Authorities said the investigation began on June 30, 2025, when the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department received detailed information about the suspect, identified as 50-year-old Armando Felix, who had allegedly sexually assaulted an underage female on several occasions.
The sexual abuse allegedly began when the suspect was between 13 and 14 years old between the years of 2012 and 2013 and investigators said the two met while Felix was coaching her softball team.
