FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — A former soccer coach accused of drugging and raping boys he coached in Franklin has been federally indicted.

The indictment charges 63-year-old Camilo Campos-Hurtado with four counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, one count of receiving visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, one count of using or possessing fraudulent immigration documents and one count of possessing an identification document or authentication feature which was stolen or produced without lawful authority.

The former coach had left his phone at a Franklin pizza parlor where staff found hundreds of inappropriate videos and pictures of children, including videos of the rapes.

If convicted, Campos-Hurtado faces a mandatory minimum sentence of fifteen years and a maximum sentence of life in federal prison.

“Here’s another example of a small non-profit doing so much good in our community! Forrest Sanders highlights the group Friends Life Community, which provides adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities a chance to express themselves through art. In this case, original stage performances! Registered drama therapist Sarah Edwards guides the performers, including Mary Margaret, as they express themselves through written words and dance movements. The original show is touring and have a date set this September at TPAC!”
