Maryland volleyball coach posed as teen on Snapchat to solicit child porn: sheriff

A Maryland high school volleyball coach posed as a teen boy to solicit and receive explicit photos and videos of underage girls, authorities said.

Evan Thomas Harris Frock, 32, was busted Monday on multiple child porn-related charges after a search warrant was executed at his home in Taneytown, according to the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office.

Frock, who worked as the head varsity volleyball coach at Westminster High School, allegedly used several usernames on Snapchat to send, receive and solicit explicit photos and clips of young girls.

Frock, who also worked at the school as a long-term substitute, posed as a boy during his alleged scheme. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children got a tip that a subject later identified as Frock had shared child porn on Snapchat from last April through October, sheriff’s officials said.

Investigators believe Frock contacted more than 1,000 users on Snapchat and think he may be associated with other schools and athletic businesses throughout greater Baltimore. He used usernames such as volleygirlhan, volleygirl1025, laxguy2323, and pictures1025 on the social media platform, authorities said.

“Investigators are working with school officials and the Carroll County Board of Education to identify additional student victims who may have had inappropriate contact with Frock,” sheriff’s officials said in a statement.

Frock was terminated from his roles Monday, a Carroll County Public Schools spokeswoman confirmed to The Post.

“We are cooperating fully with the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office and their investigation into this matter,” the district said in a statement.

Frock remains held without bail in Carroll County ahead of a bond hearing set for Wednesday. An attorney was not listed in court records, the Baltimore Sun reported.
