Coach Under Fire

A man convicted of fondling two teenage girls is coaching a girls’ soccer team, and both the district attorney’s office and league officials say their hands are tied, the San Francisco Examiner reported.

The volunteer coach, Rafael Siero, has instead threatened a defamation suit against the victim’s mother who complained about his coaching role.

Contra Costa County senior deputy district attorney Bob Kochly, who’s familiar with Siero’s record, said there’s “nothing that legally prevents Siero from contact with young girls or boys,” because his record has been expunged.
