A former Lawndale Little League coach has pleaded no contest to two counts of molesting two of his team members, ages 10 and 11, the Los Angeles County district attorney reported.
Michael Steese, 34, entered his plea Wednesday in Torrance Superior Court and will be sentenced July 27, according to Deputy Dist. Atty. Ron Geltz. Steese faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in state prison.
Geltz said the molestation incidents occurred last December and in April at a home where Steese once lived.
