Investigators are seeking additional information about potential victims of a suspect arrested on multiple charges by Orange County Sheriff’s Deputies for allegedly having sexual relationships with two girls from 2017 to 2023.

According to the OCSD, the suspect is Anthony Oscar Alcala, 28, of Huntington Beach. He was taken into custody on Thursday, April 3 and booked into Orange County Jail in Santa Ana.

The OCSD’s Special Investigations Unit was contacted by an organization aimed at reducing sexual assaults on athletes. Two victims were contacted and an investigation followed.

Both girls alleged that Alcala, while working as a wrestling coach at El Modena and Foothill high schools, “groomed” and had sexual relationships with them.

Investigators also learned that Alcala had a previous job as a coach at a private wrestling club in Placentia called Premier Wrestling. It was formerly known as Somar Wrestling.

Anyone who has additional information related to this investigation is asked to call the Orange County Sheriff’s Department’s Special Victims Unit at (714) 647-7419 or dispatch at (714) 647-7000.
