LOS ANGELES - The governing body of diving in the United States has been accused of ignoring allegations of sexual abuse in a case that echoes the scandal that rocked gymnastics, reports said Monday.
A federal lawsuit filed against USA Diving by two female former divers accuses coach Will Bohonyi of coercing and forcing them into sex while he worked at the Ohio State University Diving Club.
Bohonyi has been on USA Diving's banned list since February 2015 for breaching code of conduct regulations related to sexual misconduct.
