Prosecutors allege that while coaching, Nicolas Morton made sexual comments, insisted athletes show him their genitals, and inappropriately touched several boys, implicating him in systemic abuse.
Brooklyn D.A. Eric Gonzalez criticized the coach's actions as a "profound betrayal of trust," emphasizing that coaches should nurture young athletes, not exploit them for sexual gratification.
The indictment includes 20 counts ranging from second-degree course of sexual conduct to endangering the welfare of children, highlighting the severe nature of Morton's alleged crimes.
Incidents reportedly occurred during practices and conditioning exercises, where Morton forced young athletes into humiliating situations, further illustrating the manipulation involved in his predatory behavior.
