The 56-year-old Orlando man, Victor Bryne, used to work as a diving coach in Rockland County, New York where he transported teen girls to sexually abuse them, according to court documents.
In July 2006, Bryne transported a 16-year-old girl from Massachusets to Rockland County to engage in sexual acts. In 2008, Bryne allegedly did the same thing with a 17-year-old girl from New Jersey, authorities said.
Both of the victims were divers for Bryne, who coached a group of competitive divers. The two victims are now adults and both now work for law enforcement agencies, one as a police officer, the other as a special agent for the Department of Homeland Security.
The alleged abuse went on for years, according to officials, who said Bryne began sexually abusing the first victim from the time she was 14 and the second victim from the time she was 16.
Bryne is charged with two counts of transporting a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity. He now faces life in prison. He will be detained until his next hearing in Orlando on Sept. 12.
