Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety, Sunnyvale, Calif.
A youth sports coach has been arrested on suspicion of the rape of a student at a Sunnyvale middle school where he taught in 2009, public safety officials said Tuesday.
The 61-year-old suspect was arrested Monday in connection with the alleged sexual assault of a student at Cupertino Middle School, according to the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety.
The man retired from teaching three years ago but was still a volunteer softball and basketball coach at Fremont High School in Sunnyvale at the time of his arrest, public safety officials said.
He was booked into Santa Clara County Jail on suspicion of aggravated sexual assault of a child, forcible penetration with a foreign object and forcible penetration with a foreign object upon a child.
Sunnyvale DPS initially misnamed the suspect in a press release issued Tuesday morning.
The Department of Public Safety is asking anyone with information about the case, or who may have also been a victim, to call Detective Mary Cayori at (408) 730-7100.
