Krimsky Fills In at U.S.O.C.
Published: August 17, 1994
John Krimsky Jr., a master of the multimillion-dollar sponsorship deal, was chosen as interim executive director of the United States Olympic Committee yesterday. Krimsky, deputy secretary general and chief fund-raiser who has been with the U.S.O.C. since 1986, was picked in a conference call of the committee's executive board. Starting Oct. 1, he takes over for Harvey Schiller, who is leaving the U.S.O.C.'s top operating post to become president of Turner Sports.
A panel to find a permanent successor for Schiller will be appointed by Sept. 16, but there is no deadline for filling the job, according to the U.S.O.C.'s president, LeRoy Walker. Potential candidates include Jack Kelly, president of the Goodwill Games; Donna Lopiano, executive director of the Women's Sports Foundation; Mike Jacki, president of U.S. Skiing; Jerry Lace, executive director of the United States Figure Skating Association, and Steve Hatchell, Southwest Conference commissioner.
Krimsky's fund-raising efforts have strengthened the U.S.O.C. budget, which showed $388 million in revenues and a $45 million surplus.

John Krimsky And His Wife, Susan, Named In Court Documents
Published June 29, 2001
YankeeNets Properties President John Krimsky — the former USOC Deputy Exec Dir of Marketing — and his wife, Susan, have been named in court documents filed by defense attorneys for former Salt Lake City Olympic bid execs Tom Welch and Dave Johnson, whose bribery trial is scheduled to start July 30, according to Meri-Jo Borzilleri of the CO Springs GAZETTE. The attorneys said that Susan Krimsky, after a four-year business relationship with '02 Olympics hospitality sponsor Jet Set Sports President Sead Dizdarevic, was paid $225,000 by Dizdarevic when he bought her company in '95. The business dealings and purchase "occurred at a time when John Krimsky was making decisions about contracts between the USOC and several Dizdarevic companies." Dizdarevic "has been granted immunity" by the U.S. Justice Department. Krimsky did not return calls seeking comment (CO Springs GAZETTE, 6/29).

FORMER USOC EXECUTIVE FACES CHILD PORN CHARGES
by BRIAN GOMEZ
The former marketing director of the U.S. Olympic Committee has been arrested on child pornography charges.
John F. Krimsky Jr., 68, of Southbury, Conn., appeared Monday in Danbury Superior Court, charged with four felony counts that carry prison terms.
He is charged with two counts of promoting a minor in an obscene performance, one count of possession of child pornography and one count of attempted possession of child pornography in the first degree.
Connecticut state police took Krimsky into custody Friday after a two-plus-year investigation into his alleged child porn dealings. Krimsky is free on $50,000 bond. His next court appearance is Dec. 20.
In 13 years with the Colorado Springs-based USOC, Krimsky drastically expanded the organization's marketing programs. During his tenure, the USOC raised $2 billion in sponsorship money and increased its annual budget by more than $300 million.
Friends of Krimsky called him "The Tank" because of his hard stance with Olympic sponsors. In a 1994 article in The New York Times, New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, who was then a USOC vice president, said, "I call him the miracle man. I'd say he's probably the most essential part of the Olympic movement."
Krimsky served as USOC marketing director from 1986 to 1999, save for a 1994-95 stint as interim executive director. After he left the USOC, he served as chief marketing officer for YankeeNets, now known as Yankee Global Enterprises, the holding company of the Yankees and the YES Network.
In recent years, Krimsky worked as managing director for strategic alliances of New York sports management firm Loring Ward Group Inc. and served as vice chairman of Salus Healthcare International, a California company that operates ambulatory surgical centers.
Krimsky and his wife, Sue Ann, could not be reached for comment. Their Connecticut attorney, Paul Garlasco, declined comment. USOC spokesman Darryl Seibel said, "We're not commenting on the matter."
According to an affidavit filed in Connecticut Superior Court, computers seized from Krimsky's home revealed 329 pictures of male and female children ages 5-15, "either posing or involved in different sexual acts."
The affidavit stated Krimsky sent two pictures of himself -- one of him naked below the waist -- to Allen and Margaret Segur, a Connecticut couple. Asked if she had time for comment, Margaret Segur said, "Unfortunately, I don't. I'm going out right now."
The road to Krimsky's arrest began Sept. 7, 2004, when Connecticut police received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The affidavit stated the tip indicated a sexually explicit image of an underage female had been sent to an unspecified party by the Segurs.
After analyzing the Segurs' computers, the FBI office in New Haven, Conn., determined Krimsky had sent multiple e-mails containing images of child porn to the Segurs.
The affidavit provides text of three e-mails Krimsky sent to the Segurs on Aug. 1, 2004. One reads, "Sons and dads chat room was my best source but be careful." Another reads, "I had to dump because someone was chasing me because of some of my (younger pictures). Guess better safe than sorry, but I do miss" the pictures.
In March, Connecticut police confirmed through forensic tests that Krimsky's computers contained child porn, nearly 18 months after they executed a search warrant at his previous home in Sherman, Conn.
According to the affidavit, Krimsky was in New York when Connecticut police raided his home. He told police by phone he canceled his two America Online accounts in question. He also told police he "had never sent any images that he hadn't gotten from someone else."

