Longtime Youth Tennis Instructor/Teacher Arrested on Child Porn Charges:
“NEWPORT, R.I. – A longtime youth tennis instructor and former teacher was arrested Friday on charges of child pornography possession in Newport.
Thomas Gallagher, 75, was arrested by Members of the Rhode Island Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. He was arraigned Friday afternoon in Second Division District Court and released on $50,000 personal recognizance. Under the terms of his bail, Gallagher is banned from having any internet access or contact with minors.
Gallagher has a long history as a youth tennis coach in Newport, most recently at Spouting Rock Beach Association, better known as Bailey's Beach Club for the past 15 years. He was also a substitute teacher and part-time coach at Saint Michael's Country Day School from 1997 to 2004, and served as a tennis coach for the Newport Recreation Department before that.”
***Anons, this is something to keep eyes on. Bailey’s Beach Club/Spouting Rock is a longtime private beach AND TENNIS club for The Elite. Members include the Vanderbilts, the Actors, the Browns, other Elite families. Membership is around 500 and only new members (same families) are admitted after old members die.
This is the same beach club Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) was criticized for (whites only), for being a member.
Membership is lifelong and based on bloodlines/families. Highly highly exclusive.
I find it notable their tennis instructor was just busted for CP. Perhaps the investigation will lead to others?
Also noteworthy: the private school he taught at, St. Michael’s, for elementary and middle school aged students, also services The Elite in the Newport area.
