[Pay to gay...] Youth basketball coach offers $5,000 to buy teen from his parents, Florida cops say

A youth basketball coach refused to let a teen leave a sleepover at his 
home, coerced him to say he wanted to stay and offered his parents $5,000 
to buy him, Florida law enforcement said.

Carl Lombardo, a 58-year-old former coach with the Boys and Girls Club, is 
accused of a litany of crimes against children, including sex offenses, 
human trafficking and interference with child custody, the Marion County 
Sheriff’s Office announced Sept. 19.

His attorney information wasn’t available in court records Sept. 20.

The investigation began Aug. 31, when the 15-year-old’s parents reported 
Lombardo had refused to return their son to them after a sleepover at his 
Ocala house with the teen’s other siblings.

He sent the family a video of the teen supposedly writing a letter saying 
he wanted to stay with Lombardo, deputies said.

But upon reviewing Lombardo’s phone, deputies found multiple other videos 
of Lombardo coercing him, telling him, “Stop crying, just do it” as the 
teen is overcome with emotion, according to investigators.

Lombardo allowed the teen’s siblings to leave, but he told the kids their 
brother belonged to him now and that he would shoot their mom if she tried 
to get her son back, the kids recounted to deputies, according to the 
affidavit.

The child’s father confronted Lombardo over text about withholding his 
child and accused him of molesting the children, according to text 
messages included in the affidavit.

“Lombardo stated he was not concerned because he works with the schools 
and his reputation is spotless,” deputies said.

The parents called the cops, and the teen was returned home, sparking an 
investigation that revealed Lombardo had a “pattern” of getting the five 
siblings to stay at his home for multiple days at a time, during which he 
had inappropriate contact with the kids and molested them, deputies said.

As deputies interviewed the children and Lombardo, they learned he had 
bought them gifts, had photos of himself “cuddling” with the kids and had 
also taken pornographic photos of the children, investigators said.

Lombardo told investigators that on different occasions he offered to buy 
the children from their parents, offering $5,000, according to the 
affidavit.

Deputies said Lombardo used his “position of authority and trust” as a 
coach to “gain access and control over the child victims and engaged in a 
pattern over a period of two years to slowly normalize the behaviors he 
was engaging in.”

He was charged with human trafficking of a child for commercial sexual 
activity, interference with child custody, lewd or lascivious molestation 
of a victim less than 12 years of age, lewd or lascivious molestation of a 
victim between 12 and 16 years of age, lewd and lascivious exhibition and 
two counts each of production of child pornography and production of child 
pornography, according to the sheriff’s office.

Detectives believe it’s possible Lombardo has harmed more children and are 
asking anyone with information to come forward by calling Detective Henrik 
Osthed at 352-351-4710.

Ocala is about an 80-mile drive northwest from Orlando.
