A former Santa Clarita basketball coach returned to court Wednesday after pleading not guilty to charges of molesting nine teenage boys.

Jeremy Haggerty, 34,  faces 15 criminal charges, including eight counts of sexual battery by fraud, six counts of lewd act upon a child, and one count of possession of child pornography, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

The former basketball coach was arrested by the Special Victims Bureau of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department on Sept. 13, 2018 and pleaded not guilty to charges a few days later.

“Over the course of nearly a decade, Haggerty is accused of sexually assaulting eight victims who ranged in age between 14 and 17 years old,” according to an initial statement from district attorney officials.

After initial charges were filed, one additional victim came forward, according to the D.A’s office.

Haggerty worked for or trained a number of high school teams and young players across the Santa Clarita Valley, according to officials.

In August 2018, officials with the LA County Special Victims Unit confirmed that they were investigating a former basketball coach from Trinity Classical Academy.

Haggerty originally played basketball for Canyon High School until he graduated in 2002. He was inducted into the Canyon High School Boys Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009.

He continued to play basketball at Eastern Arizona Junior College before accepting a scholarship to play basketball at The Master’s University (then The Master’s College). Haggerty also played for two professional tour teams in Taiwan and Italy.

According to his most recent “coach’s biography” that was found on the Valencia High School basketball website, Haggerty either coached or assisted at: Canyon High School, Golden Valley High School, Renaissance Academy, Saugus High School, Trinity Classical Academy, Valencia High School and West Ranch High School.

Haggerty is set to return to court on April 11 for another pretrial hearing.
