John Tran Nguyen, Ex-Basketball Coach, Accused of Unlawful Sex with 14 y.o. Student

• Does that include the gangs, and massage parlors in Westminister and Garden Grove? 

• Exactly. The sexual relationship was consensual, but she objected to being treated like a punching bag. Sounds reasonable.

• "Jeff, you seamed proficient on the matter, just between you, and the rest of the morons with too much time in their hands here..." That's amusing coming from someone who has yet to contribute anything constructive to any of these conversations...sorry, but being belligerent and rude to the other posters doesn't count!

• According to the story, she had no problem with the sex. Just the Ike Turner treatment.

• What's the big deal. He was probably just showing her how to reverse stuff the ball.

• Really? 

• Hello Jeff, you seamed proficient on the matter, just between you, and the rest of the morons with too much time in their hands here.  How many underage girls or boys have be molested?  With all this time in your hands you fit the bill for a pedophile, I bet that is the only reason you get off your computer.  Pardon the grammar

• This makes sense.... First place I saw this story was on the OC District Attorney's web site (2/9) - it seems that all other media have copied the story from there. 'Unlawful Sexual Intercourse' is charged when the minor is under 18, the least severe. Sex with someone under 16 is (typically) not charged as 'Unlawful Sex', but as a 'Lewd Act' with the appropriate age group and much more serious. So the headline does not fit what is being charged. It would appear that the accused was an adult and the 'victim' 16 or 17. My outrage is limited. Not at the slapping, of course, but that is only mentioned as an aside. Nice fact-twisting by the OCDA PR department. They certainly seem to be obsessed with all things s*e*x. I would prefer they look into cops dropping unarmed citizens in front of their children in San Clemente.

• Is she also Vietnamese? I have heard she has big bootie. He must have liked big butt.

• I know both of them and the girl is not 14 she is 17 ... She's my sister friend

• oh crap i balled with this guy before. 

• Was it the back or front of the hand?

• If the American drop is to own a coffee shop with nearly nude waitresses, all the second hand smoke you could want, and dubious gambling machines. 

• Dude, that young 'tang will make you do some crazy shit if you aren't strong.

• The slapping is unacceptable... the other charge - it takes two to tango. And a 14 year old can (and recently has in Orange County) be charged and convicted as an adult. Can't have it both ways....

• well, to be honest, they were in a relationship. and they are only 3 years apart. and of course the media would want the story to be more appealing since they stated as a 14 year old. it as if a freshman dating a senior in high school. but the senior becomes a coach the next year so i dont see what is the problem. there are girl dating men ten years older than them and you dont see a news article about it. its just the label that he was a coach who was intimate with a girl who was 3 years younger. 

• Well, to be fair, in one generation the vast majority of our Viet-American brethren have achieved the American dream.  However, if you do wish to hit on a stereotype, in this caseit would be the common-sense deficit that some of the men demonstrate.

• Putting 20-21yo men in positions of authority over or even authoritative proximity to teenage girls is a game of Russian-Roulette.  I remember being in my early 20s living in Newport Beach, and teenage girls coming on to my friends and I was quite the temptation.  Freedom Vs Common Sense - the age old question in America.

• Memo to pervs... If your banging under age girls 1) STOP!  2) probably not a good idea to rough them up... It makes it a lot less likely that they'll keep "your little secret" secret for very long. And ladies... If your dating an older guy,  Make him at least spring for a hotel room.   I mean, have you no dignity? 

• Asians....the good immigrants..................
