Coach related to the Rockstar Cheer investigations arrested​

Trigger/content warning: This content contains topics like suicide and sexual misconduct. Please skip reading this if you need to.

A former Rockstar Cheer athlete + coach, and Designed Athletics coach has been arrested. It's uncertain if this arrest has any connection to the Rockstar case, because sources report evidence pointing in both directions:

Here’s what FITSNews reported:

“Multiple sources close to this ongoing investigation confirmed the detention of 26-year old Constantine George Madeckas of Greenville, South Carolina on Thursday morning (March 7, 2024). According to our sources, Madeckas was detained in Greenville County by agents of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) special investigations unit (HSI). These agents also reportedly executed a search warrant for Madeckas’ electronic devices in connection with his detention.
At least one industry source reported Madeckas had been arrested, however we have yet to obtain any official confirmation of federal charges being filed against him.
It’s not immediately clear how Madeckas’ detention is tied to the Rockstar Cheer saga, but two law enforcement sources confirmed the federal inquiries into him originated from searches of Scott Foster’s electronic devices in the aftermath of his suicide a year-and-a-half ago.”
