A cheerleading coach is facing criminal charges after being accused of a sexually abusing a female student.
Pharr police booked Jose Garza III into the Hidalgo County Jail early Tuesday afternoon.
The 22-year-old man is facing an aggravated sexual assault of a child charge.
Court documents released to Action 4 News show that Garza is accused of repeatedly sexually abusing a female student more than four years ago.
The girl came forward with the allegations on May 30th where she told police that she was between 9 and 10 years old when it happened.
Action 4 News does not identify victims of sexual abuse but the girl told police that Garza was her cheerleading coach and that the abuse happened when they were alone.
The girl told investigators that Garza performed sexual acts on her and also forced her to perform sexual acts on him.
Court records also show that the girl was examined by a nurse who confirmed a bite mark allegedly made by Garza during an alleged act of sexual abuse.
It's not clear where Garza worked as a cheerleading coach but he was released from custody after posting a $25,000 personal recognizance bond on Tuesday afternoon.
