A former Little League coach convicted in 2002 of sexually assaulting one of his former players was arrested by FBI agents Wednesday morning at the Honolulu Airport on child pornography charges.

Mark Robinson Heyd, 60, was arrested at 9 a.m. as he was going through airport security for a flight to Las Vegas, according to the FBI. He appeared in federal court in Honolulu, and faces federal charges on a criminal complaint out of Cincinnati for distribution of child pornography, which carries a five- to 20-year prison sentence.

Heyd, an architect, currently lives in Kailua, the FBI said.

“He was allegedly trafficking in child pornography via the Internet,” said FBI spokesman Tom Simon. “The person whom he was allegedly trading child porn with happens to be in Cincinnati.”

On March 20, 2002, police arrested Heyd, then a Kaneohe resident and longtime Kainalu baseball coach for children ages 10 through 12. He was also the former Kainalu Little League president and had been the assistant varsity basketball coach at Kalaheo High School for several years.

He was convicted in October 2002 of the sexual assault and kidnapping of a 12-year-old Kaneohe boy, who reported being sexually assaulted for several months.

He was sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment and paroled in 2009. His sentence ended in 2012.
