The mother of two of the victims reported to the Post that she was warned by a neighbor that there had been a previous claim of sexual abuse against this man.
And yet she chose to leave her daughter and son alone with him while she took a nap and her husband went shopping.
Read:
"The mother also told detectives that in June, a month before her children came forward, a neighbor had warned her that a girl around her daughter’s age had reported Mahony for sexual abuse in 2023. The mother said she discussed the allegations with her husband. Her husband told detectives that they had decided to give Mahony the “benefit of the doubt.” "
This is not normal behavior.
I can't get past this. WTF??!!
I wish I hadn’t read the WaPo article with the mother saying she walked in on her child with the man, and was so shocked she just shut the door and went back to the living room. holy $hit. She just left her kid in there. I’m speechless.

Why? What on earth would they say? They don’t background check entire families before allowing Swimmers into the program. They have no culpability so why would they comment?
The club could have said that it was deeply saddened to learn about the allegations and has zero tolerance for sexual exploitation. They could have also pointed out that the club has taken a number of steps to keeps its swimmers safe such as becoming safesport recognized, not letting parents or other spectators into practice facilities or locker rooms, etc.
Disagree. As a parent, those sentiments and ideas are either already known or unnecessary. Does any organization tolerate any level of sexual exploitation? We get all the safesport notifications (and all watched videos that helped get the certification) and we know the policies on viewing practice and bring on deck from other communications. And saying they are deeply saddened is assumed.

Investigators are still asking additional victims to report Thomas Mahony’s inappropriate behavior.
This monster needs to be locked up for as long as possible, as these perpetrators never stop doing what they do.

Thomas Mahony’s son last swam for ASA on July 20, 2025. Very recently. That was Long Course PVS Champs. I wonder if Thomas Mahony was at that meet. It was right before his arrest.
The recent Washington Post article says there’s a 4th victim. I wonder if that 4th victim is part of Mahony’s kids’ apartment building, ASA, MVP, or former public school community.

(2) take a nap while leaving their child in a suspicious man’s custody, and then **bring gin** up (on a Saturday afternoon) to drink with defendant;
(3) allow him to return to a bedroom alone with the young girl even after coming back to his apartment from napping;
(4) let their daughter sit in another man’s lap!!!!;
(5) literally walk in on the child sitting on the man’s head and just WALK AWAY!!! WTF!!!!
This whole thing sounds like some type of orgy or throuple or affair while the kids are getting sexually abused. I hope they are doing fitness tests for the parents, who exercised remarkable negligence as well.
This mama heart is fully broken for these babies, and I can’t reconcile any of the decisions the parents made.
The victims (little children!!!) have a public YouTube account. What the hell is wrong with the parents? All of this is insane. Maybe there is a lot more going on here than reported in the charging documents. Those poor babies. I hope there is a GAL appointed.
It’s still up as of today. Yes, the mom knows and hasn’t taken the channel, showing her two little children, down. Disgusting.
Which children? The perpetrators kids or victims? Confused.
Victims
Why are you looking at a kids YouTube channel?!
Why are these kids on YouTube?!

That’s my take-away from this! WTF on those parents?! Especially when the parents acknowledged he was showing a special interest in the child!
There’s a local parent who got arrested for having an inappropriate sexual relationship with his client. He was a psychologist and client was under age. My children are at the same schools as this person‘s children. Another parent in the friend group said they didn’t want to hear anything about it because it was gossip. This person spent time in jail. It was not gossip, there were news articles. I cannot believe they wanted to bury her head under the sand. Now that person‘s daughter is the same age as the person who he an inappropriate relationship with. I wonder if she allows her daughter over to his house because hes back living in the community.

Started one in General Parenting Discussion. Great idea, thank you.
My apologies for the long opening text.
Please add to it. We must protect our children. Together we can keep educating ourselves.
