Alleged victim: Pleased about release of banned list, wants USA Swimming to do more

Alleged victim: Pleased Uchiyama’s ban made public

A woman who accused former USA Swimming national team director Everett Uchiyama of sexual abuse tells The Associated Press that officials need to do more than publicize his lifetime ban.

She spoke on condition of anonymity because she signed a confidential agreement with USA Swimming in 2006. That agreement led Uchiyama’s resignation three days after she sent an e-mail to the organization documenting a relationship that began when she was 14 and eventually became sexual.

Uchiyama is on a list of 46 people who have received lifetime bans or permanently resigned their membership from USA Swimming, mostly for sexual misconduct.
