Former wrestling coach arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting Ventura County students
The Ventura County Sheriff's Office arrested a former wrestling coach for allegedly sexually assaulting students.
Deputies first arrested 72-year-old Ronald Wilson on May 16 for several sexual assault related offenses. He was initially released from custody after posting a $120,000 bail. However, after his court hearing on July 10, detectives arrested him once again after additional victims told investigators Wilson had sexually assaulted them while they were students, according to the VCSO.
Wilson is being held at the Ventura County Main Jail without bail after the additional allegations.
The Ventura County District Attorney's Office charged Wilson with 12 felonies related to the three alleged sexual relationships he had with students.
The alleged abuse dates back to 1990. The former student of Oxnard High School reported the abuse after Wilson's arrest in May, according to prosecutors. The Ventura County district attorney said two other alleged sexual abuse cases happened at Camarillo High School between 2014 and 2017.
Wilson's new arraignment hearing is scheduled for Sept. 9. He's being held on a $390,000 bail.
Detectives believe that there are still additional victims who have not been identified. They urged anyone with information regarding the investigation to contact Detective Rico Rinaldi at (805) 384-4732 or by email at Rico.Rinaldi@Ventura.org. Callers can remain anonymous.
