Former Owings Mills PE Teacher, Carroll County Volleyball Coach Faces Child Porn Charges

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- A former Carroll County volleyball coach arrested Monday faces a slew of child pornography-related charges, the Carroll County Sheriff's Office said. The suspect formerly taught at an Owings Mills private school.

Evan Thomas Harris Frock, 32, of Taneytown is charged with 4 counts of Inducing a Minor to Produce Child Pornography, 4 counts of Distribution of Child Pornography, 2 counts of Knowingly Soliciting Child Pornography, and 8 counts of Possession of Child Pornography.

Frock was the head Varsity Volleyball Coach and a long-term substitute teacher at Westminster High School, officials said. He worked as the Athletic Director of Liberty Christian School in Owings Mills until summer 2020, the school confirmed.

He was also an assistant coach for the Francis Scott Key High School Junior Varsity volleyball team from 2015 to 2016, according to FCA Maryland Volleyball.

According to the sheriff's office, Frock used different Snapchat accounts to send, receive, and solicit explicit photographs and videos of underage girls. He allegedly represented himself as a high school-aged male to facilitate the exchange of explicit photographs and videos.
