CALDWELL, Idaho — Caldwell High School football coach Kip Crofts is behind bars for sexual abuse of a child under 16 following an arrest by the Nampa Police Department.
59-year-old Kip Crofts started coaching for Caldwell High School in 2023, according to a Facebook post from the Caldwell School District welcoming him.
It is not clear if Kip Crofts is the current coach for Caldwell High School. Idaho News 6 has reached out for clarification. As of Thursday morning, Crofts is no longer listed on the school's directory.
Nampa Police say they were able to arrest Crofts without incident while he was arriving for his job as a custodian at the Nampa Development Services Office. Police say the City of Nampa was unaware that Crofts was under investigation, adding that he passed the city's pre-hire background check at the beginning.
Investigators believe that Crofts may have additional victims, so anyone with information is urged to contact their local police department.
