Man connected with 2012 Kent teen sex case back in jail again

Omar P. Urrutia, a former Seattle high school assistant football coach sentenced earlier this year on a sex charge in connection with a Kent case in 2012, is back in jail for an alleged parole violation.

Omar P. Urrutia, a former Seattle high school assistant football coach sentenced earlier this year on a sex charge in connection with a Kent case in 2012, is back in jail for an alleged parole violation.

Urrutia, 37, was booked Sept. 23 into the King County jail at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent, according to jail records. He is in jail for violating a condition of his supervision (communicating with a minor) and is scheduled to have a hearing on Oct. 2, said Norah West, spokeswoman for the state Department of Corrections.

Urrutia, a former assistant football coach at Franklin High School, pleaded guilty to communication with a minor for immoral purposes in connection with a 2012 case. A King County Superior Court judge sentenced him in February to 60 days in jail, 12 months of community custody and required him to register as a sex offender, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

West said Urrutia has received sanctions four times since February for violating parole. The sanctions were for low-level violations such as consuming alcohol and failing to attend sex offender treatment.

Kent Police arrested Urrutia, of Bellevue, in October 2012 after the mother of a 13-year-old Kent girl reported to detectives that she found sexually explicit text messages on her dauther’s cellphone that she had exchanged with Urrutia, according to charging documents.

The mother told police the messages included references to sexual positions, negotiations for money, getting high and providing her daughter with alcohol. The mother posed as her daughter and exchanged several text messages that invited her to spend the night with Urrutia and referred to oral sex.

That tip led Kent Police to set up an undercover sting that resulted in the arrest of Urrutia at the Renton Transit Center where he agreed to meet with a 13-year-old girl for sex. But that girl turned out to be a detective posing as the 13 year old.
