This is an "I feel good about leveling a lawsuit now".
Why was this not done when it happened?
Bunch of horseshit fed into this girl that should have stood forth at the very time all
this supposedly happened.
Guess what....the lawyers get rich.
The victim gets less than 50% of a suit if it even passes the stink test.
I feel sorry for the victims as well. They got justice when this punk asshat got more years than most serial killers.
I don't see a need for a payday this far after the fact. Especially given the circumstances I outlined above. Without a crystal ball, what exactly was the IOC supposed to do about unreported and undetected crime? The second these girls came forward the dude was crucified, and rightly so.
So why did they not come forward at the time? Just a guess, but I'd say a shot at Olympic Gold is what happened. It's over, no more Gold, no more relevance, time to get back in the limelight and collect a payday or two. Harsh, but cynical as Hell I am.
