CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A former professional skateboarder from Charlotte is facing charges for the alleged sexual abuse of at least eight children dating back to 1993, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said.
Police said Wayne Goff, aka "Ray," was a pro skateboarder who used his role as a coach and mentor to sexually abuse children. According to police, Goff was arrested at his home in Mount Holly Monday.
Goff was arrested on 10 warrants of indecent liberties, dating back to events in 1993, CMPD said. CMPD is now asking anyone who may have been a victim to come forward.
"No matter how dated a case is CMPD will always seek justice for crime victims. If you or someone you know has been a victim of a crime, please send an email to Misty.James@cmpd.org or call 704-432-3905," CMPD said.
WCNC Charlotte is choosing to show the mugshots of the suspects in this case because police believe there could be more victims.
