USA Swimming is again in hot water for alleged sexual abuse by San Jose area coaches. Jancy Thompson, a former professional swimmer now claims that her coach sexually abused her while she was training to become and Olympian athlete. This comes on the heels of the capture of another swim coach who is alleged to have sexually abused on his trainees some eight years ago (see my last post below).
Thompson, a scholarship graduate from Arizona State and now resident of the South Bay, claims that Norman Hovercroft abused her at his place of work in Saratoga. Thompson has filed suit with USA Swimming, which has come under fire for past alleged past claims of sexual abuse by its trainers. More than four dozen coaches and trainers have been listed has abusers, although it is unclear if all have been prosecuted.
