News Release graphic

Unincorporated Santa Ana, Ca. (April 9, 2025): On Thursday, April 3, 2025, Orange County Sheriff’s Department Special Victim’s Detail (SVD) investigators arrested Anthony Oscar Alcala, 28, Huntington Beach, following allegations he had sexual relationships with two juvenile females between 2017-2023.


In Feb. 2025, SVD investigators were contacted by an organization aimed at reducing sexual assaults on athletes. The victims were subsequently contacted, and an investigation ensued. Both victims alleged Alcala, while working as a wrestling coach at El Modena and Foothill High Schools, groomed and had sexual relationships with them.


During the investigation, SVD investigators discovered Alcala had a prior employment as a coach at a private wrestling club in Placentia, Premier Wrestling (formerly known as Somar Wrestling).


Alcala was booked into the Orange County Jail on multiple felony charges including sexual intercourse with a minor.


Due to Alcala’s access to juveniles, SVD investigators believe there may be additional victims. Anyone with additional information is asked to call the Orange County Sheriff’s Department’s Special Victims Detail at 714-647-7419 or Dispatch at 714-647-7000. Anonymous tips may also be submitted to Orange County Crime Stoppers at 855-TIP-OCCS (855-847-6227) or at occrimestoppers.org.
