A former California youth soccer coach convicted of molesting a child for six years has been sentenced to over 155 years behind bars.
Jesus Anthony Magana, 39, from Oxnard, was sentenced to 155 years to life in prison on Wednesday following his previous conviction involving multiple counts of sexually assaulting and committing lewd acts with a young child, according to the Ventura County District Attorney's Office.
On Sept. 7, Magana was convicted of five counts of unlawful acts on a child 10 years of age or younger, four counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and seven counts of lewd acts on a child under the age of 14. Each of these charges is a separate felony.

Magana was a soccer coach with the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) for several years, including a span between 2013 and 2019, when the crimes took place with the same victim, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office said.
The court ordered Magana to pay restitution to the parents of the victim, whom the court said Magana was not to contact "in person, by mail, by phone or in any other manner either directly or indirectly."
