Hundreds of court documents and police files show that at least 368 child gymnasts have alleged sexual assault by gym owners, coaches, and staff working for gymnastics programs across the country in the last two decades, according to a major report from IndyStar.
Not only did top officials at USA Gymnastics—the Olympic arm of the sport—fail to report many of the allegations to police, but in some cases, its lack of systematic oversight allowed predatory coaches and staff to move from one gym to the next.
The report, which was the result of a nine-month investigation, details troubling allegations of adults engaging in sex with minors, molestation, and nude photographs being taken of children as young as six without their knowledge. In one case, a coach was allegedly forcing a 14-year-old gymnast into sex on a daily basis at one of the country’s most prestigious gyms.
USA Gymnastics released a statement to IndyStar saying, “USA Gymnastics is proud of the work it has done to address and guard against child sexual abuse.”
According to the paper, the organization hired a special prosecutor to assist in strengthening its policies back in August, and it’s also helping to develop a new program, called US Center for SafeSport, which will help investigate claims of sexual abuse across Olympic programs.
Unfortunately sexual assault on both Boys and Girls is more common than people think
But the left doesn’t want to talk about the changes in our society that have made this more “common” and in some circles even acceptable. I suggest the following have contributed to the atmosphere:
1. Destruction of the family
2. War against faith and morality
3. Loss of respect for human life
4. Abortion as birth control
5. Altering word definitions to create acceptance of the narrative of the day; blurring gender lines
6. Romanticizing drug and alcohol use.
7. Some form of porn everywhere we (even young children) look.
8. Labeling anyone with values as “other”
9. Failing to adequately educate and train our children; eliminating winners…excellence…competition and imposing an everyone wins mentality
10. War on men
11. War on whites
12. War on police officers…war on upholding the law!
