Sexual abuse reported in US Gymnastics
At least 368 gymnasts in the United States have alleged some form of sexual abuse over the past 20 years, a joint investigation by the Indianapolis Star and USA Today has revealed. The nine-month investigation into police files and court documents found hundreds of cases of alleged sexual abuse by a total of 115 coaches and other adults they worked with, and systematic failures which enabled accused coaches to relocate to other gyms. Nearly all of the victims were girls. One coach was found to have made 469 videos of 49 gymnasts he coached, all girls from eight to 16 years old, using secret cameras he placed in changing rooms.
