Daniel Riggs, a tennis coach and grandson of tennis legend Bobby Riggs, has been arrested in South Florida.
Riggs is accused of enticing a minor and producing child sexual abuse material. The FBI is asking for anyone who may have been victimized by Riggs to come forward because social media records indicate that there may be an additional victim.

Riggs is also accused of requesting child sexual abuse material from the minor and using anonymous social media profiles to conceal his identity.
A pretrial detention hearing for Riggs is scheduled for December 23rd.
