BRANDON (FOX 13) - A cheerleading coach was arrested for having inappropriate sexual conduct with a minor, Hillsborough County deputies say.
Between March or April 2016 to May 2017, the 16-year-old victim received “sexually explicit images” of the suspect, 28-year-old Victor Valenty, through Snapchat, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.

The charges he faces include, ten counts of traveling to meet a minor and a porn-related charge.
They said no other victims were identified, but detectives ask if anyone has information on other victims to call them at (813) 247-8200.
