URBANA, Ill. — A former University of Illinois gymnastics coach has pleaded guilty to videotaping a gymnast in a campus locker room.
Jon Valdez, who also coached at the Beijing Olympics, pleaded guilty to one count of unauthorized videotaping Tuesday in an Urbana courtroom.
Champaign County State's Attorney Julia Rietz says Valdez was sentenced to two years of probation and 50 hours of community service.
