   The Sheriff's Department confirmed the investigation into the rape dates back   
   to April 23, 2021, but the incidents occurred in the past. The victim is a   
   minor and former player, but it was not specified if Towner was their coach at   
   the time.   
      
   In the interest of protecting the victim, we are only going to report that the   
   victim is a minor and a former player. We are not releasing more specific   
   details to help protect the victim in this case.   
      
   Towner, 35, faces charges of rape and oral copulation. He has not been charged   
   by the District Attorney's office at this time. He is being held at the John   
   Benoit Detention Center in Indio on $55,000 bail.

   The arrest comes just a day after the school confirmed that they would not be   
   bringing Towner back as the boys head basketball coach. The Desert Sands   
   Unified School District told News Channel 3's Sports Director Blake Arthur   
   that the school's principal    
   and athletic director were "looking to take the program in a different   
   direction."   
      
   Towner missed the final 10 games of Shadow Hills' season. His absence came   
   after the team had a positive COVID test within the program. Shadow Hills was   
   forced to forfeit three league games in the process.   
      
   Towner's bio on the school's website shows that he graduated from Cathedral   
   City High School in 2004. He was hired as Shadow Hills' coach in May 2018.   
   Prior to taking over at SHHS, he was an assistant coach at Palm Springs High   
   School.   
      
   We reached out to the Desert Sands Unified School District for more   
   information on Towner's arrest. Mary Perry, district spokesperson, said they   
   are not able to comment on a personnel matter.
