High school coach in Orange County arrested for sex crimes

A Southern California high school coach was arrested after a mother discovered what police say were “inappropriate text messages” between the teacher and her underage daughter. Police believe there may be other victims involved.

Aaron Raya, a track and football coach and substitute teacher at Godinez High School in Orange County, was arrested for contact with a minor with the intent to commit a sex crime, Santa Ana police said on Facebook Sunday.

According to police, Raya, 28, allegedly messaged the girl on social media to discuss athletics events. Immediately after the girl graduated, he allegedly made sexual advances to her and tried to arrange a meeting.
