A Wake County girls' softball coach was arrested Thursday and charged with nine counts of indecent liberties with a child, according to the Wake County Sheriff's Office.

Raymond Lamar Green, 41, of 10116 Second Star Court, coached in various girls softball leagues in Wake County, authorities said.

The sheriff's office did not release any information about possible victims or say how Green might know them.

According to the city of Raleigh, Green did coach with Raleigh Parks and Recreation from 2009 until 2011.

It wasn't immediately clear where else he might have coached because investigators did not provide the names of any softball leagues.

Green was initially jailed under a $500,000 secured bond, but a judge lowered the amount to $100,000 during a court appearance Friday afternoon.

Green's attorney, Bill Young, said his client – a husband and father of three children – and family are shocked by the allegations.

"He's a 41-year-old man with not a speck on his criminal record," Young said. "We're just going to continue gathering information and continue working with the state to see what this is all about, to see if we can make some resolution."

This is such an unfortunate situation . I don't know what the world is coming to . I played softball from 7yrs old until highschool and never once had a coach that acted inappropriate . There were times I would be dropped off because my parents had to take my other siblings to another destination . But never alone ! These days you can't trust anyone with your kids . Those that are closest to you are the ones hurting them . It's a sad world out there and it's going to be heartbreaking when Jesus comes back to see the mess the lost people in this world have made . We can only pray for them ,

I don't think this type of crime should have bail.

How old was the "Child"?,13,15.17?,like the children being charged as adults because they knew what they were doing when they killed someone?

He should be ashamed of himself and yet, to call himself a "coach" I guess he won't be coaching anymore. I hope all the girls that were scarred by this man, have the guts to speak up and put him behind bars.

Swing and a miss coach.....
