San Mateo County Coach and Teacher Arrested Over Alleged Sexual Abuse of a Former Student

A coach and teacher employed by the Cabrillo Unified School District in Half Moon Bay, California, has been arrested on suspicion of sex crimes involving a former student who was a minor at the time, Crime Voice reported on August 20, citing the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office.

According to the outlet's summary of the sheriff's office account, detectives opened the investigation in early August 2026 after a woman came forward for the first time to report that she was sexually assaulted in 2008, when the 61-year-old man was her coach. She told investigators that a sexual relationship began roughly a year later, when she was 16, Crime Voice reported. Detectives obtained an arrest warrant after the report, and the sheriff's office said it connected the woman with community resources and support, according to the outlet.

The allegations reported by Crime Voice are accusations only and have not been proven in court. The full account of the arrest and the sheriff's office statement is available at Crime Voice.
