So, given the law of averages and our experience, there must be tens of thousands of girls who are abused by coaches nationwide.

I mean, I know of two, and I'm from nowheresville.

I know three individuals in my life who were raped by Priests. Three different boys. Three parishes. Three different time frames (The 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.)

I felt the same way: If “I” knew three legitimate victims, how many must be out there that never talk.

I saw a coach abuse a girl, and didn’t know it. I was an adult watching my son be coached, and no one laid a hand on him. But the girls coach was coaching a promising 10 year old girl on the high bar, and he was catching her by the crotch each time he had to catch her and Get her safely to the ground. He grabbed her by the upper back armpit area with one hand and the other hand under her buttocks, in front of maybe 40-50 people many times each day. And I remarked to the person I was sitting with that “it’s a good thing Coach Peters (real name) isn’t a pedo, look how he catches her.” I actually thought that must be the safest way to catch a small child being flung at top centrifugal force.

Later there was a huge expose on how he has abused many of his girls over the years, and USA Gymnastics has forbid him any contact with any of their gyms (which he still secretly profits from anyway since his son runs it). So he was getting his jollies at every catch.
