Elite personal trainer, 41, who coached football and track stars at top California private schools is arrested for 'sexually assaulting 15-year-old - as cops warn 'there may be more victims'

A trainer who specializes in coaching student athletes in some of California's most elite high schools is facing sexual assault charges - as cops search for more victims.

Keith Dudley, 41, was arrested last week after he allegedly sexually assaulted a 15-year-old Moorpark High School student off campus.

The incident happened last month in the city of Oxnard, where Dudley lives, detectives revealed to DailyMail.com.

Cops have not released details on the assault because of the ongoing investigation, but they confirmed it was not on school grounds or at a training facility.

Oxnard Police said the alleged incident occurred in March and did not happen at a school campus

'He has been a trainer for many years, and we do suspect that there might be other victims,' Detective Juan Morales told DailyMail.com.

Ventura County District Attorney officials said they are now reviewing the case and could decide this week on whether they will pursue charges. 

DailyMail.com has reached out to Dudley, who has yet to respond to the allegations. 

He was arrested on March 27 for lewd and lascivious acts with a minor and is out on $20,000 bail.

The trainer, who goes by the nickname 'Kountry Keith,' has been coaching student athletes at schools and gyms since at least 2016 or 2017. 

The 41-year old's social media posts show him celebrating at track meets with the athletes, their family members and school officials from exclusive private schools such as Oaks Christian in Thousand Oaks, St. Bonaventure High in Ventura and public schools like Oxnard, Camarillo and Simi Valley high schools. 

One parent contacted by DailyMail.com said he was shocked to hear of the allegations against Dudley, who had worked with his star athlete son at Pacifica High School in Oxnard. 

'We've always had nothing but positive experiences with Keith in all the years I've known him,' said the shocked parent who wanted to remain anonymous.

Dudley, who also was a college track and field athlete, regularly shared his training methods online

The personal trainer often boasts about his techniques, claiming his young trainees as part of his 'Kountry Speed University.' 

The trainer, however, also has a day job as a senior software engineer at Teledyne FLIR, which designs and manufactures thermal imaging infrared cameras.

Dudley also was a senior software engineer at US Naval Base Ventura County Point Mugu from 2014 to 1026, according to his LinkedIn bio.

However, he has never been an employee at Moorpark High School where the alleged 15-year-old victim is a student, school officials confirmed to DailyMail.com.

Keith Dudley trained students at public and private schools in California since at least 2016.

'He is an independent personal trainer and has no affiliation whatsoever with our district,' said Moorpark Unified School District spokesman Dan Wolowicz.

'We are working with the Oxnard Police Department during their investigation, and we are fully committed to supporting our students in whatever capacity we can throughout this process.'

DailyMail.com has reached out to officials at various campuses whose students were trained by Dudley, including Oaks Christian, St. Bonaventure, Simi Valley and Oxnard high schools.

Simi Valley Unified School District officials confirmed to the DailyMail.com that Dudley was not an employee.

Rocky Valles, a former assistant superintendent at Oxnard Union High School, told DailyMail.com he hired Dudley to help his son, Trey, to improve his explosive speed.

Trey was a running back for Camarillo High School and was being recruited by Ivy Leagues his junior year, so he decided to train with Dudley for about a year. 

Rocky Valles said he would pay Dudley $300 a month to train his son at least three times a week.  

'He was known as the premier speed and agility coach in California,' Rocky Valles told DailyMail.com. 'He would train students, whether the athlete was in track in field or like my son, who was in football.

'My son wanted to improve his 40-yard dash and he did. He went from not being known as a running back in his freshman year to being one of the premier running backs in his senior year. 'And now a year later, we hear Kountry Keith was arrested.'

Valles said his son also was shocked when he told him his former speed coach was arrested for sexually abusing a minor.

'He said he never heard of anything happening like that,' Valles said. 'There was no inkling whatsoever of anything inappropriate.' 

In one alarming social media comment from May 2020, Dudley posted a photo of convicted sexual offender and R&B singer R. Kelly that read, 'R. Kelly has tested positive for SHEWASNT-19.'

The trainer jokingly added his own caption that said, 'Somebody please throw my phone away.'

In a May 2020 social post, Dudley joked about singer R. Kelly, who was convicted of three counts of producing child pornography and three counts of enticing a minor to engage in sexual activity

Parents whose kids trained with 'Kountry Keith' said he charged at least $300 a month 

Moorpark Unified officials sent a message to parents notifying them of the allegations.

The message read, 'Today, March 28, Moorpark Unified School District administration became aware of an arrest made yesterday evening, March 27, of Keith Dudley, an Oxnard-based personal trainer, by investigators with the Oxnard Police Department's Family Protection Unit. 

'Keith Dudley was arrested for reportedly sexually assaulting a student who attends Moorpark High School.

Although Keith Dudley, an independent personal trainer, is not and has never been an employee of Moorpark Unified School District, our district is dedicated to the safety and support of our students, and we will be speaking with Oxnard Police Department detectives to determine if there is any assistance we can provide as their investigation moves forward.'

In the meantime, Dudley's Amazon page remains up, where he earns commissions for recommending track and field essentials like stop watches and barefoot shoes. 

He also pushes healthy juice drinks and supplements on his own site. Dudley continues to post inspirational sayings on his X account, formerly known as Twitter.

'The best athletes on the field are normally the best athletes off the field,' the trainer said in one of his posts. 'What you do away from your sport matters.'
