Roy West: Ripon youth sports coach sentenced for child sex crimes
SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY, Calif. — A Ripon youth sports coach was sentenced to prison for a multi-count child molestation case.
It comes after he was convicted by a jury of more than a half-dozen child sex crimes.
“Today’s sentencing restores a sense of safety for our community and honors the immense courage of the victims who came forward,” said District Attorney Ron Freitas. “We stand with those harmed, fiercely committed to protecting our children and ensuring their voices lead to lasting justice.”
West was arrested in 2019 and accused of child pornography possession after officers served a search warrant on Van Dyen Way for a “wide range of lewd and lascivious acts with a minor.”
West was found in the garage of the home.
