A report in the Daily Mail this morning reveals how a top youth golf coach in San Francisco has been arrested on his own course and charged with 65 counts of paedophilia after allegedly assaulting two male students over a three-year period.
It's understood one of the students was as young as 12.
Andrew Nisbet, 31, who is married, tutored students at Las Positas GC in Livermore and was arrested on Saturday, just hours before he was due to receive a coveted PGA award for coach of the year at Contra Costa CC.
The 49-page complaint filed on Tuesday by the Alameda County District Attorney's Office said Nisbet, who also operates the GRIP Junior Golf Academy which has 175 students, is accused of performing oral sex on his victims in his car from December 2009 through March 2012 and showing them pornography on his phone.
The complaint also alleges that other sex acts were committed by Nisbet in the golf clubs parking lot and during out-of-town golfing excursions.
Livermore Police officer Steve Goard said authorities became aware of the allegations when one of Nisbet's golf students reported that he was abused in November.
'He befriended them as the cool coach, gave them rides to and from practice and bought them gifts, including top-of-the-line golf equipment,' Goard said to the San Jose Mercury News.
'He created a coach-athlete bond and, as he did, was figuring out who he could get away with it with.'
