Southern District of Texas | Gymnastics coach gets max in disturbing child pornography case

/in


GALVESTON, Texas – A 55-year-old McKinney resident has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for transportation of child pornography, announced U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani.

Darren Frank McCoy pleaded guilty Dec. 1, 2022, admitting he was previously a gymnastics and cheerleading coach in Texas and Alabama. He had recorded teens in various stages of undress without their knowledge or consent and had unlawfully transported those images and videos as well as disturbing images of child pornography.

Today U.S. District Judge Jeffery V. Brown ordered him to serve a total of 240 months in federal prison to be immediately followed by a 10 years of supervised release. At the hearing, the court heard from one woman whom McCoy recorded while she was a minor. She discussed how her life has been seriously impacted by McCoy’s conduct, describing how he stole her childhood experiences without her even knowing it and that she feels rage, anger and sadness and lack of empathy toward him. Another victim described how McCoy sexually abused her from the time she was 12 until the age of 18. She detailed how she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety.  McCoy was a gymnastics coach to these women.  

“Darren McCoy is the definition of a predator,” said Hamdani. “We encourage our children to engage in sports, believing that they will be safe when doing so. Instead, these athletes were betrayed. This so-called coach surreptitiously recorded teens and sexually abused a minor for several years. Hopefully, knowing the only bars he will see now are behind a federal prison cell will give his victims some long-awaited peace.”

On Nov. 30, 2019, McCoy had been on a cruise ship which docked in the Galveston Port of Entry. Authorities sent him to secondary inspection after learning of a prior child pornography investigation from 2015.

There, they found images of child pornography on his laptop which led them to seize other electronic devices including his phone which also yielded numerous pornographic images.

They also found nine videos on McCoy’s flash drive which appeared to be taken with a hidden camera. These videos, which appeared to be taken approximately a decade…

Hackers obtain personal data from 200K+ in southern Nevada casino data breach, class-action lawsuit says

Class-action lawsuit filed after 2022 data breach

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A class-action lawsuit filed Wednesday alleges a southern Nevada casino’s computer systems were left vulnerable to a cyberattack, leaving the personal information of more than 200,000 customers and employees exposed, court documents said.

A hacker was able to access the sensitive information involving Rancho Mesquite Casino over several days in November 2022, documents said. Information accessed included full names and Social Security numbers.

The company operates the Rising Star Sports Ranch Resort in Mesquite, the Eureka Casino in Las Vegas and The Brook in Seabrook, New Hampshire, its website said. Two of the company’s properties were affected, documents said.

The class action, filed in Las Vegas court, alleges the company failed to provide “to provide timely and adequate notice” about the breach. The originating plaintiff is a California resident who said his computer was part of a ransomware attack, documents said.

A document in the filing, provided by authorities in Maine, said the company mailed notices of the breach in December 2022. The company was offered a dedicated phone line and one year of credit monitoring.

“On November 9, 2022, Eureka experienced a cybersecurity incident during which some of our systems were encrypted by an unauthorized actor,” a letter sent to those affected by the breach and included in the filing said. “Upon discovering the incident, we immediately took steps to secure our systems, began an investigation, and a cybersecurity firm was engaged to assist. Although the investigation is ongoing, we identified certain data that the unauthorized actor accessed during the incident. We began a review of the data and identified that the data included some of your information. Specifically, the data included your name and Social Security number.”

The lawsuit alleges the company failed to encrypt the sensitive information.

“Simply put, plaintiff and class members now face substantial risk of out-of-pocket fraud losses such as loans opened in their names, medical services billed in their names, tax return fraud, utility bills opened in…
