Lawsuit alleges USOPC and USSS knew of coach’s behaviorPhotograph: Bob Thomas/Bob Thomas Sports Photography/Getty ImagesPhotograph: Bob Thomas/Bob Thomas Sports Photography/Getty ImagesOlympic bronze medalist Rosey Fletcher has filed a lawsuit accusing former snowboard coach Peter Foley of sexually assaulting, harassing and intimidating members of his team for years, while the organizations overseeing the team did nothing to stop it.
The lawsuits describe Foley as fostering a depraved travel squad of snowboarders, in which male coaches shared beds with female athletes, crude jokes about sexual conquests were frequently shared and coaches frequently commented to the female athletes about their weight and body types. Foley’s attorney, Howard Jacobs, did not immediately return requests for comment from The Associated Press. Jacobs has previously said allegations of sexual misconduct against Foley are false.
