LANCASTER [CA] – Detectives from the Sheriff’s Special Victims Bureau are investigating allegations of sexual abuse by a youth soccer coach in the Antelope Valley area.
Renoir Valenti, a 50-year-old White male, has been an American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) soccer coach and referee for more than 16 years in the Antelope Valley. He coached teams that included 9-14 year old boys.
Valenti became the subject of an investigation in July 2012 when the mother of a 9-year-old boy reported that her son had been molested. This incident was not related to Valenti being a soccer coach.
Over the course of the investigation, detectives identified two additional boys under the age of 15, who were soccer players, who had also allegedly been molested by the Valenti.
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s investigators believe Valenti used his position as a soccer coach as a method to meet and befriend children.
Valenti was arrested by Sheriff’s detectives, on Monday, August 6, 2012, at his residence in the 42900 block of 59th Street West in Lancaster.
Two days later, Valenti was charged with two counts of felony continuous sexual abuse of a Child and two counts of annoying or molesting a child.
Valenti remains jailed on $1 million bail. His next court date is Monday, August 20, 2012 at the Antelope Valley Courthouse.
Sheriff’s detectives are seeking the public’s help in identifying possible victims and/or witnesses.

I’d like to know how many boys became gay or willingly submitted out of curiousity or whatever....and will never come forward to tell on their soliciter....because they’re all screwed up...and like it that way.
This one caught my attention. This dude is NOT a white male.
Hispanics are now listed as white. This, IMO is to muddy up the crime statistics so the progressives can shield the real data on crime.
As for me, I never put myself in a position of being alone with a kid.
Even if I visit a store, I go to the restroom and the only person in there is a kid...I walk out immediately.
When the kid walks out, I go in.
I would expect the numbers to be considerable, there is a reason so many kids who were abused grow up to be gay....it's a coping mechanism, a way of telling themselves that what happened to them wasn't so bad, after all.
Don’t apologize.
“Even if I visit a store, I go to the restroom and the only person in there is a kid...I walk out immediately. When the kid walks out, I go in.”
I was going to call you paranoid, until I realized that all it takes is one accusation and your life is turned inside out. I’ll take your words into advisement.
Just because of liability, I do not like to transport other peoples kids to games, activities not to mention the possibility of being alone for a brief period with someone elses kid.
No no no.
