A new analysis by NBC 5 Investigates has found that dozens of Chicago-area coaches have been disciplined in sexual abuse or misconduct cases within the last decade.
Coaches can spend many hours with athletes outside of a school setting, and can more easily blur the lines of normal interest and attention into a student's life to cross into something that turns dangerous. Teachers also can have opportunities to enhance the lives of their students; but coaches, through the nature of their roles, have more unsupervised contact, especially on nights and weekends.
Jane said in her suit that Helaire-Jones would show many of his players individual attention. He would work with specific players on their skills at practice, as many good coaches do, and would also check on his players via text. In her lawsuit, Jane alleged other inappropriate conduct by her coach over the course of her senior year. Helaire-Jones, according to the lawsuit, tried to grab her breasts on two occasions; kissed her; asked her to perform oral sex; sent her several explicit text messages; and sexually assaulted her in the gymnasium.
For weeks, NBC 5 Investigates has been tracking cases of local coaches who have been credibly accused or convicted of sexual misconduct.
