A former youth soccer coach in California recently learned that he will spend nearly two centuries in prison for the ongoing sexual molestation of a child over a period of roughly seven years.
Magana’s trial was held over the summer. The defendant maintained his innocence and pleaded not guilty to each count against him. Ultimately, Ventura County jurors found him guilty on all counts.
The Oxnard man previously coached for the American Youth Soccer Organization, according to the DA’s office. On Sept. 7, 2022, he was convicted of five counts of unlawful acts on a child 10 years of age or younger, four counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child, and seven counts of lewd acts on a child under the age of 14.
The crimes charged were committed against the same minor victim. Two other alleged victims testified during his trial.
