George Gibney
Former Olympic swimming coach George Gibney was arrested in the United States at the behest of Irish authorities who are seeking his extradition to face renewed allegations of historical child sexual abuse. Gibney, who was a prominent coach at Trojan swimming club in Dublin during the 1980s and 1990s, has a history of legal battles regarding abuse allegations, including charges in 1993 that he successfully evaded through a judicial review. Following a podcast in 2020 that revived interest in his case, more alleged victims came forward, prompting a renewed investigation by An Garda Síochána, which ultimately led to the extradition request.
