The sexual acts with the minors took place between 2005 and 2010. According to court documents, the first victim, 11 years old she took private classes with Juarez, in which he made her “train topless after initially trying to get her to take off all her clothes.” The victim also testified that she sexually assaulted her and then gave her an envelope with money.
Additionally, Juarez sexually assaulted a 14 year old girl and forced another 13 year old girl to perform a sexual act on him, in exchange for the promise of making her the team’s starter. The former coach was also convicted of sexually abusing another 13 year old victim over four years, after he moved into his house.
“This coach was in a position of trust and authority over the young girls and took advantage of them,” said Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer. In that order, he stated that “youth sports should be a safe environmentin which neither parents nor athletes would have to worry about children being the target of a sexual predator.” At the same time, Spitzer applauded the bravery of the young women who testified against Juarez.
