Townley Jordan - Illegal Immigrant Sexually Abuses Soccer Players He Coaches

Summary: A Texas soccer coach has been arrested after it was discovered that he had sexually abused eight of his soccer players, boys between the ages of ten and fifteen. Police are expecting that even more boys will come forward. The undocumented immigrant, Marcos Ramos, is wanted for the sexual assault of children in Guatemala as well. He is facing three counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and five counts of indecency with a child. Police say he has been giving false names for years to fool people. He is said to have fled Central America, immigrated illegally, and coached a boys soccer team where he first settled, in Houston, Texas. A warrant had been issued for his arrest in Houston, and is facing even more charges in Corsicana, where he has been a the coach of a recreational soccer team for four years. Police are unsure of what identity he has been using. The kids that have come forward are now two years older then at the time of abuse. One of the older boys told the truth and persuaded others to follow suit.

Analysis: This article was written for Fox News Latino. This article is interesting because this particular case combines multiple fears of the average American: illegal immigrants, stolen identities, sexual abuse, sexual abuse by a trusted mentor, and thinking you know someone to find out that they are not who they say they are. Many of the components of this case are terrifying to most civilians. The article was written to be informative of a horrible thing that has happened. They should inspire a little fear in people because it brings up the idea that we could think we know someone and later find out (or never find out) that we have been lied to the entire time. I hope that this man receives fair punishments for the horrible crimes he has committed.
