A prominent South Carolina cheerleading coach who died by suicide last month sexually abused male and female athletes and presided over a culture that allowed staff to commit sexual assault, even as a well-known private equity firm allegedly cashed in on the chaos, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday.
The Greenville County Coroner’s Office told The Daily Beast that Scott Foster died by suicide on Aug. 22 from. He was found around 12:30 p.m. in his car at the parking lot of Paris Mountain State Park, about 20 minutes away from Rockstar Cheer Greenville. “I hope the survivors are seeking and receive the support they need. I am sympathetic to their stories, and will cooperate with all involved to make sure our athletes learn and grow in a safe environment,” Kathy Foster added. “At this time, I am focusing on providing needed support to my children, as they come to terms with the loss of their father.
The lawsuit states that at a 2019 National Cheerleaders Association tournament, Foster sexually assaulted John Doe 1 when he was 16 years old. The lawsuit alleges one of Jane Doe 3’s coaches “groped and fondled her, [and] digitally penetrated her” while on a trip for a competition. That same coach allegedly took Jane Doe 3 to his apartment, plied her with alcohol and marijuana, and eventually raped her.
