CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A coach and board member of a local youth sports organization is in custody, accused of attempting to groom a child.

Harry Wallace Grabowske IV was arrested Sunday. He is a coach and board member of the Laguna League Little Miss Kickball and now faces charges of child grooming and online solicitation of a minor.

A family filed a civil lawsuit earlier this month, alleging he attempted to groom their daughter. The family’s attorney claims Grabowske’s advances were rejected and reported, but says he used money to lure the teen back into sexual conversations.
