A “walk-on” baseball coach and substitute groundskeeper at a California high school was charged with sex crimes against a female student, prosecutors said. 

Gabriel Vigil, 34, was working at Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo High School in Long Beach when he committed the crimes, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said.

He was charged with one felony count each of sexual penetration of a person under 18, unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor more than three years younger, oral copulation of a person under 18, contacting a minor for a sexual offense and distributing or showing pornography to a minor.
