San Jose State head trainer’s touching of breasts “completely inappropriate,” expert says
SAN JOSE – Touching the breasts and nipples of former San Jose State female athletes while treating shoulder injuries was “completely inappropriate” and had no legitimate medical purpose, an expert witness testified Monday in the trial of the school’s former head athletic trainer.
“It alarms me for the student athlete who is vulnerable,” and might not understand the purpose of the treatment, what their rights are and whether they should speak up, testified Chang, who works now as chief medical officer for the National Women’s Soccer League and has worked with Olympians. Under cross examination, defense lawyers suggested that Shaw was treating underlying pectoral muscles when he touched women’s breasts. The big question, defense lawyer Jeremy Blank asked, is “where does breast tissue start on a female?”Shaw, 56, resigned from San Jose State in 2020, a decade after allegations against him first surfaced. He sat intently at the defendant’s table throughout the day, reading glasses perched on his nose and taking numerous notes on a legal pad.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office is expected to conclude presenting its case on Tuesday and the defense expects to wrap up by Friday. If closing arguments don’t begin sometime Friday morning they will likely spill into Monday, U.S. District Judge Beth Labson Freeman said.
