“In 2003, Rick Curl was elected President of ASCA…. At the time of his election, a large number of member coaches were well aware of his alleged relationship with Kelley Davies. (By ‘relationship,’ I mean his criminal interactions with his young teenage swimmer, in which he engaged in statutory rape for a number of years.) This scandal was plenty well known in swimming circles, as was the hush money Curl paid to the Davies family. It was so well known that many coaches feared they would be sued by Curl if they mentioned it; something he apparently indicated he was prepared to do.”
