Wayne Kuklinski Guilty
Posted by: Webmaster in Coaches, Drivers Ed, Hall of Shame, High Schools, Illinois, ME-CP, ME-IS-FVWayne Kuklinski, 59, a former football coach and driving teacher at Lake Zurich High School in Zurich, Illinois has pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography.
Kuklinski was arrested in December after authorities found child pornography on two computers in his home in Ingleside, Illinois.
Authorities searched Kuklinski’s computers at school but found no evidence of inappropriate use, Fix said. Kuklinski got the attention of a Highland Park police officer last summer when he sent a lewd image to the officer, who was posing online as a teenage girl, authorities said.
Following his guilty plea today Kuklinski was sentenced to 6 days in jail, 2 years’ probation, his use of the Internet will be restricted to looking for a job, he must stay at least 200 feet away from Lake Zurich Unit District 95 schools and is not allowed to have any contact with minors except his grandchildren.
Kuklinski also agreed to make a $500 contribution to the Lake County Children’s Advocacy Center.
Update 06/09/07
A second source, listed below, indicates that Kuklinski was sentenced to 8 days in jail following his guilty plea. We have no explanation for the discrepancy in the sentence or the spelling of the man’s name.

A famous quote from Wayne Kuklinski “DON’T THINK”. I guess he took his words to heart.

His Son’s name was TODD… He is supposed to be a lot like his old man! He works in a prominent community just south of Lake Zurich, go figure.

I couldn’t agree more with Jon. When I found out that he was arrested I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face for days. He personnally picked on me and looked the other way as his bully son and his friends picked on me too. Several years after I graduated I saw wayne at a LZ restaruant. When I passed by him, he made sure to go out of his way to bump his shoulder into my shoulder very hard. Nice guy. Never even said excuse me. Public record will forever record that Wayne Kuklinski pled gulity to possession of child porn and likes to chat on-line with under age girls. I hope Todd is smart enough to keep his kids away from Grandpa.

This could not have happened to a nicer guy. I’ve been out of high school for over 20 years ago, and even back then it was rumored he liked to chase the little girls; the truth has finally came out. If you were not a “barbie doll” or a football super jock, coach K had no time for you. The man was very arrogent and liked to mess with other students, I can even recall an incident where he was picking on a cognatively challenged student. He was the high school’s biggest bully! HE GOT WHAT HE DESERVED!!!!!!
