'Life coach' arrested in Franklin for identity theft and sex crimes

FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — A man who promoted himself as a life coach is back in hot water for alleged identity theft and sex crimes.

Gordon Grigg, 61, was arrested Wednesday in Franklin and is being held on a $1 million bond.

Investigators said Grigg marketed himself as a life coach to make contact with victims.

These allegations come 15 years after Grigg was convicted and sentenced to prison time for his involvement in a ponzi scheme that cost dozens of investors more than $6 million when he also told victims he was a life coach.

In addition to the prison time in that case, Grigg was ordered to pay restitution to the tune of more than $6.1 million.

Longtime breakfast tradition continues for friends who met through Big Brothers Big Sisters mentorship

This is a beautiful story of chosen family, proving a father figure doesn't have to have biology in common to make a difference in a child's life. The story of De'Andre and Alex will remind you that our relationships help determine the course of our lives. And that being supportive of someone - through a meal, a shared experience or even swim lessons can make all the difference.
