FRANKLIN, Tenn. (AP) — A Tennessee soccer coach is accused of drugging and raping at least 10 boys after photos and videos of the children were discovered on his cell phone, police said.

Police were contacted by a local restaurant on June 22 after staff found a cell phone left behind by a customer. Workers looked through it to try to determine the owner and found “unconscionable videos and pictures of children,” according to a news release Sunday from the Franklin Police Department.

Camilo Hurtado Campos was arrested the following day and charged with rape of a child and sexual exploitation of a minor. Detectives have since found hundreds of videos and pictures on the phone; they say Campos recorded himself raping unconscious boys between approximately 9 and 17 years old.

Police have identified two of the victims and are working to identify the others. Because the children in the videos were unconscious, they might not realize they are victims, police said.

Campos lived in the Franklin area for 20 years and would often approach children playing at school playgrounds to recruit them for his soccer team, gaining their trust and then inviting them to his home, police said.

Campos was being held Monday at the Williamson County Criminal Justice Center on a $525,000 bond. Additional charges are likely, police said. The jail had no record of an attorney for Campos and no one answered at two phone numbers listed for him in online directories.

I worked at COMPUSA back in 2006 when I was a snot-nosed teenager. This one guy brought in his broken computer for repair. Well-dressed businessman, obviously made good money.

I don't know WHY our guys went looking through his stuff but they found a tranche of CP that allegedly would make Larry Nasser's eyes water. Police came and waited for him, we called him and said his computer was ready for pickup.

Somehow he knew, because he never came to pick it up. Never heard whether they got him or not, but we had him on camera and we had his name and info so probably

The sheer fucking hubris of this idiot man. Imagine a serial killer carrying his blood-caked murder weapon with him everywhere he goes and then forgetting it at a restaurant.

Damn, he left his phone at a restaurant and it just happened to be discovered by the staff. Lucky break.

Looking forward to this guy never seeing the outside world again.
