Costa Mesa police on Thursday arrested a youth soccer coach on suspicion of possessing pornographic images of minors. That arrest follows his earlier one a week ago on suspicion of sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old girl.
Joshua Clever, 39, of Santa Ana, was initially arrested in that city on April 7. Police said he groomed the girl over a six-month period. He was arrested after her parents went to police.
Clever was out of custody on $100,000 bail when detectives said they discovered he had pornographic images of teenage girls on his cell phone.
Detectives are attempting to identify the minors in the images. A police spokesman declined to say where Clever worked as a coach but said the crimes occurred in Costa Mesa.
Anyone with additional information or who believes they have been a victim should contact CMPD Detective Alicia Defuria at 714-754-5364 or adefuria@costamesaca.gov, or Sergeant Jose Morales at 714-754-4933.
