INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Two former divers are suing USA Diving, accusing the national governing body of ignoring or obstructing inquiries into allegations that a Columbus coach sexually abused them when they were young athletes.
The lawsuit names Indianapolis-based USA Diving, Inc., the Ohio State University Diving Club and Will Bohonyi.
The suit alleges Bohonyi coerced and forced the divers into frequent sex, telling them, “You owe me this.”
The women’s attorney, Jon Little, tells The Indianapolis Star other divers have come forward and “this is just the beginning for USA Diving.”
Calls Monday to a telephone listing for Bohonyi’s most recent address went unanswered.
