Usually, getting up in the morning and opening Facebook emails is a real pain in the ass because there are so many. Twitter leads are always a pleasure too, and all the loyal readers who provide tips are really much appreciated.
Sometimes though, the gems that are sent to us are so absolutely fantastic that morning coffee isn’t even needed.
And now we have the Case of NA3HL Texas Brahmas Head Coach Travis Sanders who was arrested yesterday in Texas. He is being held in Texas until he can be returned to New York to face these charges. Sanders is a long time NA3HL coach and general manager.
Turns out that the details of the arrest and basis for the charges go back to when he was actually the General Manager of the NA3HL’s Southern Tier Express in Jamestown New York.
Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeremy V. Murray, who is handling the case, said in a press release Homeland Security Investigations received a report from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police National Child Exploitation Center that an individual was communicating with a person with the username “Damion Forsberg” on Skype.
The report indicated that “Forsberg” regularly shared pornography that sometimes included children in the content, and was believed to reside in Buffalo, NY or Florida.
Subsequent investigation determined that “Forsberg” was actually Sanders, who resided at the time in Jamestown.
A forensic examination of the Sanders laptop revealed images and videos of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
A preliminary examination of Sanders phone did not immediately reveal visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct but did reveal social networking applications with the alias “Damion Forsberg.”
Officers also discovered that the defendant was chatting with a self-proclaimed minor female in 7th grade, from whom he requested her Snapchat account.
Forsberg? Really? As if he couldn’t choose a surname with a less hockey related history?
Leaving the Court Room, witnesses are now reporting that Sanders was heard mumbling “I am totally going to be in the Death Pool tomorrow” HA HA HA
Yep, all those Safe Sport investigations did a great job here. All those highly touted programs for player safety don’t mean shit until someone is caught. So its time to stop pumping the tires of these background checks and other bullshit that don’t do anything.
And the Homeland Security Office doesn’t bring charges unless they got the goods on someone.
So what does the NA3HL say about this? Nothing. And that says everything you need to know.
