Florida coach Carl Lombardo is accused of child abuse and interference

Police arrested a youth basketball coach in Florida after he allegedly refused to return a child who had stayed overnight with him to his parents.

Carl Philip Lombardo, 59, was arrested last week by the Marion County Sheriff's Office at his home in Ocala, Florida. He is accused of offering parents $5,000 for each of their children and faces nine counts ranging from possession of child pornography to sexual abuse.

On Aug. 31, authorities responded to Lombardo's home after the parents of a 15-year-old child said Lombardo refused to return their child after a sleepover. An investigation into Lombardo was launched following that incident, according to an arrest warrant obtained by USA TODAY.
