Head of an Indianapolis gymnastics academy Marvin Sharp has been charged with child molestation and child pornography.
Federal prosecutors are said to have found thousands of explicit images of underage children locked in safes at the 48-year-old's home, as well as in a file cabinet at his business Sharp's Gymnastics Academy.
According to ESPN, court documents have alleged that Sharp began abusing a girl when she was 12 years old by fondling her while adjusting her clothing.
It is alleged that Sharp regularly photographed the young girl at his gym and would at times ask her to pose "provocatively" in outfits that he would give her.
Sharp has been charged by Marion County prosecutors with four counts of child molestation and three counts of sexual misconduct.
The gymnastics coach was arrested on Monday.
