Trabuco Hills High Coach Arrested After iPad Found With Child Porn

A 57-year-old high school coach was arrested after he allegedly left an ipad containing child pornography in a returned rental car.

An iPad found in a returned rental vehicle has led to the arrest of a high school track and field coach in Laguna Niguel for possessing child pornography, a sheriff’s lieutenant said today.

Raymond William Henry II, 57, who coaches at Trabuco Hills High School, was arrested Friday by investigators from the Orange County Child Exploitation Task Force and Orange County Sheriff’s Department’s Special Victims Unit, said Orange County Sheriff’s Lt. Jeff Hallock.

A tip on Thursday led to Henry’s arrest when an informant at a car rental business found an iPad in a returned rental vehicle that contained photos of naked females in age from 11 to 13, exposing their genitals as well as several photos of minor females wearing Trabuco Hills High School uniforms, engaged in track and field activities, Hallock said.
