A Southern California water polo coach was convicted of multiple counts of sexual assault Tuesday in Santa Ana.
Bahram Hojreh, 46, was convicted of 22 felony counts including lewd or lascivious acts with a minor under 14; lewd acts on a child 14 or 15 years old; sexual penetration by a foreign object of a minor; and sexual battery by fraud for nine victims. Hojreh was convicted of misdemeanor counts of simple assault on a 10th girl.
"It took place during one-on-one instruction in 2012 through the summer of 2017 and beginning of 2018," Cooper said. Hojreh began coaching at Kennedy High School in the summer of 2017.John Barnett, Bahram Hojreh's defense attorney, said Hojreh is a"famed water polo coach" who coached for 27 years and who garnered 10 national championships.
Deputy D.A. Cooper said one of Hojreh's accusers"became suspicious" that others were experiencing abuse in late fall of 2017. Several teens on the team met later that winter to discuss the situation. The teens all agreed to tell their parents about the alleged abuse, Cooper said. Others came forward in 2019, Cooper said.