Former USOC official Krimsky pleads not guilty to child-porn charges
Associated Press
DANBURY, Conn. -- A former top fundraiser for the U.S. Olympic Committee faces child pornography charges in Connecticut.
John F. Krimsky Jr., 68, pleaded not guilty in state court Monday to four counts, including promoting a minor in an obscene performance, criminal attempt at possession of child pornography and third-degree possession of child pornography.
The arrest resulted from a 2005 tip from the New York Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, which prompted an investigation that found Krimsky had traded child pornography images with another person, state police said.
Investigators seized his home computers and found 329 images that appeared to be child pornography. Some were of children who appeared to be between ages 5 to 15 posing or involved in sexual acts, according to a warrant for his arrest.
He was released on $50,000 bond and is due back in court Dec. 20.
Investigators found that an e-mail address registered to Krimsky was used to send images of children engaged in sexual acts to a Wallingford couple's e-mail address. Investigators found similar images on that couple's computer.
According to the warrant, messages also were sent from Krimsky's address to the Wallingford couple, including "Sons and dads chat room was my best source but be careful..." and "I had to dump because someone was chasing me because of some my yngr pics. Guess better safe than sorry, but I do miss the pics smile."
John F. Krimsky Jr., of Heritage Village, was taken into custody by Connecticut State Police on Friday and accused of trading graphic images with a man in Wallingford. The images depict children, male and female, whose estimated ages range from 5 to 15 years old, engaged in sexual activity with each other and with adults, court documents allege.
Krimsky, who previously lived in Sherman, pleaded not guilty Monday in Danbury Superior Court, where he faces two counts of promoting a minor in an obscene performance, attempted posession of child pornography in the first degree, and third-degree possession of child pornography.
All the charges are felonies, and the most severe, promoting a minor in an obscene performance, carries a potential sentence of 1 to 20 years in prison on conviction.
Krimsky couldn't be reached for comment Wednesday. No one answered the door at his Southbury home, and there is no telephone listing in his name. His attorney, Paul Garlasco of New Milford, didn't return a call seeking comment on the case.
A state police spokesman refused to say whether the John Krimsky arrested Friday was the same individual once connected with the Olympic Committee, and later with YankeesNets, the partnership that owned the New York Yankees baseball team, hockey's New Jersey Devils and basketball's New Jersey Nets.
But court documents and an Internet search of public records for John Krimsky showed four addresses in common -- in Colorado, where the USOC is headquartered, in Hastings, N.Y., and in Sherman and Southbury. They also indicate a common birth date.
The charges against Krimsky resulted from a tip nearly three years ago from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, reporting that an Internet user in Wallingford had transmitted an e-mail containing an underage female in a sexually explicit pose.
State police raided the Wallingford man's house in November 2004 and seized several computers, according to an affidavit supporting Krimsky's arrest filed in Superior Court. An examination of more than 12,000 e-mails the man sent and received during the previous 16 months revealed several that contained child pornography, according to the affidavit.
Some of the e-mails were sent from an e-mail address registered to Krimsky in Hastings, N.Y., state police investigators eventually determined, according to the affidavit.
New York authorities told Connecticut investigators they also had been investigating Krimsky and that he no longer lived in Hastings, but had moved to Route 37 in Sherman. State police executed a search and seizure warrant there in November 2005, confiscating several computers, according to the affidavit.
A forensic analysis by the Connecticut Computer Crimes and Electronic Evidence Laboratory, completed in March, eventually located 329 images of child pornography, according to the affidavit. The images were then reviewed by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which determined that 27 of the pictures matched children identified in previous child sexual abuse investigations.
Krimsky is a former senior executive vice president with Pan American World Airways who went to work for the USOC in 1986. During his tenure, he was credited with generating more than $2 billion in revenue through deals with sponsors. He was consistently ranked in the top third of the 100 Most Powerful People in Sports compiled annually by the Sporting News.
In 1999, he left the USOC and joined YankeesNets.
Court documents list his current occupation as a self-employed consultant.
Krimsky is due back in court in Danbury on Dec. 20.

