You are right. According to the WaPo article, at https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/rowing-coach-shipley-abuse-charges/2021/08/24/1ac67bca-0504-11ec-8c3f-3526f81b233b_story.html

".... the criminal complaint identifies a second student who told police she had a sexual relationship with Shipley starting in 2013, after she had graduated but while she was 17."

And the reports (previous PPs) that other girls on the team aren't surprised, or even knew? He probably oozed smarmy behavior....uggh. Sadly, predators can maneuver in ways that make everyone know something's off (and indicating that something is truly wrong somewhere), but can't put their finger on it.  Especially for teens...they are trusting and respectful of adults/authority figures and it would probably take a lot more for them to have the courage to call someone out (eg report to parents) based on suspicion alone.

I can't open the DC courts link. Is it just my browser? [/quote]
