CANANDAIGUA -- State Police are looking for more possible victims after a man allegedly volunteered as a sports coach and a firefighter to lure teenage boys back to his house.

Leslie Hoke, 37, is charged with a criminal sex act. He prayed on young boys in Waterloo, Geneva, and Canandaigua, according to State Police.

Troopers say Hoke coached school sports teams to meet kids and volunteered as a firefighter to meet junior firefighters.

Officers want to hear from any teen group or peer setting where Hoke may have volunteered. You can call them at 585-398-4100.

More charges are expected, according to police.
