Although the report was Nassar-focused, it’s clear USAG

In reply to: Ropes & Gray's report re USAG (Nassar-focused)  posted by Bruno95


Was systematically ill-equipped to process and monitor sexual abuse allegations. This was never just a Nassar problem. The Indy Star report discussed a range of coaching allegations dating back decades and spanning the country.

The questions are pretty narrow at this point. We know the span of time runs back to the 1990s. We know allegations reported to USAG were treated as hearsay and not further reported. We know counsel for the USAG assisted in reviewing sexual abuse allegations and in writing and revising reporting policies. We know USAG’s law firm was Baker Daniels/Faegre Baker Daniels. We know Swarbrick was one of USAG’s lawyers and at one point was described as their chief counsel. We know that when this connection became news, Swarbrick’s ND bio was scrubbed of the USAG reference.

The questions the lawyers are refusing to answer are not ones they can duck forever. Here are the policies: who were the lawyers who wrote these? Here are the reports filed with the organization: which lawyers reviewed them?
