SANTA ANA, Calif.—A 48-year-old former Orange County girls basketball coach was sentenced to 150 years to life in prison on Sept. 6 for sexually assaulting six of his players over several years.
Carlos Francisco Juarez was convicted on July 18 of 21 felony counts related to sexual assaults on four girls, but jurors also heard evidence related to two other alleged victims who testified to bolster the prosecution’s claim of a pattern of targeting, grooming, and attacking girls.
