Second Modesto Youth Soccer Coach From Ajax United Arrested on Child Pornography Allegations

Multiple NCMEC tips led detectives to coach Efrain Aguayo Jr., police say.

Overview

  • Modesto police arrested 32-year-old Efrain Aguayo Jr. on suspicion of uploading and possessing child sexual abuse material after multiple tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
  • Detectives searched Aguayo's home and seized several electronic devices that are now undergoing forensic analysis.
  • Ajax United confirmed Aguayo worked for the club, and KCRA learned he and July arrestee Matthew Paez were employed there during the same period, according to a former coach.
  • Police say there is currently no evidence that players were directly affected in either case.
  • Paez’s earlier case also began with an NCMEC cybertip, and court records show he is expected in court next week as both investigations continue; anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers at 866-602-7463 or email Detective Gerren Neuson.
