FBI, Iowa and federal prosecutors seek leads on ex-gymnastics coach in child porn case
Prosecutors and federal investigators are seeking more leads about a former West Des Moines gymnastics coach now accused of sexually exploiting underage girls in multiple states. Sean Michael Gardner, who worked as a coach from 2018 to 2022 at Iowa's famed Chow's Gymnastics and Dance Institute, is now facing child pornography charges over allegations that, at a previous coaching job in Mississippi, he used hidden cameras to capture hundreds of images and videos of young gymnasts in various states of undress. The FBI has said in court filings the images were discovered after a young gymnast at Chow's, known for training Olympic champions including Shawn Johnson, reported she believed Gardner had used his phone to record her in inappropriate positions. That led police to obtain a warrant for his electronic devices. At least two Iowa gymnasts have made reports about Gardner, including alleged inappropriate touching in the guise of stretching and helping spot them for their routines, but no charges have yet been filed in the state. The West Des Moines Police Department maintains an open and active investigation, a spokesperson told the Des Moines Register on Tuesday, Aug. 19. Now investigators are casting a wider net. On Wednesday, after the Associated Press, Register and other news organizations reported on Gardner's Mississippi charges, the Polk County Attorney's Office shared a link on Facebook to an FBI web page soliciting information related to Gardner. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Iowa later Wednesday issued a news release about the link. The web page indicates that Gardner is now believed to have exploited underaged girls at gyms in three states: Prairieville, Louisiana, from 2004 to 2014; Purvis, Mississippi, from 2014 to 2018; and at Chow's in West Des Moines from 2018 to 2022. The FBI has posted links where victims and their parents or guardians can provide information and submit photos or videos related to the investigation. In its post Wednesday, the Polk County Attorney's Office asks that anyone who might know potential victims share with them the FBI page link: William Morris covers courts for the Des Moines Register. He can be contacted at wrmorris2@ or 715-573-8166.

Brothers' bodies found after pair was swept away by Lake Erie rip current
An Ohio family is grieving two brothers who were found dead after they were swept away by a rip current in Lake Erie, according to park officials and the deceased men's relatives. The brothers, Austin Labbe, 22, and Trent Sanchez, 19, were reported missing out of Lake Erie's Huntington Beach in Bay Village, Ohio, on Sunday, Aug. 17, Cleveland Metroparks confirmed to USA TODAY this week. Searchers recovered their bodies three days later on Wednesday, Aug. 20; their remains were about 6 miles away in Lorain County and Avon Lake, Cleveland Metroparks said in a subsequent news release. Labbe and Sanchez were wading at Huntington Beach in Bay Village, Ohio, on Aug. 17 when they were lost in the water. Officials believe they were pulled away by a rip current, Cleveland Metroparks said in a statement to USA TODAY. The coroner in Lorain County told USA TODAY on Aug. 21 that Labbe and Sanchez's bodies were found in Lake Erie off of Avon Lake, Ohio. Their deaths are under investigation, and the coroner is awaiting results. Multi-day search involved several agencies The U.S. Coast Guard's Great Lakes District reported it received a call at around 5:45 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 17, about the brothers. According to the Coast Guard, an urgent information broadcast was issued, and multiple agencies responded, including the Bay Village Fire Department and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Just over 45 minutes after the brothers were reported missing, a Coast Guard Station Cleveland Harbor boat crew and an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew from Air Station Detroit were at the scene, the Coast Guard told USA TODAY. The crews searched for the brothers for two to three hours to no avail. The Cleveland Metroparks Police said its dive team, rescue swimmers, patrol boats, drones, helicopters, canine support and foot patrols helped with the search. After a multi-day search, the bodies of Labbe and Sanchez were found around midday on Wednesday, Aug. 20. What were conditions like the day they were swept away? According to the National Weather Service (NWS), winds across the lake were blowing at about 15 to 25 knots on Aug. 17, and were likely to continue into the following afternoon. The weather service said wave heights in some areas could be 3 to 6 feet. A small boat advisory and beach hazards were in effect on Aug. 17 through the following day, the NWS said. Rip currents are narrow channels of fast-moving water that often occur along the East, Gulf