Also, are we talking perving with a 17 year old girl who looks like she’s 24? That is of course completely wrong for a million reasons, but perving with an eight year old is whole nuther level of f’ed up.
I’d agree that when abuse does occur by a swim coach, the 16-17 year old “relationship” is more typical of what goes wrong with swim coaches. I’ve heard that story of few times and that is how one of my kids’ coaches ended up in prison. And, then there is the guy who never gets accused of anything but marries the 22 year old he has been coaching since she was 12. But, having been around swimming in one form or another for 45 years, I have never heard anything like taking pictures in the locker room of 8 year old boys and putting them up on a Russian child porn site (local story involving a camp counselor) or the Penn State type of locker room abuse of young boys. I will say that knowing several swim coaches, they are extremely vigilant about avoiding even the appearance of impropriety. It is a huge issue that has very high attention with any decent coach.
Anyone with kids who puts them in the care of another human needs to be aware and vigilant. There are bad people out there!
