Sexual Abuse of American Athletes

    Another sexual abuse scandal has arisen among American Olympic athletes and their coaches.  USA Swimming has reportedly covered up hundreds of abuse cases over the past 10 years, according to an investigative report released by The Orange County Register.

    The numbers are staggering.  In the last 20 years since the main person in charge of regulating the abuse was in place, "252 swim coaches and officials have been arrested, charged by prosecutors, or disciplined by USAS for sexual abuse..."  And recently starting in 2010, the organization has kept a watch-list of people within the coaching community who have been charged by policy for sexual abuse, including rape and child pornography.
    The amazing piece of this story is how the MSM has failed to report on it.  The OC Register published this article on February 16, 2018.  This is certainly a bigger story than the US gymnastics team doctor and his alleged abuse.  Why is there no front page news?  Why are there no town hall meetings regarding the sexual abuse of minors?  And why are there so many dirt bag baby-touchers allowed around our kids?
