Authorities said he has been giving private lessons at the South Montgomery County Softball League. In some cases, Corona would pick up the children from school and take them to their lessons, Zientek said.

Another victim that come forward said Corona sexually assaulted her while Corona was at a previous employer and the juvenile was a volunteer there, according to the release.

This victim attempted to notify others of the accused sexual assault at the time; however, Corona told people that the victim was just a rebellious teenager and she was lying, according to the release. When this victim saw that others had come forward, she called investigators to make a report, according to the release.
