Indiana High School Swim Coach Arrested on Child Porn Charges

Updated February 8

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana, February 7. ACCORDING to various news reports from the area, including the Indianapolis Star, Brian D. Hindson has been arrested for "federal charges of possessing computer video files of child pornography following a joint investigation by federal and local police."

Hindson is the head coach of the Kokomo High School swim squad as well as Central Indiana Aquatics.

In the latest update to the story, WIBC 93.1 FM in Indianapolis reports that Hindson "was fired Wednesday, a day before his arrest on porn charges, and a day after Kokomo police informed school officials of the allegations against him."

The WIBC 93.1 FM report also states that crisis counselors have been dispatched to the school.

According to reporting by the IndyChannel, Hindson "told investigators he had hid video cameras in locker rooms at two schools, a confession that came after someone alleged finding videos of a naked female teen on a computer the coach had sold, the FBI said in an affidavit."

While those videos were not found, law enforcement officials "did find eight child pornography videos not linked to the schools during a search of Brian D. Hindson's home Tuesday, according to the affidavit filed in federal court."

The investigation began in 2006 after Hindson sold a computer via eBay, and the buyers found images of young naked females, apparently in a high school setting, on the hard drive.

According to the Indy Star report, "this investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information about the case should call the Kokomo Police Department at (765) 456-7248."
