Coach Arrested for Online Solicitation

A 37-year-old youth softball coach, Nathan Scott Velez, was arrested on charges of online solicitation of a minor after allegedly chatting with an undercover detective posing as a 15-year-old girl. He reportedly asked for nude photos, discussed sex acts, and attempted to arrange a meeting. The investigation was conducted by the Harris County Constable’s Internet Crimes Against Children Unit, and he faces up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Velez, who also worked as a tech company lineman, is now being urged by authorities to come forward if anyone has information about his actions or similar incidents involving children online. This case underscores the critical need for digital vigilance to protect minors in virtual spaces. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
