Investigators say former coach Sean Gardner created videos showing close-up images of at least 10 minors naked or undressing, which they recovered from his computers last year while investigating reports of sexual abuse.
Gardner has pleaded not guilty and has been jailed pending trial.

The death penalty grew out of this country’s brutal practice of lynching.
When lynching became politically and socially unpalatable, the death penalty became the state sanctioned alternative.
No one should be killed by the state. The time to end the racist, unjust, and cruel death penalty is NOW.
