OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - Federal investigators are trying to connect with anyone who may have been a victim of sex assault as a child while attending a dance studio in Sarpy County.

FBI Omaha is looking for any victims who attended The Dance Authority, a dance studio located near 180th and Harrison streets, from 2011 to the present.

The outreach comes after news broke that the former co-owner of the dance studio, Nicholas Murphy, a former NFL punter who had most recently been working as a high school football coach in Arizona, was facing federal charges of child sex assault.

Agents with the Omaha FBI worry there may be more female victims as he had been the co-owner of the dance studio from 2012 to 2022. The defendant sold the business in the last year and moved to Scottsdale, Ariz., with his family.

“What I have made clear to our families that are here is the Murphy family has not been affiliated with The Dance Authority since the sale of the business — and that was a year-and-a-half ago,” Bray said.

Meanwhile, a federal judge has ordered Murphy to surrender his passport and quit his job as a football coach at an Arizona high school while he awaits trial since he is not to have contact with any minors. Judge Bazis did allow him to continue working in Arizona and to travel to conferences on the West Coast for his job — Murphy told the court that he was a software sales executive and a real estate agent recruiter — as long as he lets pre-trial services know about it.

Our partners at 6 News asked Murphy for a comment on Wednesday, but he declined.

The Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office is assisting in the investigation.
