At least none of the alleged victims were noted as being HIV positive. That's a plus.

I just don't understand how this isn't caught right away after the first few victims.

Not every victim reports (the vast majority do not)

Of those that report, not everyone is believed

It's even worse when it's someone like your coach that you are meant to be able to trust. Then kids are scared about being kicked off of the team (kids that may have sports as their favorite outlet or may be relying on getting an athletic scholarship)

Lots of stuff at play. It was only discovered because a parent saw text messages. It wasn't even a child speaking up.

Bonus points because school athletics are often glorified to such a point that allegations against a coach will be actively covered up.

Given that similar things have happened a few times now, I didn't realize it was a more recent story. But yeah, it's all kinds of fucked up.

In general, it's just one more reason to ban sports from schools.

For athletics *other* than track, though... Nobody is making a big deal out of track meets.

That reasoning is terrible. A pilot got drunk and crashed a plane, this is just another reason we should shut down the flight industry
