Nearly a year after pleading guilty to federal child exploitation charges in a U.S. District Court, a former Southeast Texas Little League president is soon set to be sentenced.
Adam Dale Isaacks, 41, of Lumberton, is scheduled to appear at 2 p.m. Monday, June 3, before District Judge Marcia A. Crone in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in Beaumont, according to Public Affairs Officer Davilyn Walston.
Under federal statutes, Isaacks faces a minimum of 10 years and up to life in federal prison at sentencing. He will also have to register as a sex offender.
Isaacks, former president of the Evadale Little League, pleaded guilty in June 2023 to four counts of transporting a minor for purposes of sexual activity. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Rachel Grove.
Isaacks was indicted by a federal grand jury on Dec. 7, 2022, charging him with six counts of transportation of a minor for sexual activity. His bond was set at $6.5 million.
According to information presented in court, on Dec. 13, 2021, the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office responded to an Evadale home in reference to a report of several sexual assaults.
As the investigation progressed, Isaacks was identified as the assailant. The youth baseball coach was reported to have sexually assaulted eight minor members of his baseball team, boys between age 9 and 11 at the time of the offenses.
The investigation revealed instances where Isaacks transported four of his eight victims to five states: Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Florida and Oklahoma.
While out-of-state, Isaacks engaged in illicit sexual conduct with the minor victims. The trips were verified with records from airlines, credit card information, photos and witnesses.
Isaacks, then 38, was first arrested on Dec. 30, 2021, in Sabine County. In early January 2022, Isaacks’ home was searched by law enforcement. Bags of evidence were taken out of his home as part of the investigation.
Isaaks also faces charges in Sabine County and Jasper County, but no trial dates have been set.
Charges include five counts of continuous sexual abuse of a child in Sabine County, while Jasper County officials allege one count of indecency with a child and two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child.
