Soccer coach admits drugging and raping young boys... after leaving sick evidence in plain sight
A Tennessee youth soccer coach admitted to drugging and raping young boys after disturbing sexually explicit content involving minors was discovered on his cell phone after he left it behind at a restaurant.
Camilo Campos-Hurtado, 65, pleaded guilty to four counts of sexual exploitation of a minor and one count of receiving visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct on Tuesday, according to the US Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Tennessee.
The egregious content came to light in 2023 when Campos-Hurtado lost his phone.
While trying to identify the owner, staff members discovered 'dozens of unconscionable videos and pictures of children,' and immediately called police, McClatchy News reported.
Investigators discovered a cell phone and several other electronic devices, belonging to Campos-Hurtado, which had hundreds of images of child sexual abuse material that he received, downloaded and produced between 2017 and 2021.
The countless photos and videos showed the Franklin-native sexually assaulting unconscious boys ranging from 9 to 17 years old, according to the Department of Justice.

Investigators later learned that Campos-Hurtado would recruit players from school playgrounds to play for his soccer team.
'After gaining their trust, Campos invited many of the kids to his home where he drugged and then raped them,' police stated, adding that some victims may not even be aware of what transpired.
While investigators identified at least 10 victims, Campos-Hurtado pleaded guilty to the aforementioned five counts.
According to an indictment, Campos-Hurtado's abuse dates back to 2013.
In addition to the sexual exploitation charges, search warrants revealed fake IDs and immigration documents, including three counterfeit social security cards, two fake legal permanent resident cards and a fraudulent resident alien card.
Campos-Hurtado, who prosecutors say lacks legal status in the US, was also charged with using or possessing fraudulent immigration documents and possessing a stolen or unlawfully produced identification document.

'Campos preyed on children in our community for years, using his position to gain the trust of his victims only to betray them by sexually abusing them,' Robert McGuire, Acting United States Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee, said.
'Protecting children in our community and holding child sex offenders to maximum accountability is among the highest priorities of our office and of the Department of Justice. At sentencing, we will seek to guarantee that Campos does not have any chance to hurt another child.'
Campos-Hurtado pleaded guilty to all seven charges he was indicted on and is scheduled for sentencing on October 29.
He faces a mandatory minimum of 15 years in prison, after which he will be deported to Mexico, according to the US Attorney's Office.
Campos-Hurtado's hometown of Franklin is about a 20-mile drive south from downtown Nashville.

28 years in Arizona prison
PHOENIX — A Chandler man who tried to trade child sexual abuse materials in exchange for access to children to abuse was recently sentenced to 28 years in prison, authorities said.
“This case is a reminder of the dangers our children face, and the lengths some will go to exploit them,” Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell said in the announcement.

The two connected on a dating app called Sniffies. During their conversation, Delaney said he wanted to drug the children, tie them up and sexually abuse them, prosecutors said.

The two made a plan to meet at Delaney’s house because he was on probation and wearing an ankle monitor.
On the day of their arranged meeting, Delaney approached the detective with a flash drive containing over 100 files of child sexual abuse material. He also had a rape kit that included:
- Zip ties.
- Whiskey.
- Weed pens.
- Melatonin gummies.
- Body oil.
- Lotion.
He pleaded guilty to one count of sexual exploitation of a minor.
“Thanks to the Chandler Police Department and the prosecution team, this defendant was stopped before he could carry out his plans on a real child,” Mitchell said.
The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office says deputies arrested 35-year-old Kameron Davis Boyer around 6:30 p.m. in the 1700 block of 350th Avenue near Sidney. Boyer is charged with third-degree sexual abuse and incest. The arrest stems from an alleged sexual assault by Boyer against a related child in Anderson in the fall of 2023.
He is being held in the Fremont County Jail on $15,000 cash only.
