Massachusetts wrestling coach David Castricone indicted on child porn charges
David Castricone, a legendary high school wrestling coach in Massachusetts, was indicted on child porn charges on Wednesday.

A former champion high school wrestling coach in Massachusetts was a closet child po fiend, prosecutors charged.

David Castricone, 60, the state's winningest high school wrestling coach, was indicted on two counts of possessing child po by a grand jury in Essex County, Mass., on Wednesday.

The former North Andover High School coach was arrested on Feb. 14 after a student spotted him lurking in the girl's locker room.

School officials who reviewed the locker's security footage confirmed it was the coach, and a review of old footage caught the dirty old man creeping through the locker room at least nine times that month, The Eagle-Tribune reported.

Cops who searched his home said they found hundreds of images of adult and kiddie po, including images of young girls posing provocatively in underwear and bikinis.

Castricone was a local legend, amassing a record of 681-142-3 and two state titles over his 38-year career.

He had coached at Andover for 25 years before resigning the day of his arrest. He also runs a roofing and siding business.

He's set to appear before a jury in August.
