SANTA ANA – A youth sports coach was sentenced today to 13 years and six months plus an additional 285 years to life in state prison for sexually assaulting 11 of his students, whom he met through his coaching jobs.
Luis Alberto Pineda, 31, Anaheim, was found guilty by a jury Nov. 5, 2012, of 17 felony counts of lewd acts upon a child under 14, two felony counts each of sodomy by force, sodomy of a person under the age of 16, oral copulation of a minor under 16, lewd acts upon a child, one felony count each of oral copulation or sexual penetration with a child 10 years old or younger and attempted lewd act upon a child under the age of 14 and three misdemeanor counts of simple assault and sentencing allegations for substantial sexual conduct with a child and committing lewd acts on multiple victims.
Between 2005 and 2010, Pineda was a martial arts assistant instructor at Moo Yea Do Martial Arts in Fullerton and was also a soccer coach for the North Orange County Youth Soccer Premier League. Pineda met his victims through these coaching jobs and, during that time, Pineda befriended the parents of the victims and arranged to watch over the students after practices or games.
Pineda molested 10 boys and one girl after practices, games, or while taking them out to go to the movies or have dinner. Pineda sodomized and orally copulated a 14-year-old male student outside a Fullerton business while taking him home after karate practice. Pineda forcibly sodomized an 11-year-old male student while driving him home from soccer practice. On several occasions, Pineda fondled and masturbated his victims over and under their clothes. On one occasion between Dec. 25, 2007, and Dec. 24, 2008, Pineda sexually touched 9-year-old Jane Doe between her legs and put his hands down the inside of her shirt and pants.
The sexual assaults were initially reported to the Fullerton Police Department and then transferred to the Anaheim Police Department, who investigated the case.
During the sentencing today, two of the victims and one mother gave impact statements to the court. The mother said that her son continues to suffer emotionally from the damage Pineda caused and that Pineda betrayed her and the families of all of his victims. The Honorable Richard King, who sentenced the defendant to the maximum sentence, said, “Rats don’t do this to their children. Vultures don’t do this to their children.”
If he were ever to be released, Pineda’s lifetime sex offender registration bars him from entering County recreational areas and City parks which have passed the Sex Offender Ordinance.

Karate Coach Accused of Molesting Young Boys
Police say during subsequent investigation "we have found three more boys who were on the team who were victims so, based on the length of time he was coaching soccer and karate certainly there's a strong possibility there will be more victims"

Luis Alberto Pineda of Anaheim was charged Monday with four felony counts of lewd acts on a child under 14 with sentencing-enhancement legations of substantial sexual conduct with a child and committing lewd acts on multiple victims, according to the Orange County District Attorney's Office.
A 29-year-old soccer and karate coach charged with molesting two 8-year-old boys is expected to be charged with molesting three other boys when he is arraigned next month, authorities said Wedensday.
Luis Alberto Pineda of Anaheim was charged Monday with four felony counts of lewd acts on a child under 14 with sentencing-enhancement legations of substantial sexual conduct with a child and committing lewd acts on multiple victims, according to the Orange County District Attorney's Office.
Pineda was an assistant instructor at Moo Yea Do Martial Arts in Fullerton for about six years before coaching the Fullerton Eagles of the North Orange County Youth Soccer Premier League, according to prosecutors.
Pineda met the two boys while coaching the soccer team, which practiced at Woodcrest Elementary School in Fullerton and Sycamore Junior High School in Anaheim, prosecutors said.
Pineda is accused of gaining the trust of the boys' parents while he was their soccer coach and karate instructor between Sept. 1 and Oct. 30, 2009, according to the District Attorney's Office.
Pineda allegedly took one boy to the movies and fondled him, sexually assaulted the other boy many times and masturbated both victims, according to prosecutors. Pineda was arrested by Anaheim police Aug. 5. Pineda is expected to face additional charges for the three other alleged victims when he is arraigned Sept. 2, according to the District Attorney's Office.
``During subsequent investigation we have found three more boys who were on the team who were victims so, based on the length of time he was coaching soccer and karate certainly there's a strong possibility there will be more victims,'' Anaheim police Sgt. Rick Martinez said.
``So we're hoping the parents will speak to their kids and see if anything inappropriate took place and if so please call our detectives.'' Anyone with more information on the case is asked to call Anaheim Detective Sal Enriquez at (714) 765-1972 or Orange County Supervising District Attorney Investigator Randy Litwin at (714) 347-8794.