When investigators searched his house in 2005, Krimsky told them he was aware of two AOL accounts allegedly used to send or attempt to send pornographic images but had canceled them six months earlier, according to the warrant. He also said he had never sent any images that he had not gotten from someone else.
Several calls seeking comment were left with Krimsky's attorney. Krimsky's number is unlisted. A message seeking comment also was left with the U.S. Olympic Committee.
Krimsky was with the USOC from 1986 to 1999, when he resigned as the top marketing and fundraising official to return to private business.
He helped to raise $2 billion for U.S. Olympic programs and was at the center of efforts to bounce back from the Salt Lake City bid scandal.
In 2000, he was named president of YankeeNets Properties and chief marketing officer of YankeeNets, a merger between the Yankees and New Jersey Nets.

Former USOC marketing chief John Krimsky quits IOC panel following child porn charge
Posted 12/11/2007 1:03 PM | Comment | Recommend
LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — A former top U.S. Olympic Committee official resigned from an IOC commission following his arrest on child pornography charges.
John Krimsky, a former USOC marketing chief, pleaded not guilty in Danbury, Conn., on Dec. 3 to four counts, including promoting a minor in an obscene performance, criminal attempt at possession of child pornography and third-degree possession of child pornography.
The International Olympic Committee "took note" Tuesday of Krimsky's resignation from its Olympic Philately, Numismatic and Memorabilia Commission. The panel, chaired by former IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch, deals with Olympic stamps, coins and pins and other collectors' items.
Krimsky's resignation letter, dated Dec. 5, was sent to the IOC ethics commission. It was then forwarded to the IOC executive board. Krimsky was with the USOC from 1986-99, when he resigned to return to private business.
He helped raise $2 billion for U.S. Olympic programs and was at the center of efforts to bounce back from the Salt Lake City bid scandal. Krimsky negotiated with the IOC for the USOC's share of Olympic revenues.
In 2000, he was hired as president of YankeeNets Properties and chief marketing officer of YankeeNets, a merger between the New York Yankees and New Jersey Nets.
Krimsky's arrest resulted from a 2005 tip from the New York Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, which prompted an investigation that found he had traded child pornography images with another person, state police said.
Investigators seized his home computers and found 329 images that appeared to be child pornography. Some were of children who appeared to be between 5 and 15 posing or involved in sexual acts, according to a warrant for his arrest. He was released on $50,000 bond and is due back in court Dec. 20.

Ex-Olympic official asks for accelerated rehab
News-Times, The (Danbury, CT)
Published 08:00 p.m., Saturday, August 16, 2008
The man, John Krimsky, was sworn in before Judge Frank Iannotti and said he had never before used the probation program called accelerated rehabilitation.
Iannotti continued the case to Sept. 12. Krimsky will not be in court that day, but it will serve as a deadline for Krimsky's lawyers, Paul Garlasco and Norman Pattis, and State's Attorney Stephen Sedensky to file briefs in the case.
Iannotti will be serving as a judge elsewhere in the state by then, so the lawyers will coordinate a day when the judge can return to Danbury for a hearing on Krimsky's application after Sept. 12.
In court Friday, Sedensky said Krimsky should not be able to use the program.
"One, he's not eligible as the charges exist," Sedensky said. "And there's been a determination by the Office of Adult Probation that he is not eligible."
Pattis said the filings due Sept. 12 would speak to the matter of Krimsky's being able to use the program.
"My understanding is that this brief will address statutory eligibility as it relates to the charges," Pattis said.
Krimsky was charged last December with two counts of promoting a minor in an obscene performance and single counts of third-degree possession of child pornography and attempted first-degree possession of child pornography.
All the charges are felonies. They resulted from a tip nearly three years ago from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that an Internet user in Wallingford had transmitted an e-mail containing a photo of an underage female in a sexually explicit pose.
State police raided the Wallingford man's house in November 2004 and seized several computers, according to an affidavit supporting Krimsky's arrest filed in Superior Court.
An examination of more than 12,000 e-mails the man sent and received during the previous 16 months revealed several that contained child pornography, according to the affidavit.
Some of the e-mails were sent from an e-mail address registered to Krimsky in Hastings, N.Y., state police investigators eventually determined, according to the affidavit.
New York authorities told Connecticut investigators they had also been investigating Krimsky and that he no longer lived in Hastings, but had moved to Route 37 in Sherman. State police executed a search and seizure warrant there in November 2005, confiscating several computers, according to the affidavit.

