The girls, who were all coached by Carlos Francisco Juarez, ranged in age from 11 to 17 years old at the time of the assaults.
A former Southern California basketball coach was sentenced to 150 years in prison on Wednesday in the sexual assaults of four girls he coached more than a decade ago.
"This coach was in a position of trust and authority over these young girls and he took advantage of them," Spitzer said."Youth sports should be a safe environment where neither parents nor athletes should have to worry about children being targeted by a sexual predator."Spitzer commended the four women who came forward, praising their bravery for helping put"another child molester" in prison.
A different 13-year-old girl was subjected to repeated sexual abuse from Juarez over the course of four years after he moved in to her home. The fourth victim in the case was 14-years-old and taking basketball lessons from Juarez in 2008, when he also assaulted her.
