Creve Coeur, MO (KSDK) - There are allegations out of Creve Coeur involving child pornography and a former employee of the Creve Coeur Racquet Club.

Creve Coeur police say their investigation led them to a man at the club whom federal officers were already investigating. Those who worked at the club say they were shocked.

Police say last week employees at the private club off Conway, discovered what they believed to be child pornography on a company computer.

The employees brought the computer to police, and their investigation led them to a man already under investigation by federal authorities.

Sources say that man is Matthew LaGrotta, and court documents show he was charged with possession of child pornography this past October, in federal court.

We don't know exactly what LaGrotta's role was at the club, only that he no longer works there as of this past week.

The U.S. Attorney could not confirm a second investigation in to LaGrotta besides the one from last October where he was charged.
