NORTH PHOENIX - A longtime baseball coach has been arrested and accused of molesting teenage boys on his team.
Charles Trask, 58, was arrested Wednesday evening after the parents of two boys brought their sons to police and outlined allegations against him, Detective Tony Morales said. Two boys have been molested for at least six months, and a third was molested for at least a year, Morales said.
"We fear t
ere may be more (victims)," Morales said.
Trask had coached boys 12 to 14 years old in north Phoenix "for some time," most recently with a private league called Arizona Baseball Group,
Mor
ales said. The three victims were between 13 and 15 years old. At least two were on Tras
k's team.
In a confrontation call recorded by police, Trask admitted to having oral sex with one of the boys while two others watched, according to Maricopa County Superior Court records. The records also says Trask paid one boy $20 to perform a sex act and watched pornography with the boys.
The abuse allegedly occurred at the coach's home near Fourth Street and Beardsley Road.
Trask, a self-employed appliance repairman, was booked on suspicion of six felony counts, including furnishing harmful materials to a minor, child molestation and sexual exploitation of a minor.
Police say other victims should call the Crimes Against Children Unit at (602) 534-3200.
