Los Angeles high school coach arrested on suspicion of sexual assault of a minor
A Los Angeles high school basketball coach was arrested this week on suspicion of sexually assaulting a minor, and police are seeking more potential victims in the case, authorities said.
Paul Anthony Davis, 33, was arrested Wednesday on a count of continuous sexual abuse of a minor, Los Angeles police said in a news release. Police did not identify the school where Davis was a coach.
Davis is being held on $35,000 bail.

The case will be referred to the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office.
