LA VERNIA, Texas — A little league softball coach has been charged for indecency with a child, and investigators with the Bexar County Sheriff's Office believe there may be more victims.
48-year-old Tracy Garibay, a coach in La Vernia, was arrested after investigators say he sent incriminating messages. A post by BCSO said he "had assaulted and was involved in an inappropriate relationship with" an underaged victim.
"This next case is a pretty heartbreaking case, an infuriating case to be honest with you," Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said. "We initially got the call that there was something suspicious going on between Mr. Garibay and a 13 year old, a female that he had access to by virtue of his position as a softball coach."
"Through the course of the investigation we found incriminating text messages between the 13 year old and Garibay that indicated there was some sort of relationship going on," Salazar said.
"During the interviews with the victim we found that there was inappropriate contact between Garibay and the 13 year old victim, and so our fear is that Garibay, because of the position that he held, as a little league softball coach, there may be other victims out there," Salazar said.
"It's possible that there's not, but it's also quite possible that there are so we're asking anyone with information on Garibay, anybody that might have a funny feeling, anybody that there may be something that we need to know about, they can call us at 210-335-6070," Salazar said. "We'd love to hear anything that they might have to say."
