Garland Police Boxing Gym Coach Arrested on Child Sexual Assault Charges Involving 15-Year-Old
GARLAND, Texas — A 42-year-old coach affiliated with the Garland Police Boxing Gym was arrested Wednesday, November 11, 2026, after a 15-year-old student reported being sexually assaulted at the student's residence, according to the Garland Police Department.
Agenis Apdul Santos, 42, faces two second-degree felony charges: sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child by contact.
Police said the investigation began around 7 a.m. Wednesday when school staff contacted a Garland police school resource officer after a 15-year-old student disclosed an alleged sexual assault.
Detectives immediately began investigating and developed information indicating that Santos, who was an active coach at the Garland Police Boxing Gym, had engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct with the juvenile.
Investigators obtained an arrest warrant, and officers arrested Santos at his residence around 1 p.m. that same day.
Santos was transported to the Garland Detention Center, where he remained in custody as of the department's announcement. Bond amounts had not been set.
Police Remove Santos From Boxing Program, Urge Parents to Speak With Children
Garland police confirmed that the 15-year-old involved in the investigation was not a member of the Garland Police Boxing Gym.
However, because Santos worked as a coach in the program, investigators are encouraging parents whose children may have interacted with him to discuss whether they experienced or witnessed any inappropriate behavior.
Police said Santos is no longer associated with the boxing gym as a result of the investigation.
The department has not released the location of the alleged assault or the name of the school involved to protect the juvenile's identity.
