Carole Walsh

Carole Walsh is a swimming coach who worked alongside George Gibney and later supported his victims in their efforts to seek justice in the 1990s. After the collapse of the initial prosecution against Gibney, Walsh expressed her devastation and guilt for not being able to protect the young athletes who confided in her about their experiences of abuse. With the recent conviction of Gibney for multiple counts of child sex abuse, Walsh described it as an 'incredible achievement' that reflects the bravery of those who came forward to speak out against the former coach.
