The George Gibney Case Podcast Now Available For All
Due to the importance of the subject covered, we have decided to make the World Service Episode 1077: George Gibney Case 25 Years On – a Fresh Push For Justice available for all.
World Service members will be familiar with our recent coverage of the extraordinary events in a Michigan courtroom, where the victims of ex-USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar finally had the opportunity to stand up to their abuser in court.
Today’s show is a bit later than usual but it’s worth the wait. We talk to @JulietMacur about the biggest sex abuse scandal in sports history:https://t.co/XOam8opowb pic.twitter.com/CkU7xzmwMZ

It’s the sort of justice that’s long been denied to the alleged victims of George Gibney, the ex-Ireland swimming coach.
It’s almost 25 years since Gibney was charged with 27 counts of indecent assault and carnal knowledge of young swimmers. Those charges were later quashed, Gibney moved to America, and he’s remained there ever since, but new information has emerged that has resulted in a fresh push for justice.
