BREVARD COUNTY • ROCKLEDGE, FLORIDA (WFTV) – A 39-year-old gymnastics coach was arrested Thursday afternoon after he was accused of molesting a student during a road trip, the Rockledge Police Department said.

Ronald Hartsfield, who coaches at Viera Gymnastics, went on a road trip to Texas with a student in May to deliver a boat, Rockledge police Lt. Donna Seyferth said.

Hartsfield told the victim’s family that either his wife or his girlfriend would be joining them on the trip, but it wasn’t until he picked up the child that he revealed it would just be the two of them, a police report said.

The child told investigators that Hartsfield touched him or her in a sexual manner multiple times during the trip, the report said.
