Sexual assault has been really huge in the media as of late, and it doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon. It is being reported that an undocumented Texas man has been accused of sexual assault.
According to FOX News Latino, Marcos Ramos, a soccer coach in Texas has been arrested after being accused of sexually abusing eight of his players. The victims are between the ages of 10 and 15.
Ramos, a Corsicana, Texas resident, is also reportedly wanted in his native Guatemala for sexually assaulting children police officials reveal. He currently faces three counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and five counts of indecency with a child.
The site reports that he has actually been fooling many people for years. According to FOX 4 Dallas, investigators have found that Ramos has worked under assumed names. U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement have placed an immigration hold on Ramos.
The station reported that the group of players that has accused the coach is now about two years older than at the time of the abuse, police say. One of the older kids came forward and persuaded other boys to speak out about Ramos, police said.
Police say that Ramos fled Central America and entered the U.S. illegally, first settling in Houston, where he coached the boys’ soccer team.
Ramos reportedly lived across the street from the middle school and close to the team’s practice field. He only coached recreational teams, never for a school.
Houston has issued an arrest warrant for aggravated sexual assault charges. But he’s facing more charges in Coriscana, where he’s coached recreational soccer for the past four years.
A woman who lived next door to Ramos who has a 15-year-old son and requested anonymity told Fox4 that she took Ramos to the store last Christmas to help him buy gifts for his team.
“It breaks my heart, because that could have been my kid,” she explained.