and West coasts of the United States, as well as along the Great Lakes, according to the National Ocean Service (NOS). Rip currents, which the brothers were believed to be swept up in, can move up to 8 feet per second – that's faster than an Olympic swimmer, the NOS said. The agency added that lifeguards rescue tens of thousands of people from rip currents in the United States every year, but 100 people are killed by rip currents annually. How to stay safe in the water Often, when people are swept into rip currents, they panic and try to swim back to shore, the NOS said. However, this puts them at risk of drowning because they tire themselves out. More: Rip currents kill dozens every year. What to do if you get caught in one According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), rip currents may not pull swimmers underwater, but they will pull them away from shore. Swimmers can look for rip currents before getting into the water, the NOAA said. They can do this by staying back from the water (especially from an elevated position like a dune line or beach access). Next, beachgoers can look for places where waves aren't breaking, or flat spots in the line of breaking waves. NOAA says you can avoid rip currents or save yourself from them by following these tips: Family raising funds to bury brothers Angel Labbe, the sister of the young men who died, started a GoFundMe to raise money for her siblings' burial. As of Aug. 21, the family has raised nearly $5,000 toward their $20,000 goal. 'We never pictured this and are grieving over the beautiful lives (Lake Erie) took from us. We ask that if people could share this or even give only a little. We need help to pay for the cost of laying Trent and Austin to rest," the GoFundMe page reads. Cleveland Metroparks Police Chief Kelly Stillman said in an Aug. 20 news release that he's grateful for those who helped search for the brothers. 'Our hearts are with the families impacted by this incident,' Stillman said. 'I want to commend our officers, marine patrol, and partner agencies for their tireless dedication throughout this around-the-clock search in challenging conditions.'

Gymnast who sparked FBI sex abuse inquiry into coach tells AP she's proud to come forward
Gymnastics Abuse Inquiry IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Recalling the damage her now-arrested coach inflicted on her and many of her gymnast friends, Finley Weldon said she feels a sense of pride. Free from the grip that Sean Gardner had during her years of training at an Iowa academy known for producing Olympians, Weldon told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview that she is among the few who survived his abuse and are still in the sport. The 18-year-old is heading into her freshman year at Iowa State University, where she'll be a member of the Cyclones gymnastics team. She spoke with the AP on Wednesday, less than a week after Gardner was arrested on a child sexual exploitation charge. 'I didn't want him to take away anything from me, especially something that I love,' she said. 'None of the girls that I started with or went through the things that I did with Sean are still doing gymnastics today. So that's something I'm very proud of.' She's also happy she's made a difference, in the same way gymnasts she admires — such as Aly Raisman, an Olympian whose visceral accounts of abuse by Larry Nassar shined a spotlight on the trauma gymnasts went through and how authorities failed to curb it. The AP generally does not identify victims of sexual abuse, but Weldon said she wanted 'my name out there because I was the one who did come forward.' 'I felt like I needed to speak out to stop it from happening to other little girls, so they didn't have to go through what I went through,' Weldon said. 'I knew it would just be a continuous cycle if nobody did.' Gymnasts reported abuse to watchdog in 2022 The FBI said Tuesday it believes Gardner 'targeted children' while coaching at Chow's Gymnastics and Dance Institute in West Des Moines, and gyms in Mississippi and Louisiana where he worked dating back to 2004. Gardner, 38, didn't return AP messages left on his cellphone before his arrest, and has not entered a plea to the charge. A public defender who represented him after his arrest hasn't returned messages. Another former gymnast at Chow's, the academy known for producing Olympic gold medalists Shawn Johnson and Gabby Douglas, first reported sexual abuse allegations against Gardner to the U.S. Center for SafeSport in March 2022, alleging he fondled her during training sessions, according to an FBI affidavit. That girl provided the names of six other of Gardner's potential victims, according to the affidavit. Weldon said she spoke with a SafeSport investigator about her abuse at the time. SafeSport, a watchdog created after the Nassar scandal to investigate misconduct complaints, informed the West Des