Lets clarify a few things since I made the original comment.
This was not ONE incident. There were multiple
One of the accusers never publicly mentioned his name, this was when the metoo hadn’t started or had just started so outing people was not as easy. An article was written and people figured it out. It was a few years ago, can’t remember exactly when.
I have spoken with one person in person, who is a professional who also had a similar story.
Others have heard similar stories. Can not confirm those but there are at least 2 victims of his harassment as far as I can see and we all know predators don’t stop at one or two.
Also, there is something in the works about this now and you will be hearing more soon. Whether people choose to believe or not is there prerogative but I believe it is true and therefore I have removed myself from anything related to DE. Even gave away his book I had bought.
SS wasn’t in effect when this information first became available. If he isnt a USEF member or at shows etc it really has no bearing on him.
