Earlier today, Melvin Flemings, 22, was arrested on numerous counts of child pornography during a court appearance for a pending case of the same nature. Flemings was booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail and is being held on $500,000 bail.
On February 4, 2011, Flemings was arrested for charges related to the sexual assault of a juvenile male who Flemings coached. Flemings was previously employed as the freshman boys' basketball coach at El Camino High School, and has also coached basketball teams for the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) league in the Sacramento area.
Since Flemings' arrest in February, Sheriff's Sexual Assault detectives have continued to conduct additional investigation and have found at least six more juvenile male victims. Investigators discovered evidence of child pornography and sexual contact between Flemings and the victims.
Detectives believe there may be additional male juveniles who have been victimized by Flemings. Anyone having information about other possible crimes of this nature involving Flemings is asked to contact Detective Anthony Brantley of the Sheriff's Department's Sexual Assault Bureau at (916) 874-5070.
