Former GA Soccer Coach Back

From the Georgia Forum II:

"Mark Christensen has been seen on the parent sidelines at the Woodruff Farm complex in Columbus. The scene of the crime back in 1998, an adult soccer match gone violent, that resulted in his felony conviction and prison sentence. Seems he had a child before his departure from GA who is now playing GU10 academy at CYSA. Heard the parents down there are not amused. Another reason to get state cup back in Atlanta."

Re: Former GA Soccer Coach Back

Wasn't he banished from the area by the trial judge?

Re: Former GA Soccer Coach Back

Christensen's banishment period set by the courts has expired. He is free to return to Columbus, Georgia which he has on numerous occasions. Lock up your 14 year old girls!

Re: Former GA Soccer Coach Back

In May 1999, Christensen, then 41, reported to the medium-security Troup County Correctional Institution to spend the next decade. By day, he pumped gas in the auto shop. Many nights, sitting in the dark on a bunk in a barred-window, 30-man dorm, he wrote letters to a 14-year-old girl he had coached the previous season.

He called her "Sexy" and "Sweetie" and "Angel," and told her, "I miss you always," and "I love you very much," and that "I enjoy your silly p.m.s. moods." Write back, he urged her, and "don't worry about being too mushy in your letters."

As well as listing the coaches who should be "caned to death," Christensen wrote: "Their (sic) is one special request I have and you can handle it. I need (2) address (sic): (he names a woman who had testified at his trial) and Robert *snickers* (sic) III (Judge Johnston). Also how close they live to one another."

Re: Former GA Soccer Coach Back

Just read the excerpt from the Detroit News article above. Why would Christensen ask the 14 year old girl , in his letter to her from prison, to find out where the judge who sentenced him lived? Man, that is really crazy and scary!

Michigan connection

Check out the top three posts on the Michigan posts - sounds like M C brother R ick isn't fairing much better . . .

Re: Former GA Soccer Coach Back

wow u guys have no idea. He might have been messed up in the past but now he is not only a great coach, but a changed man as well.

Re: Former GA Soccer Coach Back

That's not what we call a "man" down here when he, a 41-year-old, sends letters like the ones posted below to a 14-year-old girl. We call them perverts. He was in prison at the time when he wrote them. Why did they let him out? These are reposted from the Talking-Soccer Michigan soccer forum:

Letter #1 from MC while in prison to 14 year old girl

April 30

Hi Angel,

I've been thinking about how you
promised me a good picture, maybe even one
of that whole (sexy-body). I really do
thank you for writing, and almost thinking
about what I'am doing. I am sorry we never
did get to run.

I've be following your team, and
you've done great, I would except
nothing less. Your so-so special and one
day I'am going to get a chance to let
you know in person. Playing in Atlanta
would be a good move for you. There's
no one in Columbus who's useful in my
opinion. (R*** I*** Loser)(L****** Loser)
(B**** W*** Loser)(B** K**** Loser)(M** Loser)
These so called men are useless
human's who should be caned to death.
You should be on the "A' Team in Atlanta.
Theirs nothing "B" team about you Sweetheart.

Its true I've been getting mail but
none from you, I know you working
on that I.d. problem. Happy Birthday
Sorry I'am writing in the dark its sloppy!
I have your photo right next to Ashley
on the end of the Bed.

Miss You

I was by hoping by now your mother
could this story on 20/20 niteline.
Please stay out of trouble, and remember
I'am always thinking about you.
Keep the good thoughts and remember
all the good times we had. Work on
that left foot, and those long passes.
I pray you get a chance to
live your dreams. I'll always be
their for advice if you need. Just drop
me a line, and don't worry about
being too mushy in your letters.

Stay special, and don't let your
ego run to wild. Again nice job
at H******* this season I'am
proud of you. I'am glad you care!

Love you

M ark
See you soon

Hi Sunshine

Super! I won't take credit for your
success because its all you baby. Remember
bibb city the first time your mother carried (you)
to training. I always felt you were special.
Sometimes my guess is excellent. Boy! you
look so sexy in that picture in shorts.
I'am sure by the time you get this letter
you will have made the lightning squad.
Smart move to get away from Columbus (CYSA).
Really glad you took some time to write to me
and don't think you need a reason to drop
me a note, even if its just to say something nice.
I do owe you a big hug and kiss for even
thinking about calling me. Thanx
Whats the summer look like for you, any
plan's yet? All-Chattahoochee mama that's
surely you. However their are a few big
misprints on the list, M**** H***, Moose L****,
M**** W*****, must be kidding. Funny thing the last
time I remember even looking at the news/sports
R. L*** was on the highlights she let the ball
go right thru her paws, playoff game they lost.
I really do miss you very much and wish
we had spent more time together.
Again/Nice job/Tan looks good

Please stay away from the bad elements
you know what I'am saying. No trouble!
We both don't need problems!!

I would love to tell you prison is treating
me better but that just won't be honest.
Its very dangerous, and many gang sex
rapes, which you don't need to hear about.
This place really blow's big time, thugs everywhere
and the stories I have for you, are just
unbelievable to say the least.

Well your my 1st choice for Rookie of
the Year. And Most Valuable Person as well.
You will be very good at serious business
soon. And don't underestimate your true
capabilities. Their is one special request I
have and you can handle it. I need (2)
Address: M*** J*** L*** -- (Judge) Robert *snickers* III
Also how close the live to one another!
Thank You very much Sunshine, I Love You
very much and always wonder about you.
Stay safe and clean! Promise Me that
Miss you Sweetie
Good luck
Love ya

Hi Sweetie,

Glad you could write me, it
really made my day. I really miss you!
So soccer camp was good, glad you went
since I'm a little busy now anyway.
I think you should play in P******** or
the B-Team in F*********** you'll show
them you belong with the best because
your the Best. Great players can
play anywhere on the field, except maybe
goalkeeper, so be well rounded, Sexy.
I'm sorry I couldn't prepare you for
tryouts. I'am Sure you would have
been selected. Your very good sweetie!

Nobody can replace you, your so
special, all the kids I've coached over
the years you have just touched my heart
and I always regret no spending
more time with you. When I leave here
I will have some hours open for you
if your not too very busy. Maybe then
we can have that long fun & talk.
Send me a number where I can call
collect if you want. I miss you always
This place is safer and food is a little better
Sorry I haven't been their for your nightly calls.
We will be together soon

I really did enjoy watching you
play basketball. Even better that one on one
game you beat me at, please take
it easy on me. You don't owe me
anything, but I would love to have
those dinners with you. I enjoy
your silly p.m.s. moods always.

Your soccer for the future may be a
little tricky for awhile so hang in their.
Columbus has nothing to offer sweetie.
It would be nice if you stayed
in touch and feel free to ask me anything
its our business ok. If you have
a left foot I really need to see you
in action thats for sure. I look forward
to that day! I don't have time to
write as often to my friends, because
I work all day. However I will
write you back always I promise.
If though your a big cheat and
two timer. I really miss that
pretty face, and happy smile. Stay out
of trouble please and pray for my release.

Would you like to visit some time?
Stay Special Honey

All my Love 4-ever, any new pictures yet?

I love you, ***
Remember that everyday!

God Bless
