A Bronx man has been
arrested for the alleged
sexual assault of three
girls, all of whom were under
the age of 12, during a
Bronx tennis after-school
program over the course of
two years.
Police told the Bronx
Times the search for Unionport
resident Gerardo Gutierrez
ended in February
when they arrested him
at 9:25 a.m. on a slew of
criminal sex acts, including
three acts of child and
endangerment. However,
his arrest had finally been
made public on Tuesday
as investigators were canvassing
for more information,
police sources said.
From November 2019
through July 2021, police
sources told the Bronx
Times that Gutierrez, who
has been a tennis coach for
the program held at P.S.
100X, located in Soundview,
and had been “preying”
on the girls in the program,
inviting his alleged
victims for individual
private sessions
away from the group.
Police also suspect that
Gutierrez has affected
more girls in the program
and are urging anyone
with more information to
come forward.
Gutierrez has pleaded
not guilty, and according to
court records, was held on
$150,000 bail. Gutierrez was
not a Department of Education
employee, the Department
tells the Times.
