A former president of USA Softball was charged in April with committing sex offenses involving a child, California authorities said Tuesday. John Gouveia, 61, of Castro Valley, California, was arrested on April 14 on eight felony counts of lewd lascivious act with a child under the age of 14, according to a release from the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office.
The sheriff's office said Gouveia was booked into the Alameda County Jail in April, and was released the same day after he paid a $250,000 bond. It's not clear why information on the arrest was not released until this week. The sheriff's office did not immediately respond to CBS News' request for comment.
Gouveia worked for the national governing council for girls softball in the United States between 1991 and 2019, which involved "extensive travel both nationally and internationally," the release said. Gouveia also worked with the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District for 25 years, retiring as the general manager in 2016. The alleged victim was not associated with USA Softball or the Park District and investigators are not implicating the organizations, the release said.

The legalization of online sports betting in many U.S. states has proved a boon for the gambling industry, as well as generated billions in local tax revenue. But the explosive growth in wagering has also had a less savory effect that experts say threatens the integrity of professional sports: a surge in players breaking league rules and placing bets, sometimes on their own teams and personal performance.