Former USOC Marketing Chief Avoids Jail Time
1/16/2009
(ATR) John F. Krimsky, Jr., who raised $2.3 billion for the U.S. Olympic Committee as its marketing chief through the 1990s, avoids prison time despite pleading guilty to two child pornography charges in November.
Krimsky, 70, received a five-year suspended sentence during a hearing Friday in a Waterbury, Conn., court. He also received 10 years probation. Judge Frank Iannotti could have sentenced Krimsky to as long as three years in jail.
Clinton J. Roberts, a litigation consultant working with the defense team, said the decision came as a huge relief for Krimsky, who was arrested Nov. 30, 2007, on charges centering around Internet e-mails. The judge rejected Krimsky's request to join an accelerated rehabilitation program in November.
"It's far better walking out of court with him and seeing him smile for the first time in a while," Roberts told Around the Rings. "We were very pleased that the judge certainly looked at John's case at this point in time and decided that he had been punished enough."
Krimsky declined to comment.
Prosecutor Debbie Mabbett told ATR she was disappointed Krimsky received no jail time. She said Iannotti "had to weigh the seriousness of the offense -- which is very serious -- vs. the accomplishments he's had in his life.
"We may not have gotten the jail time we wanted," Mabbett added, "but he has to register as a sex offender, which is very important, so we can let everybody know so they can protect their children from people like him."
Krimsky pleaded guilty to one charge of promoting a minor in an obscene performance and one charge of attempting to commit illegal possession of child pornography in the second degree. Both are felonies. More than 300 images were found on Krimsky's computer when authorities searched for the period 2003-2005.
Roberts said the judge considered Krimsky's "sterling background and his significant efforts at rehabilitation.and his many, many unbelievable achievements. He said John probably achieved more in his life than anyone in the court had, and there were some fairly prominent defense attorneys there."
Roberts said Iannotti told the court about Krimsky's career in marketing, primarily with Pan American Airways and the USOC.
"He remarked about the incredible effort that he made and the money he raised for the U.S. Olympic Committee, and his extraordinary record helping young athletes," Roberts said.
Dr. Ernesto Mujica, a therapist from New York, testified at the hearing that Krimsky was not a risk to re-offend. Mujica has been counselling Krimsky for three years. Krimsky will continue therapy as a condition of the probation.
As another condition, Krimsky can only use his home computer, which has been installed with software that will prevent him from visiting pornographic sites. He is not allowed to use any other computers, or his probation would be revoked and he would be sent to prison.
Krimsky also may have no contact with minors.
"We got the satisfaction of having him have a criminal record," said Mabbett, a senior assistant state's attorney, "but I understand why the judge did what he did: His representation, the guy's age, all of his accomplishments. The case went back so many years, and that may have had a bearing. Since that time, he's done all sorts of counseling."
Krimsky , who was known as a hard-nosed negotiator, wants to continue working and has a wealth of marketing expertise.
"Hopefully John can move forward," Roberts said. "He's resilient. ... He can't go through this without being humiliated and a stigma is certainly attached to it.
"There are certain conditions and parameters that might prevent him from doing certain things, but I think for the most part, the judge encouraged him. He said being 70 is the new 50, and he thought that John had a lot more to contribute, and he said he was sure he would be able to do that."

To find out why the New York Yankees have become a private-label ISP, Inc. talked with John F. Krimsky. Formerly the marketing head of the U.S. Olympic Committee, Krimsky is president of YankeeNets Properties, the marketing arm of the holding company that owns the New York Yankees and basketball's New Jersey Nets. (At press time, YankeeNets was in the process of acquiring hockey's New Jersey Devils as well.)
Inc.: Baseball and Internet access -- what's the logic here?
Krimsky: I have to use every possible opportunity to communicate to our fan base. We're trying to enhance the close relationship that we've got with the avid fans who embrace the brand. We have to keep that person from moving to some competitive team.
Inc.: But what's the bottom-line business advantage to providing this service?
Krimsky: We're not making a profit on it.
...
Krimsky: Every member of the New York Yankees organization has a keen sense of the history and tradition.
Yikes! I have never understood or will ever understand the child porn obsession. But, this country seems to slap people on the hand & say no n, instead of punishing them. Once again, I am thankful that I do not have kids.
