US: How USA Gymnastics protected coaches over kids (Opinion)

US: How USA Gymnastics protected coaches over kids (Opinion)
Indianapolis Star – August 03, 2016
Top executives at one of America’s most prominent Olympic organizations failed to alert authorities to many allegations of sexual abuse by coaches – relying on a policy that enabled predators to abuse gymnasts long after USA Gymnastics had received warnings. An IndyStar investigation uncovered multiple examples of children suffering the consequences, including a Georgia case in which a coach preyed on young female athletes for seven years after USA Gymnastics dismissed the first of four warnings about him.
