Police say KHS coach confessed to hiding cameras in locker room

By SCOTT SMITH Tribune staff writer

Kokomo varsity swim coach Brian D. Hindson was arrested on a federal child pornography charge Wednesday, after law enforcement agents say they found evidence linking him to videos secretly taken of girls undressing in a Memorial Gym locker room.

Hindson, 40, Carmel, was arrested without incident Wednesday morning and terminated from his employment with Kokomo-Center Schools the same day, according to statements released today by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana and Kokomo-Center Schools.

A search warrant was served late Tuesday on Hindson’s Carmel residence by the Kokomo Police Department, the same day FBI officials notified KPD detectives Hindson could be in possession of child pornography.

Federal officials allege Hindson was found in possession of eight child pornography video files — none, however, related to the alleged locker room tapings — during the Tuesday search of his apartment in the 14600 block of Strauss Drive, Carmel.

Hindson allegedly confessed to hiding cameras in the locker rooms at Kokomo and Westfield high schools. He also admitted to downloading child pornography, according to the federal affidavit filed Thursday in U.S. Southern District Court in Indianapolis.

Everytime I hear “child porn” I tune in expecting to read about 6 year olds being victimized.

Not that it’s not a slimey act to film high school girls.

Strange world we live in. In many states it is legal to have sex with any girl 16 or older, but you can go to jail for taking a picture for them in the nude.

These young girls can get an abortion on demand without naming a father or notifying their parents, but if you took one to a tattoo joint for some permanent ink, you could go to jail.

Strange times indeed.

Until you start hanging these guys, they’ll keep doing stuff like this. People wonder why kids don’t trust adults.

Regardless of age this would have been illegal. Can’t record people naked without their permission.

From the link

In an affidavit filed in Howard Superior Court 2 Tuesday in order to obtain a search warrant, KPD Detective Michael Banush said he viewed videos taken from a Mac computer Hindson sold through eBay in 2006 to a buyer in Gastonia, N.C.

The buyer of the computer, who said she found two objectionable video files after starting up the computer, immediately notified the Charlotte, N.C., FBI bureau in March 2006,

Not only is he a pervert he is a stupid pervert
