A 47-year-old Fontana man who has been a girls’ softball coach was arrested for allegedly having sexual relations with a 12-year-old girl, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
Word reached the sheriff’s department that the coach had engaged in a molestation that included attempted forcible sexual penetration with a foreign object. In short order, the suspect was identified as Joel Sanchez Madrigal. On November 26, deputies from the Fontana Sheriff’s Station arrested Madrigal at 14462 Oak Knoll Court in Fontana and booked him on charges of unlawful contact with a minor to solicit sex, unlawful lewd acts with a child under 14 years old with force, and a sexual offense against a child under 14 years old.
The five-foot-six-inch, 300 pound, 47-year-old Madrigal was placed into protective custody at West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga. He was initially held in lieu of $120,000 bail, and was released on November 27 with the posting of bond.
Deputies released Madrigal’s booking photo on the belief there may be additional victims who might have come into contact with him in his capacity as a girls’ softball coach.
