A former San Jose high school coach whose twin brother was arrested last week on child porn charges is facing similar charges after his arrest Tuesday, according to the San Jose Police Department.

An investigation into Pappadakis' activity was launched in September after San Jose detectives received a relayed report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, police said.

Pappadakis, who was a track and field coach at Oak Grove High School in San Jose, is the twin brother of Clifford Pappadakis, a former teacher and coach at Willow Glen Middle School who was arrested on child porn and molestation charges Feb. 14, police said.
