A youth basketball coach in Marin County has been taken into custody after authorities uncovered allegations of misconduct involving a teenage girl.
Charles Ramon Huff, a 57‑year‑old Mill Valley resident, was arrested in Santa Rosa and booked into the Marin County Jail on a $250,000 bail, facing three felony counts of lewd acts upon a 15‑year‑old girl.
According to the case file, the alleged incidents occurred in May, and Huff is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday for his arraignment as the legal process moves forward.
Academy’s Response
North Bay Basketball Academy, the organization where Huff served as a coach, released a statement confirming that he has been placed on administrative leave and stressing that the alleged conduct did not involve any of its current participants.
The academy’s public communication underscores its commitment to the safety of young athletes and to cooperating fully with law‑enforcement agencies conducting the investigation.
Community members and local officials have voiced concern, noting that the case highlights the importance of robust safeguarding protocols within youth sports programs throughout the Bay Area.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the responsibilities placed on adults who work closely with minors, and it may prompt renewed scrutiny of background‑check practices across regional athletic organizations.
