John Gouveia, a former president of Team USA Softball, has been arrested and charged with eight counts of lewd and lascivious acts with a child younger than 14, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office announced Tuesday.
Gouveia, 61, was booked into the Alameda County (Calif.) Jail on April 14. He posted $250,000 bail and was released the same day, according to the sheriff’s office.
The criminal investigation remains active and ongoing, per the news release.
Gouveia was associated with USA Softball from 1991 to 2019, which included a stint as president. The child referenced in Gouveia’s sexual abuse case was not associated with USA Softball, and investigators are not implicating USA Softball, the sheriff’s office said.
