Youtube Video Leads To Mother's Discovery Of Son's Sexual Abuse

HUFFINGTONPOST.COM - A cautionary Youtube video posted by one of the alleged victims of a sexual predator led one mother -- who recognized the man in the clip as her son's former wrestling coach -- to ask her 14-year-old son if he had also been abused. His answer was yes.

Herbert Daniel Ortiz, a former assistant wrestling coach at Rosemead High School in California, is wanted by authorities in connection with the alleged sexual abuse. The 29-year-old, who is also known as Herbert Ortiz Monroy, reportedly befriended the teen while working at the high school from 2007 to 2009, during which there were no allegations against him, Superintendent Nick Salerno told NBC4 News.
