A 30-year-old Reisterstown man who coached youth sports is being held without bond after Baltimore County police arrested him this week on charges that he sexually abused two teenage athletes over ten months, including during out-of-state team trips. Roberto Carlos Huezo Garcia was detained Wednesday and now faces ten criminal counts tied to conduct prosecutors say occurred between March 2025 and January 2026.
Court records show Garcia was formally charged on June 17 in Towson under case number D-08-CR-26-004955, following an investigation by a Baltimore County Police Department detective, according to Maryland court records. Baltimore County police officers obtained an arrest warrant for Garcia on June 30 but did not detain him until Wednesday, as first reported by The Baltimore Banner. Jasmine Fleet, a spokesperson for the Baltimore County Police Department, said officers obtained the warrant on June 30 and detained him Wednesday.
Garcia's listed address is in the 600 block of Saint Georges Station Road in Reisterstown, and court records describe him as 5 feet 2 inches tall and 200 pounds, per the same court filings. He faces one count of continuously sexually abusing a minor, four counts of sexual solicitation of a minor, three counts of indecent exposure to a minor, and two counts of displaying obscene material to a minor, according to the Banner's reporting.
Alleged Abuse Spanned Team Trips to Florida and Pennsylvania
Charging documents summarized by the Turnbull Brockmeyer Law Group indicate the alleged offenses took place over roughly ten months, from March 1, 2025, to January 13, 2026, and involve two alleged victims who were 13 to 14 years old at the time. The law firm's analysis of the charging documents states that Garcia worked as a youth sports coach who traveled out of state with players, and that some of the alleged abuse occurred during an April 2025 youth soccer tournament in ChampionsGate, Florida, as well as during a separate trip to Pennsylvania.
That access to young athletes through team travel is likely to be a focal point as the case moves forward. It remains an open question whether additional victims or other jurisdictions will bring further charges as Baltimore County's Special Victims Unit continues investigating, a possibility the case's trajectory leaves unresolved for now.
No-Bond Status Upheld, Preliminary Hearing Set for September
A Baltimore County bail bond review hearing on Wednesday upheld the decision to hold Garcia without bond. Following that August 13 hearing before Judge Keith D. Pion, Garcia's next scheduled appearance is a preliminary hearing on September 11 in Towson Courtroom 3, according to court records.
Garcia's attorney, Alex Webster of Maronick Law, could not be reached for comment Thursday evening, the Banner reported. The Banner's report was written by Darreonna Davis, an express desk reporter at the outlet who has previously covered gender, politics, health, and economic policy as a fellow for The 19th News.
What the Charges Carry Under Maryland Law
The most serious charge, continuous sexual abuse of a minor, is a felony under Maryland Code, Criminal Law § 3-602 that carries a maximum sentence of 25 years in state prison, according to Maryland court guidance. The sexual solicitation of a minor charges fall under Criminal Law § 3-324, a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $25,000 fine for a first offense, per an analysis from Shared Hope International.
The indecent exposure counts fall under Criminal Law § 11-107(c), which increases maximum penalties to up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine when the exposure occurs with prurient intent in the presence of a minor, according to FindLaw. Displaying obscene material to a minor, charged under Criminal Law § 11-203(d)(2), is a misdemeanor punishable by up to three years in prison and a $5,000 fine, per guidance from the State Commission on Criminal Sentencing Policy.
Special Victims Unit Handles Child Abuse Cases
The Baltimore County Police Department's Special Victims Unit handles child sexual abuse investigations and coordinates directly with the Department of Social Services once a report involving a minor comes in, according to the department's own policy documentation. Garcia's case is one of several recent Maryland prosecutions involving allegations of sexual solicitation or abuse of minors; Hoodline has reported on a Bel Air case and a separate Baltimore-area educator's arrest in recent months.
Garcia's preliminary hearing next month in Towson District Court will be the next point at which prosecutors must establish probable cause for the felony charges against him. Until then, he remains held without bond as the Special Victims Unit's investigation continues.
