Videotapes of Lanham having sex with the girl, who attended Bishop Moore Catholic High School in Orlando when Lanham coached there in the late 1990s, were seized shortly before his arrest Thursday evening, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
Mankewich, head of the sheriff's sex-crimes unit, said Friday that Lanham couldn't be charged with having sex with a minor because the statute of limitations had expired. But Mankewich said he thinks other teen athletes may have been victimized at Bishop Moore or Orlando Christian Prep, where Lanham, 47, led the 2005 team to the Class 1A state championship.
"It's our experience that more victims will come forward in this type of case," Mankewich said.
2 coaches have criminal records
Lanham's arrest raises questions about how carefully private schools in Orlando scrutinize prospective coaches.
Court records show Lanham, who has been coaching girls basketball at Orlando Christian Prep since 2002, served time in state prison after being busted in Orlando in 1988 with 4 ounces of cocaine. Sentenced to 3 years in prison and 26 years of probation, the future coach -- who used the alias "Louie Rivera" -- joined prison ministries and earned an early release.
