Woodburn middle school track coach arrested, accused of child sex abuse

WOODBURN, Ore. — A Woodburn middle school track coach is accused of having a sexual relationship with a minor.

Woodburn police officers arrested 29-year-old Jubentino Guzman, of Salem, on Tuesday after receiving information about a sexually explicit video that was posted on social media showing Guzman with a 16-year-old.

Investigators determined Guzman was employed as a track coach at French Prairie Middle School in Woodburn.

Guzman told police that the relationship had been going on for several months.

Police said Guzman was a coach at French Prairie Middle School from 2013 through 2020 and that the victim was a former student at the middle school when Guzman was employed there.

Guzman was booked on the Marion County Jail on charges of third-degree sex abuse, first-degree encouraging child sexual abuse, possession of child pornography, and official misconduct.
