Parker youth soccer coach arrested on suspicion of sex crimes

Police arrested a Colorado Rapids Youth Soccer coach last week on suspicion of child sex crimes.

Juan Carlos Hernandez, 40, faces four counts of sexual assault on a child, pattern, from a person in a position of trust and two counts of aggravated incest, according to a news release from the Parker Police Department.

None of the allegations involved league players, according to the program’s executive director.

Authorities arrested Hernandez on Friday, the release says. Police are asking parents to come forward with information about potential further crimes the suspect may have committed, or if he had inappropriate behavior their child.

The youth soccer organization sent an email to families with children in the program about Hernandez’s arrest Tuesday afternoon, emphasizing its commitment to safety in light of the incident.

“Our club follows strict safety protocols, including comprehensive background checks and child-protection training, and we are committed to maintaining the highest standards,” wrote Aaron Nagel, executive director of the program, in the email.

Nagel added that the alleged conduct took place years before Hernandez joined the organization and are unrelated to the youth soccer community.

The probable cause affidavit for Hernandez’s arrest provided by the Douglas County Court did not actually list any probable cause for his arrest. It only noted that both police and a 23rd Judicial District Judge Alisha Coombe had determined there was enough information to detain him.

Those with information about possible Hernandez crimes are asked to contact Det. Dawn Cashman at dcashman@parkerco.gov or 303-805-6527.
