U.S. All-Star Federation (USASF) issued a News Release on Tuesday saying the organization was “devastated to learn of allegations about potential abuse of All-Star athletes in South Carolina and potentially other areas as well.”
Foster and his wife of 21 years, Kathy founded Rockstar Cheer in 2007. The first location opened in Greer, S.C. with 85 customers. According to the website, it now trains 14 all-star cheerleading teams in Greenville County which compete nationwide.
Just before his suicide, the Fosters learned the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was investigating Rock Star Cheer due to allegations that Scott was “sexually abusing underage athletes.
Kathy Foster, Scott Foster’s widow, stated on Tuesday.
“I am heartbroken by the recent allegations made by current and former athletes from Rockstar Cheer and other cheer gyms across our community,” she said. “I hope the survivors are seeking and receive the support they need. I am sympathetic to their stories and will cooperate with all involved to make sure our athletes learn and grow in a safe environment.
