State police have arrested a
gymnastics coach for
allegedly taking inappropriate pictures of his students during practices
and competitions.
According to authorities, Nicholas Adair, 24, of Lake
Hiawatha, was arrested for allegedly manufacturing and possessing child sexual
abuse material.
Authorities began investigating Adair back in January for possession of
child sexual abuse material after receiving referrals from other law
enforcement agencies. During the investigation, detectives discovered Adair was
a gymnastics coach for juvenile females and was capturing inappropriate
pictures during practices and competitions.
A search warrant was executed on March 30 at Adair's
residence. He was arrested. As a result, detectives seized Adair's cellphone, which contained multiple files of child sexual abuse material.
Adair is charged with manufacturing and possession of child sexual abuse
material. He is detained in the Morris County Jail pending trial.
Anyone who may have been a victim or has any information pertaining to the
