Nicholas Adair, 24, has been charged with manufacturing and possession of child sexual abuse material, New Jersey State Police said in a Thursday, April 7 release.
Paramount Gymnastics in Hillsborough, Adair's former employer, said he was terminated from his job when they were notified of the investigation on March 30.
Adair, of Lake Hiawatha, is accused of taking inappropriate pictures during practices and competitions while working as a gymnastics coach for young girls, police said.
Adair was detained in the Morris County Jail pending trial after a warrant executed on his cell phone turned up multiple files depicting child sexual abuse material, police said.
The arrest is the result of an ongoing investigation by the New Jersey State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Unit, as well as the Division of Criminal Justice, Morris County Prosecutor’s Office, and Homeland Security Investigations-Newark Division.
