J425 broke the story of football coach/teacher serially abusing a student trainer… Minor victim showed police where the assaults occurred…Willis was linked to DNA found on carpets, pled guilty.
MUKILTEO, WA — Almost three years ago, J425 broke the story that Julian Willis, then 33, a popular Kamiak assistant football coach and substitute teacher — was sexually abusing a student trainer during lunch breaks and between classes on the high school campus — a series of crimes against a minor girl that had been ongoing for a period of months without stop.
Now, after Willis was convicted of a sex crime against the student and sent to jail for ten months last year, an OSPI filing reveals that Willis will never teach again.
The Washington Superintendent of Public Instruction’s revocation notice confirms that the Mukilteo superintendent reported Willis’ misconduct to the state in June of 2023, as required by law.
The information is included in a final order (see attached, below) permanently revoking the education certificate of former Kamiak High School substitute teacher Julian Willis. The notice was recently posted on the OSPI internal website.
The revocation order, dated July 8, 2025, ensures that Willis is barred from future practice as an educator and is permanently prohibited from applying for certificate reinstatement.
See below for the signed order (attached in full), the case file and information from Willis’ guilty plea, including details on the multiple sexual assault allegations Willis fled across three western states; a claim by a patient in a rehabilitation facility that Willis raped her when he was working as an orderly at the facility; and new details
