Michael Martis, a former St. Francis Catholic High School softball coach pled guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse involving two minors. One of the minors, age 15, played on a softball team Martis coached between 2006 and 2007 and the other minor, age 16, was also a player on a separate team he coached in 2013. 

That relationship began with flirtatious text messages and developed into a sexual relationship. Martis faces four years in prison and will be required to register as a sex offender. 

Sentencing is set for November 20, 2017, at 1:30 p.m. in Department 20 before Judge Michael Bowman.
