From ASA:

We are deeply disturbed by the news regarding Ernesto Mercado, who was a volunteer with Arlington Soccer Association. Mr. Mercado was a volunteer from March 2019 to June 2024, and during his time with us, we were not aware of any allegations or concerns regarding his conduct. Arlington Soccer Association conducts thorough background checks on all of our volunteers, and we remain committed to maintaining the safety and well-being of all participants in our programs.[/quote]

I would not believe everything you see on the news.  They oftentimes don't fact-check.  While this may be true, you cannot assume that they are correct.  The news recently had a woman saying dozens of kids were killed at a location in DMV, and that's simply not true. Also, there was another person accused of something terrible 
with kids a few years ago and as things came out the parents lied. The media doesn't do its job anymore.  They just put out the headlines.    [/quote]
“How authorities zeroed in on the Arlington man
Evidence from the sexual assaults were entered into the CODIS database for routine search. The database holds DNA profiles from convicted offenders, unsolved crime scene evidence and missing persons. The male DNA profiles matched one another, indicating that the same person was linked in the assaults.

A genetic genealogy testing led to Mercado’s identification. Forensic genealogy is a technique in which investigators use a known DNA sample to build a family tree of possible connections based on DNA profiles from publicly accessible genealogy websites.

For the past several weeks, police obtained a warrant to get swabs of Mercado’s driver side door handle of his car and the inside of his cheek. Testing of the cheek swabs collected from Mercado found that his DNA profile matched evidence collected from one of the previous assaults.“
