A soccer coach in the Hudson Valley is accused of kissing a teenage girl. It allegedly happened during a youth soccer clinic in White Plains, according to officials.

Westchester County District Attorney Susan Cacace announced Wednesday that a coach for a White Plains-based youth soccer clinic was arrested and charged with multiple offenses for allegedly kissing a 15-year-old girl and making suggestive comments to her.

“Protecting our young residents remains among my highest priorities as Westchester district attorney. Our office treats offenses against children with the utmost seriousness. We are proud to take a proactive role in the community educating young people to recognize abusive and inappropriate conduct. We urge anyone with further information about this incident to contact our office," Cacace wrote in a press release.

Jose Grajales-Giraldo, 44, of Mamaroneck, is facing two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and two counts of sexual abuse in the third degree.

Officials with the Westchester County District Attorney's Office say he was involved with a soccer clinic in White Plains at the end of January. That's where he's accused of kissing the teenage girl.

A couple of days after that, he allegedly asked the same girl if she was good at keeping secrets, according to officials. He's then accused of telling her that he really liked her and wanted to kiss her.

Grajales-Giraldo pleaded not guilty to the charges Wednesday.

Families in the Hudson Valley say they are shocked by the allegations.

"That's crazy, that is really crazy," says Westchester County resident Lucy Rivera.

Laura Ahearn, an attorney, social worker and executive director of The Crime Victims Center, says quick action from law enforcement in alleged cases like these is critical.

"They enter into this process where they begin to chip away at boundaries, they start to make comments to children. That process often leads to sexual victimization," Ahearn explains.

Anyone with further knowledge of the case is urged to contact the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office at 914-995-8477.

News 12 reached out to Grajales-Giraldo's attorney and has not yet heard back.
