A local youth boxing coach could face prison time if convicted of fondling a 16-year-old girl at his gym.
Ruben Flores, 62, and the girl were with a group at the Pontiac Arts, Beats and Eats Festival last month when she claims he took her back to his gym and fondled her, Local 4 reported.
Flores was bound over Thursday to stand trial on the misdemeanor charge. He could be sentenced to up to two years in prison if convicted, Local 4 reported.
Flores has reportedly run the Azteca Boxing Club in Pontiac for more than 20 years.
