I am trying to reach dd on west coast to get more info.

Does he live alone?

Not sure. He was always such a good-seeming guy. Yikes!

Some more info from Whitman's paper:

The victim was 17 when it started.

I’m so sorry. My Blair crew DD rowed last in 2011 and didn’t recall him, but said the sport attracts “touchy coaches AND DADS” (her text) 😫

Any time a coach is also an academic teacher, you can be sure they're bad news.

Google Wheaton, IL teachers and rape. That is the school system I went to. My middle school PE teacher raped my classmate, followed her to HS and continued raping and impregnated her and I guess she aged out and he went for her little sister. Then, she finally spoke out and he was charged. I had a health teacher who groped and fondled the cute blondes in my class. I told my Mom and complained and she confronted admin and they removed me and 5 other students who complained. Nothing was done about the teacher. I worked with Bremer, a middle school teacher charged with child porno and suspected nothing. This is a pervasive problem and I see no action being taken. Castrate these mf' ers.

Link?

The frequency with which this happens really makes me question anyone in these positions. Sad but true.

Coaches in MCPS are treated differently, especially if they’re well liked. Maybe people are in denial or don’t want their child to lose out on an opportunity to play, I don’t know. It makes no sense to me, but people will go nuts to protect a coach. I’m sure it’s not just the Whitman cluster.

My daughter has friends on the crew team. I can confirm that they were not surprised. Apparently he also had a pattern of grooming girls and texting them individually to complain about other girls. Disgusting.

What if a female teacher has erect nipples? Do we film that?

Yikes - and apparently no one did anything about it.

What??? Please elaborate as a public service, for the welfare of our kids.

Why did it take so long to arrest him when the alleged crimes took place back in 2018? Did the victim just come forward recently?
