Suffolk County Police arrested a former soccer coach on Aug. 9 for sending sexually explicit messages to a female teenager in April.

The victim’s mother called 911 on August 5 to report her 13-year-old daughter had been sent sexually explicit messages from a soccer coach who previously worked for the Dix Hills Soccer Club. An investigation by Second Precinct Crime Section officers and detectives determined Kyle Justin Bradbury sent inappropriate messages to the minor in April.

Bradbury, 27, of Long Beach, was arrested and charged with Attempted Use of a Child in a Sexual Performance, Criminal Solicitation in the Third Degree, and Endangering the Welfare of a Child. He is being held overnight and is scheduled to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip on August 10.

Detectives are asking anyone with additional information or if you believe you are a victim to call the Second Squad at 631-854-8252.
