The 13-year-old boy told police he began taking golf lessons at Hillcrest Country Club in September 2012 with Moreno, police say. Moreno was his instructor.

Sometime in February, Moreno touched the teenager while stretching him on two different occasions, police say.

Police say after Moreno bonded out, investigators found a second victim, a 15-year-old boy, and Moreno, 52, turned himself into Hollywood police Tuesday. He was charged with lewd or lascivious molestation on a victim between 12 and 16 years old.
