ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Court records show federal investigators were looking for pornography that could be used “to sexually arouse or groom young males” for sex when they searched the home, office and locker of former Syracuse University assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine.

Fine was fired Nov. 27 after three men accused him of molesting them as boys.

Search warrants unsealed Monday show investigators were also looking for documents, computer records and travel records that would detail Fine’s contact with boys. They took computers, cameras, compact discs film and phones, among other things.



The 65-year-old Fine has denied wrongdoing.

Authorities are investigating whether Fine took minors across state lines for sex, which is a felony.
