A jury could decide next week whether Scott Shaw was using legitimate medical treatment when he touched the private areas of female athletes.
SAN JOSE – Defense lawyers for San Jose State’s former head athletic director rested their case Friday, leaving only closing arguments next week before a jury decides whether Scott Shaw was using legitimate medical treatment when he touched the private areas of female athletes.
On Friday, defense lawyer Jeremy Blank attempted to undermine one of the more shocking allegations in the case – that while performing a hamstring stretch on a softball athlete Shaw pressed his erect penis against her groin. Blank’s expert witness, Dr. Brett DeGooyer – who is team physician for a rural Washington state community college – said it “was not mechanically possible” for that to happen unless both Shaw and the athlete were performing the splits.
Defense lawyers will likely reiterate during closing arguments what they said in their opening statements, that while Shaw failed to explain his treatment or seek consent, he could be accused of engaging in poor practices, but not sexual assault.
