The alleged victims claim that Reyes would rub himself against and place his face on their private parts during stretching exercises while their clothing was still on.

One of the victims alleged Reyes even put his hands underneath her clothing, police said.

The alleged molestations began 2022, and one of the victims told police the inappropriate touching became longer and more intense at the beginning of this year.

The owners of the academy said Reyes was fired Friday, the same day he was arrested. Reyes had turned himself in and since bonded out of jail.
