   SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- San Francisco parents are disturbed after   
   a swim instructor was arrested on child pornography charges.   
   Nicholas Hodges, 28, was arrested last month and appeared in   
   court on Wednesday.   
      
   ABC7 News is now learning new details from the parents of some   
   of his students.   
      
   Hodges appeared in court for the second time since he was   
   arrested. He was arraigned and pleaded not guilty to child porn   
   charges. The SFPD is still investigating this case to see if he   
   actually harmed any child he came into contact with.   
      
   Police say so far, they've found no evidence that children of a   
   popular swim school were harmed, but one parents says his child   
   may have become a victim if he had not been arrested.   
      
   Hodges' parents came to court on Wednesday, their handcuffed son   
   acknowledging them with a smile.   
      
   John Tighe was also in court. "It was really disturbing to hear   
   what happened," he said.   
      
   Hodges taught Tighe's 6-year-old how to swim at Le Petite Baleen   
   Swim School for the past two years.   
      
   Parents liked and trusted him. Hodges had also been with kids at   
   the House of Air trampoline park, right next door to the swim   
   school. He has worked there for several years.   
      
   The charging documents say he had more than 600 files of child   
   porn on his computer and cellphone, including explicit videos of   
   children as young as 2 years old.   
      
   Hodges was arrested at the swim school in April after an   
   investigation by the Internet Crimes Against Children task force.   
      
   The school issued a statement saying, "The SFPD has not found   
   evidence linking any of our students to the charges against   
   Hodges."   
      
   But Tighe, and perhaps other parents, may have dodged a bullet.   
      
   "This person that we had trusted greatly, who only a couple days   
   before he was arrested had solicited to come babysit for our 6-   
   year-old," Tighe said. He said this is what Hodges told his   
   child: "I'll come over maybe on a Friday night and babysit for   
   you and then I can do magic tricks."   
      
   As Tighe says, he trusted Hodges to teach his son to swim in   
   deep water so why would he not have trusted him to babysit.
