"The demand for quality coaching in girls sports has burgeoned since 1972, when Congress passed Title IX....This boom created a nearly insatiable call for coaches, most of whom are men....But for a small and unscrupulous minority, there is another reward: the opportunity to sexually prey upon their young charges." (THE SEATTLE TIMES) This article examines the high rate of sexual-misconduct cases against coaches and profiles cases in which coaches who had been reprimanded or fired for sexual misconduct continued to coach or teach while the state and parents looked the other way.
