Scott Foster rented out “an apartment for his athletes where some of them would live, and where minor athletes would gather to do drugs and drink alcohol with and without Defendant Foster.” He “engaged in illicit sexual acts with underage athletes who were not old enough to provide consent,” the lawsuit alleges.
“All Defendants were co-conspirators in a scheme to get as many families as possible to entrust their child athletes to these private gyms and coaches so that those coaches would bring the athletes to the money-making competitions throughout the United States during the year,” the complaint alleges. The defendants knew they were not vetting coaches. And we’re not investigating a growing number of complaints.
Failure to protect
The three attorney firms Bannister, Wyatt & Stalvey in Greenville, Strom Law Firm in Columbia, and the McGrath Law Firm in Charleston are involved in the litigation.
Strom Law Firm attorney Bakari Sellers stated on Thursday. “This was a factory of abuse designed specifically to generate two things: a constant supply of underage victims for Scott Foster and his fellow predators and a billion-dollar revenue stream to Varsity Spirit, USASF, and Bain Capital.”
