THE WOODLANDS, Texas – A fourth victim has been identified in the case of Juan Corona, a softball coach in The Woodlands known to kids as "Coach Manny."

Montgomery County Constable Precinct 3 Captain Daniel Zientek said Corona may face more sexual assault charges in addition to the seven already on his plate after three victims came forward earlier this year.

The case came to light in January when one of Corona's players told her parents that the coach had given her alcohol.

"At the time, there were two girls in the vehicle that were given alcohol," Zientek said. "When the parents of the girl that came forward shared the information with the other girl's parents is when the other female juvenile told her parents that not only had she received alcohol but that Coach Manny had been sexually assaulting her."

Zientek said evidence corroborating that statement was recovered from Corona's house in The Woodlands, including video and photos.

"Another victim came forward that Coach Manny had assaulted while he was at a previous employer, and the juvenile was a volunteer," Zientek said. "The victim at the time had attempted to make an outcry of the sexual assault but Coach Manny was able to convince people that she was just a rebellious teen and that she was lying. When she saw other victims come forward, she called our agency to report what had happened to her."

Corona, 44, remains in custody at the Montgomery County Jail on a $700,000 bond.
