Law enforcement officials say a gymnastics coach has been charged with sexual abuse of a minor after being caught inside a darkened gym with a 14-year-old girl.
Prosecutors say 43-year-old Jeremy Link of Kennebunk was seen with his pants around his ankles by the girl's father. Link taught ninja classes at Elite All-Stars of Maine and at another gymnastics facility.
The Portland Press Herald reports the owner of Elite All-Stars hired Link a year ago. She says he passed a background check during the hiring process.
