CONCORD, N.H. — A jury has convicted a longtime youth baseball and hockey coach from New Hampshire of sexually assaulting two boys and videotaping some of the abuse.

U.S. Attorney John Kacavas said the 60-year-old Joubert ran the Seacoast Baseball Academy in York, Maine, where the investigation began in March 2012. Police found numerous young men who said Joubert abused them.
Kacavas says a search of his property uncovered photos and videos, including one of Joubert molesting a boy.
His lawyer, public defender Bjorn Lange, declined comment.
Joubert’s due to be sentenced Feb. 18.
