Waltham Man Tried To Video Boys In Locker Room: Chelmsford Police

CHELMSFORD, MA — Police arrested a Waltham man that several coaches said was filming a boy changing in a locker room at a high school wrestling event Saturday.

David Menard, 54, was charged with possession of child pornography, and videotaping or electronically surveilling a person nude or partially nude for a felony.

Around 4:15 p.m. someone called police to Chelmsford High School, where a large wrestling event was taking place.

When they got there, they found a group of coaches had detained Menard and were escorting him out of the building. Through the course of their preliminary investigation police determined that Menard had used his cell phone to film a boy who was dressing in the locker room. Police arrested the man and took his cell phone for evidence.

When they went to search Menard's car, police found and confiscated multiple cameras and laptop computers. Police are working to determine the contents of the electronic devices.

Menard will likely face additional charges, according to police. He is expected to be arraigned Monday in Lowell District Court. Authorities said they don't believe Menard had any connection to the wrestling event.
