A former worship pastor and volleyball coach from Fort Worth communities is reported to be involved in youth sports and is allegedly abusing young men and adults.

Before starting his volleyball coaching, Edward Struble served at Second Baptist Church in Houston, Texas, and later at Birchman Baptist Church in Fort Worth.

While he was known for his leadership in church music and youth ministry, Struble reportedly divorced a few years ago and has stated that he is gay.

Despite his church background, Struble has been accused of sexually abusing teen boys and adult men.

Around 2026, Amy Smith, a well-known advocate for abuse survivors and founder of the Watch Keep blog, reported that Struble was involved in the sexual abuse of children.

One former youth group member from Idlewild Baptist Church shared their experience publicly in 2026, stating that Struble’s behavior was predatory.

Despite the numerous accusations reported from his past, there remains ongoing concern regarding Struble’s involvement with youth.

Recently, Watch Keep media shared a post regarding Edward Struble, claiming that he is still involved in youth sports in Fort Worth.

This is not the first time the blog has reported accusations against Struble; however, his continued involvement in youth sports has raised concerns in the community.

The post claims that Edward is currently working as a sports coach for the Dallas Independent Volleyball Association.

With an accused sexual predator reportedly involved in coaching, Watch Keep Media has drawn attention to the situation to raise awareness in the community.

Previously, a Houston police report accused Eddie Struble of stalking and sexually abusing teen boys and adult men.

While no official actions have been taken regarding Edward as of now, and no new official reports have been issued, members of the community have expressed concern.
