Youth Sports Accountability Index

Sexual abuse by coaches in schools and in organized youth sports leagues is more common than people think. We have represented adult clients who were sexually abused by their coaches in their childhood going back as far as 1986. Many youth sports organizations today require background checks for adult volunteer participation. But background checks are only accurate if and when a coach or coach’s assistant is formally convicted of sexual abuse. Even then, formal convictions can be misleading due to the plea bargaining process, particularly when an offender pleads guilty to a lesser crime in lieu of going to trial on more significant charges. We have seen instances where pedophile coaches move around to surrounding cities and states so that they can continue to access children independent of their past reputation.

The DeMarco Law Firm is constantly researching precedents and case law surrounding child sexual abuse by coaches both in schools and in organized youth sports leagues. Below is a running list of names of youth sports coaches who have been either accused or convicted of charges related to child sexual abuse.

This is a public resource provided by the DeMarco Law Firm to promote coach and youth sports accountability in the interest and safety of children

The Youth Sports Accountability Index is an interactive list of names, schools, youth sports leagues, assignments, and information related to credible accusations or convictions of child sexual abuse violations related to employees or representatives of youth sports organizations. Use the search box to search for a specific name, city, year, or school. Alternatively, the table can be re-ordered by column. Whenever possible, we have provided links to documents or news reports that provide more details.
