For several years, Mr. Capparelli operated a porn website featuring young men wrestling, The Star-Ledger reported. Mr. Capparelli had been accused in lawsuits of groping teenage boys, asking them to wrestle and photographing them in compromising positions while wearing swimsuits. Mr. Fitter said Mr. Capparelli recruited young men “with a certain look” — clean cut and athletic — for the club, befriending them and taking them to the movies or out for pizza. He made the boys wrestle in Speedo swimsuits, saying that they risked getting caught on loose fabric and injuring themselves, Mr. Fitter said. “The world is a better place and a safer place now,” Mr. Fitter said.
