A Sacramento Little League coach was sentenced to six years in prison Friday, after pleading guilty to molesting an 8-year old boy while camping at Chaw Se Indian Grinding Rock State Park in Pine Grove. According to Amador County District Attorney Todd Riebe, Richard Tinoco, 29, has a history of sex-related convictions. The charges stem from a Memorial Day camping trip at Chaw Se state park when Tinoco was camping with his son and an 8-year old member of the Little League team Tinoco coached in Sacramento. The boy told his mother that Tinoco had molested him twice in the night, and the boy’s mother called the Sacramento Police Department. Tinoco reportedly tried to convince the boy’s mother to lie to law enforcement about the incident. D.A. Riebe says, “Tinoco is the worst sort of sexual predator, one who preys upon both male and female minors and then attempts to thwart law enforcement efforts to keep track of him by failing to register as a sex offender. It took the love of a mother and the courage of a very brave young boy to bring this sexual predator to justice.”
