Susan Woessner, the director of USA Swimming's Safe Sport initiative, resigned Thursday amid a sexual abuse scandal that has enveloped the organization.
According to Swimming World, Woessner wrote in her resignation letter that she once kissed former coach Sean Hutchison, who was recently accused of sexual assault by former Olympian Ariana Kukors, and did not disclose that information before she was involved in an investigation regarding his conduct.
Specifically, Woessner wrote her "role was to provide contact information for potential witnesses to the investigator, provide status updates from outside legal to then-executive director Chuck Wielgus, and at the request of outside legal, contact potential witnesses and ask them to speak with the investigator.
