Allegedly perv college coach charged with cyberstalking and extorting nudes from his female athletes.
A former track-and-field coach who worked at several universities has been arrested and is facing up to five years in prison for attempting to solicit nude photos of his athletes through sham social-media accounts and cyberstalking.
The Department of Justice alleged that Steve Waithe, while coaching at Northeastern University, would often ask his athletes to give him their phones during competition and practices, ostensibly, so he could film their form, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts said. While he had access, Waithe would steal their photos. Witnesses told law enforcement they saw him “scrolling through” the devices.
