Tomas Vargas Arrested: Assistant Basketball Coach Admits To Teen Sex Charges (VIDEO)

Basketball Coach Arrested On Teen Sex Charges

Tomas Vargas, an assistant basketball coach at Tony Hillerman Middle School in Albuquerque, N.M., was arrested on Tuesday for forcing a student to perform sexual acts on his players, according to KOAT7.

In an incident that happened on Jan 6., a 14-year-old female student went into an office and asked about a manager position with the team.

Police said that Vargas, who had three players with him, told the student that "she needed to perform oral sex on the players to get hired."

Vargas, 19, reportedly pushed a table into her after she refused, making her unable to leave the office:

Officers said she told them Vargas grabbed the back of her neck and forced her head into one of the player's laps until she broke free.

Police said Vargas bonded out of jail and faces charges including false imprisonment and attempted criminal sexual penetration.

Vargas admitted to everything in court and was fired on Wednesday.
