A man from Laguna Niguel, who is known to coach various girls’ soccer teams across Orange County, has been taken into custody on allegations of committing lewd acts with a minor. This incident was reported by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department on Thursday.
The coach, identified as 27-year-old Ronnie Gamez, is alleged to have maintained an inappropriate sexual relationship with the minor from February to March of this year. Following the discovery of concerning communications between Gamez and the minor by the child’s parents, authorities were alerted, leading to an investigation.
Given Gamez’s role as a coach for Under-11, Under-13, and Under-17 girls’ soccer teams, law enforcement is concerned there may be more minors who have been affected. They are currently seeking assistance from the public to identify any additional victims.
Gamez was apprehended on Wednesday and is being held at the Central Men’s Jail with bail set at $100,000. His initial court appearance is scheduled for Friday. Official inmate records indicate that he was arrested on March 21.
The Sheriff’s Department is urging anyone with information that could assist in this case to contact their Special Victims Detail at 714-647-7419. Anonymous tips can also be submitted through OC Crime Stoppers by calling 855-847-6227 or visiting their website at occrimestoppers.org.
