Former South High coach sentenced

Former South High School coach and South Bay YMCA athletic director Leonard Butler was sentenced Thursday to two years in state prison for engaging in sex acts with two underage girls.

Before Torrance Superior Court Judge Mark S. Arnold announced the sentence, Butler, 43, apologized to the teenagers, who were both in court.

"I'm sorry for what I did," the one-time youth mentor said. "I should never have been in those positions."
