These actions fit a larger longtime pattern: On multiple occasions, USA Gymnastics “ignored credible reports of abuse, and essentially operated to block or delay any action on those reports.” It “stifled” responses, repeatedly failed to follow up on complaints, demanded victims go through unreasonable procedures, and its “files contain inexplicable gaps in investigations.” Worst of all, USAG provided legal counsel to victims, only for its lawyers to turn around and become adversaries to them in legal proceedings, using the information it had acquired about the strength of their cases.

The investigators tried to ask Jack Swarbrick, the longtime former counsel for USA Gymnastics, about this pattern, which looks suspiciously like a calculated strategy to undermine and discourage victims. But he refused to be interviewed. He remains in hiding behind his athletic director’s desk at Notre Dame.
