The Boston District Attorney’s office has subpoenaed the employment records of former Christ the King boys basketball coach Bob Oliva, who has been accused of molesting a family friend during a trip to Massachusetts more than 30 years ago, sources told The Post.

In April 2008, Carlino accused Oliva of sexually abusing him more than 30 years ago and reportedly demanded $750,000 and Oliva’s resignation in a letter from a Florida law firm to make the case go away.
Oliva refused and Christ the King officials at the time vehemently defended Oliva, calling the accusations a shakedown.
