A former Padre Island little league soccer coach indicted on more than 30 counts of aggravated sexual of a child, decided to take a plea rather than face trial.
40-year old John Christopher Warnock will spend the next 99 years in prison.
He'd been in jail since he was arrested last year awaiting trial on the 36 charges that he molested young boys.
Police records showed that a 10 year old boy was the first victim to come forward, after watching a talk show about sexual abuse victims.
Then, 4 other young children came forward claiming to have been molested.
Some were video taped by Warnock.
