BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — A trial date for a former Bakersfield Condors athletic trainer accused of attempting to meet a minor for sex was postponed Friday to August.

On Oct. 9, 2022, Drown was arrested after showing up at a local park to meet someone he believed was a 15-year-old boy for sex, according to court filings. He’d earlier engaged in a sexually explicit conversation with a sheriff’s detective posing as a teenager on the gay dating app Grindr and made plans to meet, the filings say.
