Rancho Santa Margarita, California – On Wednesday, March 26, investigators from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department’s Special Victims Detail arrested Ronnie Gamez,  in the city of Laguna Niguel for lewd acts on a minor stemming from an incident in early March 2014.

Parents of the victim found inappropriate communications between their child and Gamez, and reported the incident to law enforcement. The inappropriate sexual relationship allegedly began in February 2014 through March 2014.

Ronnie Gamez,27, Laguna Niguel, is a soccer coach associated with several south Orange County club organizations.   Gamez’s position as a soccer coach for U11, U13, and U17 girls’ soccer may have provided him access to additional minors who may have been victimized.
