An Indianapolis Star-USA Today investigation into sexual assault of young gymnasts has found hundreds of cases of athletes alleging abuse, as well as systematic failures that allowed abusive coaches to relocate to other gyms.
At least 368 gymnasts throughout the U.S. have alleged being the victim of some form of sexual abuse over the past 20 years, according to police files and court cases obtained throughout the nine-month investigation. A number of the victims were children and almost all of them were girls, according to the Indianapolis Star.
More than 100 coaches, gym owners and other adults connected to the sport have been accused of abuse.
