Federal authorities arrested Steve Waithe, a former college track and field coach, on Wednesday and charged him with wire fraud and carrying out a cyberstalking scheme to convince female athletes to send him nude and seminude photographs online, according to a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice. Waithe was most recently the women’s track and field coach for Northeastern University in Boston until February 2019, a university statement said. He allegedly confiscated athletes’ cellphones during practice and competitions and searched for nude or seminude photos of the women stored on their phones and then forwarded the photos to himself,
