Coach Faces Charges in Teenage Sex Case
An assistant baseball coach at University High School in West Los Angeles has been charged with two misdemeanor counts of unlawful sexual contact with a 17-year-old female student, the city attorney’s office said Thursday.
The criminal complaint accuses Nestor Martinez, 24, of oral copulation on a minor as well as child annoyance, said Deputy City Atty. Brian Williams, who said authorities had secured a warrant for Martinez’s arrest.
Martinez was an assistant coach for University’s junior varsity baseball team last year and a volunteer coach for the team in the spring, according to a school official who said Martinez is no longer affiliated with the school.
