 <\/p>\n

Before there was Larry Nassar, who now claims the distinction of being one of the most prolific known molesters in human history, there was George Gibney — still the most notorious <\/span>at-large<\/span><\/i> sex criminal in global sports.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today the popular Irish podcast <\/span>Second Captains <\/span><\/i>featured an extended and invaluable discussion of the current two-continent campaign to force the extradition of Gibney, the former Irish Olympic head swimming coach who has been living in the United States since 1994.<\/span><\/p>\n

The interviewees were Maureen O’Sullivan, of Ireland’s parliamentary assembly, and Justine McCarthy, columnist for the <\/span>Sunday Times <\/span><\/i>of London and author of the book <\/span>Deep Deception: Ireland’s Swimming Scandals.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The podcast audio, currently at the members-only link “George Gibney Case 25 Years On — Fresh Push For Justice,” <\/span>http:\/\/www.secondcaptains.com\/2018\/02\/02\/episode-1077-george-gibney-case-25-years-fresh-push-justice\/<\/span><\/a>, follows my own shot last week on Newstalk Ireland’s <\/span>Off the Ball<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>http:\/\/www.offtheball.com\/Other-Sports\/How-did-George-Gibney-get-into-the-US-and-can-he-be-extradited-Irvin-Muchnick<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

O’Sullivan and McCarthy offer the full background of Gibney’s criminal cases in Ireland. I learned much new detail, and I’ve been immersed in this story for three years. What I found of special interest were, first, the Irish perspective on the ongoing devastating impact for victims going back decades; and, second and related, some non-zealous reflection on the ethics of renewing hot pursuit of Gibney at a point when survivors of his heinous acts have seen their hopes for justice dashed so many times before.<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope to have more to say about this powerful <\/span>Second Captains <\/span><\/i>segment shortly, after the audio goes into general public release.<\/span><\/p>\n
