A former member of the U.S. Women’s National Gymnastics Team filed a lawsuit against former U.S. Women’s Olympic Gymnastics coach Don Peters in Orange County Superior Court this week, accusing him of sexually abusing her while she was training as a minor.
The lawsuit filed Tuesday does not name defendants due to a law requiring a judge’s approval prior to the disclosure of identities, but the plaintiff’s attorney, John Manly, confirmed those involved as Peters and SCATS Gymnastics in Huntington Beach.
In the complaint, plaintiff Doe Yamashiro accuses Peters of repeatedly sexually abusing her while she was training at SCATS Gymnastics and while on national and international trips for competitions. The lawsuit claims Yamashiro was sexually harassed and abused at SCATS and in training facilities, gyms, hotels and other places on at least 10 separate occasions, from 1986 to approximately 1988.
