These guys are all in trouble. Reporting sexual crimes against minors is required by law.
Just look at the Penn State fiasco. How many guys were fired, fined, and sued for not reporting? Even the President of the University.
If it turns out that the coach and other adults had knowledge and didn’t act on it, I hope the Ohio High School Sports Association (or whatever it’s called) says no football for 5 years. Maybe then the residents of this town can quit depending on 16 and 17 year-old boys to fulfill their sense of self-worth as a community. Besides, I keep hearing how down - and - out this town is. How the hell can they afford 19 football coaches?

Good point. It will probably even be worse, as the coach (and other adults) here are not part of a victim group (i.e., gays) as was the attacker at Penn State. That coach is toast.
