Sixth Appellate District Court has ordered USA Swimming to turn over all sexual abuse and molestation complaints going back 20-years!

I was just sent a link to a press release regarding USA Swimming being ordered to report all sexual abuse complaints made over the last 20-years.

Who knows, we may even see a complaint from Diana Nyad!

I checked this out and it is for real.  I included a link to the PDF at the bottom of the block-quote. 

 May 24, 2012 -- San Jose, CA -- The law firms of Corsiglia, McMahon & Allard of San Jose, California, and Shamberg, Johnson and Bergman in Kansas City, Missouri, are announcing that the California Court of Appeal, Sixth Appellate District, has ordered USA Swimming to turn over all sexual abuse and molestation complaints going back the last twenty years. The two law firms represent plaintiff Jancy Thompson in a case seeking monetary damages for the alleged sexual abuse and molestation by USA Swimming certified Coach Norm Havercroft that the lawsuit claims could have been prevented by USA Swimming (Santa Clara County Superior Court, Case #CV174783). The latest ruling filed by the court on May 18, 2012 (Order #H038057) denied USA Swimming's request to stop the production of the documents.
