Penn State University president Eric Barton today told Concussion Inc. that the university would not discuss the circumstances surrounding the dismissal of an assistant swimming coach in 2010, more than a year before the Jerry Sandusky molestation scandal broke.<\/p>\n

“Any personnel matters are considered confidential and we do not comment on them,” Barton spokeswoman Lisa Powers said in an email.<\/p>\n

Yesterday we reported that King served a year on the staff of then head swimming coach John Hargis before Hargis axed him upon learning that Barton was sleeping with one of his swimmers.<\/p>\n

In his native Australia, King is under investigation by the national swimming authority for multiple sexual abuse allegations and falsifying his r\u00e9sum\u00e9.<\/p>\n

How does the King matter affect the (so far extremely weak) probe by Congressional Democrats of USA Swimming abuses and cover-ups? In the next post, we’ll count the ways.<\/p>\n
