The victim told sheriff’s investigators that he was repeatedly molested by his skating coach at the coach’s Hacienda Heights home, when he was between the ages of 12 to 15.

Suspect Vincent was arrested on felony child molestation charges at his home in Torrance on January 11, 2013. He is currently incarcerated with a bail set at $1,000,000.00.
