• Authorities allege Richard Adamsky downloaded hundreds of sexually explicit images of prepubescent girls, some as recently as March.
• The investigation began after a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, leading to a search of Adamsky’s home.

A longtime Bucks County Catholic grade school teacher and youth sports coach is accused of collecting hundreds of sexually explicit images of prepubescent girls.

District Attorney Jennifer Schorn today announced the arrest of a longtime Catholic school teacher and youth sports coach from Warminster Township, following an investigation into the possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

Richard Allen Adamsky, 65, of Warminster, was taken into custody Wednesday morning after a search warrant was executed at his residence. He was charged with felony counts of possession of child sexual abuse material and criminal use of a communication facility.

Adamsky was arraigned by Magisterial District Judge Christopher E. O’Neill, who set bail at $500,000, 10 percent, and remanded him to Bucks County Correctional Facility. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for August 4 at 2:45 p.m.

The investigation was led by the FBI Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force, with assistance from the Pennsylvania Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, which includes detectives from the Bensalem Township Police Department and the Warminster Township Police Department.

The investigation began on March 30, 2025, when the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) reported possible downloading or obtaining of CSAM. NCMEC’s report indicated that an image depicting a prepubescent female posing nude with her genitals exposed was uploaded using Microsoft Bing Reverse Image Search via an IP address.

Further investigation traced the IP address to Verizon, which provided subscriber information leading to Richard Adamsky at the Warminster address.

On Wednesday, June 25, 2025, federal and local law enforcement personnel executed a search warrant at Adamsky’s residence. Adamsky was the sole individual present at the home.

During questioning, Adamsky admitted to authorities that for approximately four to five years, he had been searching for, downloading, and saving hundreds of images depicting CSAM to his computer, according to a criminal complaint. When asked how many he saved, he replied “too many,” the complaint said.

One specific image discovered on Adamsky’s computer, saved on March 28, 2025, depicted a white, prepubescent female exposing her genitals to the camera.

Authorities noted that Adamsky is employed as a teacher at Nativity of Our Lord Catholic School in Warminster and also coaches youth sports at the school. The age group of the children he teaches and coaches is consistent with the age group depicted in the illicit images found on his devices.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information should contact Warminster Detective Stephen Wojciechowski at 215-672-1000.

This case is assigned for prosecution to Deputy District Attorney Monica W. Furber.

SUMTER, S.C. (WIS/Gray News) – A beloved youth sports umpire died over the weekend while working during a heat wave.

The Sumter County Coroner’s Office said 61-year-old Mitchell Huggins died Saturday after being taken to a hospital.

Officials said the heat contributed to the 61-year-old’s death.

Huggins’ sister, Pamela Rufus, said her brother had passed out while officiating a softball tournament that afternoon at Patriot Park.

She said she first got word of what happened through a phone call from her son.

According to Rufus, she was able to FaceTime with her brother when he regained consciousness, but then he passed out again.

“He was just lifeless,” she said. “He didn’t even look like himself.”

Rufus added that everyone on the field tried everything to resuscitate her brother, as players and parents began praying for him. Huggins was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

Parents of players in the tournament shared their concerns about why the games were being allowed to be played in such extreme weather conditions.

“We are aware of an unfortunate incident at Patriot Park during a recent softball tournament and we would ask everyone to pray for the family of Mitch Huggins,” a spokesperson with Sumter County shared.

Tournament organizers did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding the situation.

Meanwhile, Rufus said her brother died truly doing what he loved, being an umpire for kids on the diamond, something he had done for over a decade.

She said Huggins would often be called “Uncle Mitch” or “Mr. Mitch” by some of the players.

“That was his whole passion … that was his second home,” she said. “He loved those kids.”

According to Rufus, Huggins did mention that it was hot but that “he was going regardless” and was excited to umpire at another tournament.

“He just did what he did. I don’t think he looked at the temperature,” she said.

But Rufus did say his death could have been prevented.

“They said he was telling them about it being hot,” Rufus said. “It was just too hot … the heat was not good for anybody.”

Huggins was also passionate about his work with Top Gun Sports, a nonprofit focused on youth sports. Rufus said that the organization was another home for him.

Rufus added she’d like for Huggins’s death to raise awareness about extreme heat and illnesses. But she ultimately wants her brother to be remembered for loving what he did and caring for all the kids he served as an umpire for.

“He just loved the game,” she said.

A celebration of life for Huggins is being held Saturday at the former Timmonsville High School on Kemper Street.

The Division I Council on Wednesday voted to introduce proposals that, if also supported by Divisions II and III, would establish NCAA championships for women’s stunt and women’s acrobatics and tumbling.

If the proposals are adopted by all three divisions, championships committees would begin work in stunt and acrobatics and tumbling in January 2026, with the first championship for each sport expected to occur during the spring season in 2027.

Emerging Sports for Women are required to be sponsored by at least 40 schools to be considered for the creation of an NCAA championship. Stunt has been an emerging sport in Divisions I and II since 2023 and Division III since 2024, and 41 schools sponsored the sport during the 2024-25 academic year. Acrobatics and tumbling has been an emerging sport in all three NCAA divisions since 2020, and 44 schools sponsored the sport during the 2024-25 academic year.

Fencing championships

At the recommendation of the Sports Oversight Committee, the council voted to separate the scoring at the fencing championships to recognize champion teams in both men’s and women’s fencing.

Currently, men’s and women’s fencing teams compete for one title, and women’s-only teams — which are sponsored by nine schools — are statistically unable to win the national championship under the existing scoring format for the sport. By recognizing a men’s and women’s champion separately, over 150 more student-athletes would have the opportunity to win a national championship.

For this change to take effect, it must also be supported by Divisions II and III because fencing operates as a National Collegiate Championship involving teams from all three divisions. Divisions II and III are expected to consider the proposal at their meetings in July

Flag football

The council also introduced a proposal to add women’s flag football to the Emerging Sports for Women program following recommendations from the Committee on Women’s Athletics and the Strategic Vision and Planning Committee. Flag football has grown rapidly in popularity at the youth sports level — including high school — and will make its Olympic debut at the 2028 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. The proposal will be considered in October.

FCS playing seasons

At the recommendation of the Football Championship Subdivision Oversight Committee, the council adopted expedited legislation to change the first contest date for FCS football, starting in the 2026 season. Moving forward, FCS programs will be able to compete in 12 regular-season games every year, with the regular season starting 13 weeks before the FCS championship selections date. The move provides programs greater scheduling flexibility and eliminates the first contest date exceptions.

32-game maximum contest limits in basketball

During their May meetings, the Division I Men’s and Women’s Basketball Oversight Committees adopted legislation establishing a straightforward limitation of 32 regular-season games in both men’s and women’s basketball, removing the legislated requirements for teams to participate in multiple-team events.

The oversight committees noted the Association’s focus on simplifying NCAA rules where possible and determined that the rule change provided greater scheduling flexibility for Division I programs. The new rule does not require a school to change its regular-season schedule and does not limit the opportunity for multiple team events to operate or exist.

Under the existing structure for Division I, the oversight committees’ action was subject to council review, and the council did not oppose the change. The new maximum contest limitation will begin with the 2026-27 basketball season.

If, as widely expected, the San Antonio Spurs select Rutgers guard Dylan Harper with the second pick of the NBA draft, the team will certainly enhance its legacy of community impact.

Only 19, Harper has already used his basketball platform to volunteer in soup kitchens in New Jersey and New York, tutor students in math and help organize a Christmas coat drive.

Should he become a Spur, Harper will join a long history of draft picks who have made their mark on San Antonio and beyond. Consider three examples:
