A former member of the Marinwood Waterdevils Swim Team, now 17, has accused former swim team coach Jason Ward of making sexual advances. The two sent texts back and forth for roughly a month when the girl was 13, according to the IJ. Ward was arraigned Monday and is facing charges of sending lewd texts and photos.
Ward, who stopped coaching the team several years ago, is also a former girls’ water polo coach at Redwood High School in Larkspur, according to the IJ.
