LANCASTER \u2013\u00a0 Detectives from the Sheriff\u2019s Special Victims Bureau are investigating allegations of sexual abuse by a youth soccer coach in the Antelope Valley area.<\/p>\n

Renoir Valenti<\/strong>, a 50-year-old White male, has been an American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) soccer coach and referee for more than 16 years in the Antelope Valley. He coached teams that included 9-14 year old boys.<\/p>\n

Valenti became the subject of an investigation in July 2012 when the mother of a 9-year-old boy reported that her son had been molested. This incident was not related to Valenti being a soccer coach.<\/p>\n

Over the course of the investigation, detectives identified two additional boys under the age of 15, who were soccer players, who had also allegedly been molested by the Valenti.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s investigators believe Valenti used his position as a soccer coach as a method to meet and befriend children.<\/p>\n

Valenti was arrested by Sheriff\u2019s detectives, on Monday, August 6, 2012, at his residence in the 42900 block of 59th Street West in Lancaster.<\/p>\n

Two days later, Valenti was charged with two counts of felony continuous sexual abuse of a Child and two counts of annoying or molesting a child.<\/p>\n

Valenti remains jailed on $1 million bail. His next court date is Monday, August 20, 2012 at the Antelope Valley Courthouse.<\/p>\n

Sheriff\u2019s detectives are seeking the public\u2019s help in identifying possible victims and\/or witnesses.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information is asked to contact Sgt. Brian Hudson of the Sheriff\u2019s Department Special Victims Bureau at 877-710-5273 or SpecialVictims@lasd.org<\/a><\/p>\n

If you wish to remain anonymous, call \u201cLA Crime Stoppers\u201d at 800-222-TIPS (8477).<\/p>\n
