Boxing Coach Arrested for Child Abuse | Gainesville News

A shocking abuse scandal has erupted in Ocala, Florida, after a 64-year-old boxing coach, Juan Carlos Quintero-Barrios, was arrested on multiple counts of molestation and lewd battery against a minor. Allegations span months, beginning in September 2025, with assaults reportedly occurring across multiple locations including gyms, his home, a hotel room, and his car. A student came forward in June, triggering the investigation, and Quintero-Barrios allegedly admitted to sneaking a woman into a hotel room to cheat on his wife — though he didn’t name her. Authorities believe more victims may exist and are urgently seeking anyone with information to come forward. He remains jailed without bond as the investigation continues.
