Former softball coach sentenced to prison

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A former youth softball coach in New Hampshire has been sentenced to four years in prison for possessing child pornography.

WMUR-TV reports 29-year-old Trevor Palladino, of Milford, was sentenced Wednesday after he pleaded guilty to exchanging sexually explicit photos with a 14-year-old former player on his team.

Prosecutors say Palladino used Instagram to communicate with the child and requested she send him explicit photos of herself. She did so, and he sent similar photos of himself.

Palladino was the former softball coach at Milford Middle School.

He is required to turn himself in for the prison sentence on Feb. 25.
