Morgan Hill summer camp counselor accused of sexually assaulting 10yearold girls
Sep 03, 2026
A Gilroy man accused of sexually assaulting three 10-year-old girls while working as a summer camp counselor is scheduled to be arraigned Friday.
Anthony Joseph Ramon faces five counts of felony child molestation for attacks the district attorney claims took place in June at a Morgan Hill swim ce
nter. The 25-year-old Ramon was arrested three different times for each alleged assault.
Prosecutors not only want him to be held accountable, but also want to know why Ramon was allowed to post bail after each arrest. Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen intends to ask the judge to hold Ramon on no bail during Friday’s formal arraignment on multiple assaults.
“Bail should always be about protecting public safety,” Rosen said in a statement. “The idea that a person suspected of sexually abusing multiple children should get the same chance at freedom as a person accused of mail fraud or some other non-violent crime is wrong, and dangerous.”

Legal analyst Steven Clark said Ramon was allowed to post bail because each arrest occurred separately.
“Now that the cases will be consolidated in one place, that’s where I think the court will the say ‘He’s now facing a life sentence and no bail is allowed,'” Clark said. “But for the defense, they’re gonna say that he has made his court appearance that he posted enough bail to secure both his appearances. He’s not a flight risk and he is presumed innocent.”
Ramon was a counselor for YMCA Silicon Valley when he worked a school summer camp field trip to the Morgan Hill Aquatic Center. In the weeks following, police arrested Ramon repeatedly after three individual 10-year-old girls came forward — one by one — claiming he molested them in the pool.
Police said the case is an active investigation and are still looking for more possible victims.