Moines Police Department about the allegations. It suspended Gardner from coaching or having contact with any gymnasts in July 2022. In its first statement on the case, Chow's Gymnastics said Thursday that it fired Gardner in response to the suspension, even though the facility wasn't told the details of the allegations and SafeSport hadn't issued an official finding of misconduct. The police department said its investigation was closed in 2022 when the initial accuser decided she did not want to pursue charges. Weldon said police never reached out to her in 2022 but she's unsure whether she would have wanted to press charges then. She said she came forward in April 2024 at age 16 after she matured and began to realize the severity of her abuse. She praised police for doing 'an amazing job' keeping her informed about the progress of the case. 'It's definitely taken awhile, but I mean, even I didn't realize how many steps there would be to charge him with anything,' she said. Police defend investigative efforts Iowa investigators say they searched Gardner's home in May and seized electronic devices that contained images of nude girls from a hidden camera Gardner placed in the bathroom of a Purvis, Mississippi, gym where he previously worked. West Des Moines Police Sgt. Daniel Wade said Wednesday the department sought the FBI's assistance in mid-July when the case's 'scope started to broaden.' Asked why the department didn't involve FBI sooner, he said, 'We call the FBI when the time is right.' Gardner is charged in federal court in Mississippi with producing visual depictions of minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct related to the alleged hidden camera. Federal and state investigations remain active, and additional charges are possible. Wade defended the department's investigative efforts over the last three years. He said investigators 'went as far with it as we could' in 2022, without a victim seeking charges and have been conducting a thorough investigation since receiving the new complaint in 2024. Wade declined comment on whether investigators reached out to Weldon and other potential victims identified in 2022, saying only that police opened 'lines of communication with different people' that later paid off. Weldon said she met with investigators Tuesday and they asked her to identify herself in an image Gardner allegedly secretly took of her in a vulnerable stretching position. Protecting the 'male figure in my life' Weldon said her goal since she was a girl was to reach the elite level in the USA Gymnastics Junior Olympic program for those who aim to compete internationally. She said she started training at Chow's after her family moved to Iowa in 2015. She began taking private lessons with Gardner two or three times per week shortly after he joined Chow's in September 2018, when she 11 years old. Weldon said she was struggling as her parents went through a divorce and her father was largely absent from her life. She said Gardner sought to fill that role by telling her she could tell him 'anything' and that he would always be there for her. In hindsight, she said he was manipulating her in order to gain her trust. Finley's mother, Julie Weldon, said she heard concerns about Gardner from other parents at Chow's early on and asked her daughter whether her coach had ever done anything inappropriate. Finley said she falsely told her mother no because she was protecting the 'male figure in my life.' Inappropriate behavior progressed She said Gardner began touching her inappropriately in 2019 during lessons, beginning with long hugs and pats on the back. She said his behavior progressed, and he began touching her butt during the hugs and requiring her to stretch for extended periods in positions that exposed her vagina and anus out of her leotard. She said around 2020 he began touching her vagina while spotting her during exercises. She recalled once telling him not to put his hands there and he claimed it was an accident because her 'leotard was slippery.' Weldon recalled reaching her breaking point with Gardner after a 2021 training in which he yelled and threw shoes at her, telling her she'd never reach elite status. She said she walked out and told her mom she wanted to quit. She said many of her classmates quit or didn't return because of Gardner's conduct after the gym shut down during the pandemic. But while he made her hate gymnastics at times, she continued training when her family moved to Texas and then to Utah. She said she eventually proved Gardner wrong by earning elite status and a spot on a Division 1 team. After news of Gardner's arrest, Weldon saw his jail booking photo in the AP story. She said she was struck by how much heavier and unkempt he appeared. 'He's definitely like gone through a spiral,' she said. 'I think he probably just had so much guilt built up in him that he kind of turned into that.'
