BY ROSE ADAMS
A serial sexual predator
will spend four years behind
bars for molesting two
underage children, including
a nine-year-old boy he
coached in a Midwood soccer
league.
Brooklyn Supreme Court
Justice Barry Warhi hit 41-
year-old Pablo Pineda with
a four year prison sentence
and five years’ post-release
supervision on Wednesday
following his guilty plea to
abusing the two children
earlier this month, according
to the Brooklyn District
Attorney’s office.
While working as a youth
soccer coach from July of
2017 until April of the following
year, Pineda repeatedly
molested a child athlete
in the bathroom of Friends
Field on Avenue L and E.
Fourth Street, according to
prosecutors.
The pedophile’s scheme
lasted until the victim’s
mother found text messages
from Pineda on the child’s
phone asking the boy to go
to the movies without telling
his mother, authorities
said.
Police cuffed Pineda the following
day and searched the
predator’s phone — revealing
inappropriate messages
sent to a teenage relative,
who he also abused, prosecutors
said.
Investigators also discovered
that Pineda had failed
to register as a sex offender
following a previous child
sex-abuse conviction in
Texas in 2005, according to
authorities.
Brooklyn’s top prosecutor
blasted the defendant for violating
the trust of two children
who he was supposed
to mentor.
“This defendant’s actions
are upsetting and shocking
betrayals of trust,” said
Eric Gonzalez. “This defendant
molested a boy on his
team, and his own relative,
who both had every expectation
to believe they would be
safe with him.”
The defendant formally pled
guilty on Sept. 10 to seconddegree
course of sexual conduct
against a child, forcible
touching, two counts of endangering
the welfare of a
child, and failure to register
as a sex offender.
