Lawsuit says coaches accused of sexual abuse still working with children in USA Diving

USA Diving received numerous reports of sexual abuse that it failed to report to law enforcement, according to a lawsuit that further contends that "coaches and officials who were the subject of these complaints are still coaching children in USA Diving."

The latest lawsuit against the Indianapolis-based organization is separate from one filed by the same law firm in July.

Former U.S. Olympic coach John Wingfield and his Arcadia, Indiana, diving club known as RipFest are also named as defendants. The lawsuit alleges they failed to protect female athletes from sexual abuse by a coach, Johel Ramirez, who was convicted last month of battery.
