The boy's mom told police the boy soon called, pleading to be picked up from the practice. The boy would later tell his mom that Jimenez-Rumbos looked inside his shorts and inappropriately touched him five times, police said.

An arrest report said Jimenez-Rumbos admitted to touching the boy inappropriately while at Academy Sports and at the soccer field.

Jimenez-Rumbos faces several charges related to molestation and lewd and lascivious conduct.
