I think they have probably been aware of some of the background facts of this situation for awhile.
I’ve been outspoken on these forums about SS, and really dubious of the claims from the “I stand with George” people that it has been weaponized.
But… this case has opened my eyes.
SS is important… but if there are no repercussions when someone like LK OBVIOUSLY weaponizes it as part of a petty harassment campaign… that’s a serious issue.
I really hope someone from USEF and SafeSport are taking a second look at this whole case, and preparing SOMETHING to speak to the issue of malicious weaponization of the complaint process. This situation with LK seems like the right case to use to speak to that issue.
Honestly… I’m of the opinion that LK herself should be sanctioned under SS for the false reporting of child abuse.
