BOSTON – A former college track and field coach pleaded guilty today in federal court in Boston in connection with a scheme to trick women across the country into sending him nude or semi-nude photos using more than a dozen sham social media and email accounts. The defendant cyberstalked one female student-athlete and orchestrated a scheme to gain unauthorized access to a victim’s Snapchat account.  Steve Waithe, 30, of Chicago, Ill., pleaded guilty 12 counts of wire fraud; one count of cyberstalking; one count of conspiracy to commit computer fraud; and one count of computer fraud, aiding and abetting. U.S District Court Judge Patti B. Saris scheduled sentencing for March 6, 2024. Waithe was arrested and charged by criminal complaint in April 2021 and subsequently indicted by a federal grand jury in December 2021.  “Mr. Waithe’s conduct is despicable. For almost a year, he manipulated, exploited and in one case stalked young women across the county hiding behind a web of anonymized social media accounts and fabricated personas he engineered. Mr. Waithe maliciously invaded the lives of dozens of innocent victims and inflicted real trauma. He now knows no one can hide from justice – even anonymously behind a keyboard.

Chad Gable’s son has already initiated his training, even though he is too young to consider a career in the field at this point. In a recent Instagram post, the 37-year-old wrestler shared heartfelt words and photos alongside his youngest child, Charles James Betts, in honor of a special occasion. Chad Gabe regretted not being present for his son’s fourth birthday due to his professional commitments on the road. Nonetheless, he expressed happiness as his son is displaying a significant inclination and enthusiasm for his father’s profession. “Daddy/Son private training session. Best hour ever?!? I think so. ⁣My dude started wrestling practice two weeks ago. Unfortunately, practices are Monday nights, meaning I can’t go (for obvious reasons.)⁣ That, along with some circumstances (unimportant) causing us to have to cancel his birthday party and me having to go out on the road today (his actual birthday) had me feeling pretty bad for the poor guy.” “But
