempted Aggravated Assault, and Attempted Aggravated Child Abuse. Subsequently, on April 24, 2025, Ms. Coleman was taken into custody and transported to the Giles County Jail. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities continue to explore the matter further.
