A Year of Navel Gazing: The Virtual Orange County

1. Intramural football, lacrosse and basketball coach Cameron Joseph Baca, 29, of San Clemente, molested three boys, ages 11 to 13, and also showed them some of his collection of more than 2,000 explicit pornographic images and videos of children. Among his disgusting keepsakes were 50 written stories describing adult men, including coaches and babysitters, having sex with young boys. Baca was sentenced in November to 51 years to life in state prison.
