Kidnapping charges: Omegle chat meet-up turned into nightmare in Burnsville basement

Charges filed against Thursday against Twin Cities metro sports coach Casey Lee Chinn detail two weeks of sexual online chats and text messages with a pair of 13-year-old girls who were reported missing from Andover, Minn. on Monday.

Police found the girls Tuesday morning, crying and "huddled behind a couch" in the basement of Chinn's home in Burnsville, Minn. Perhaps the most unbelievable aspect of the criminal complaint against Chinn is that he allegedly had the girls in basement because he lived with his parents who were upstairs.

Chinn, 23, is charged with 6 counts of criminal sexual conduct, kidnapping and solicitation.

According to the charges, Chinn told investigators he met the 13-year-old girls on the website Omegle -- free online chat website that randomly links users with strangers. The site requires no registration. The last chat on Omegle arranged for chin to pick-up the girls in Andover and drive around before going to his home in Burnsville. 

“This is a very serious crime. A crime that all of us fear -- that all parents fear," said Anoka County Attorney Tony Palumbo.

Chinn's bail is set at $300,000.

Sources told Fox 9 that Chinn serves as a volleyball coach at Christo Rey Jesuit High School in Minneapolis. This past winter, Chinn was named as a volunteer baseball coach in the South Washington County School District. District officials confirmed he served as the junior varsity volunteer baseball coach at East Ridge High School during the 2014 season after they ran a background check and reviewed his references.

"We are extremely concerned to hear of this issue from our law enforcement community and will act swiftly and accordingly to ensure the safety and well-being of our students," Superintendent Keith Jacobus vowed.
