A former Arapahoe County soccer coach arrested on child pornography charges

ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) -- A former soccer coach in Arapahoe County is now in custody after being arrested on child pornography charges.

The Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office says they were responding to a tip about child pornography being traded from an IP address in Arapahoe County.

That led investigators to the suspect, 63-year-old Howard Harper.  Harper works for the real soccer club as an "age coordinator" but, previously worked as a coach.

Real Colorado released a statement about the arrest supporting the investigation. The club also says that none of the players in the program were involved.
