77岁的前爱尔兰奥运游泳教练乔治·吉布尼将于周一在都柏林中央刑事法院被判刑1。吉布尼因在20世纪70年代和80年代性虐待四名年轻女性运动员被判有罪，罪名包括39项猥亵罪和1项试图强奸罪1。其中一名受害者在被虐待时仅9岁1。
1993年爱尔兰最高法院裁定吉布尼因时效原因无法受审后，他逃往美国躲避了数十年1。经过受害者、警方和记者长期追踪，2020年BBC推出了十集播客系列《乔治·吉布尼在哪里？》1。在随后的2020年至2022年间，四名受害者向爱尔兰警方作证，导致新的指控和引渡令的发出1。吉布尼于去年被捕并被引渡回爱尔兰1。
一名受害者表示，她保留了"极其个人化和创伤性的记忆"，并为超过半个世纪以来承受的"秘密羞愧、伤害和困惑"而感到困扰1。
George Gibney, a 77-year-old former Irish Olympic swimming coach, will be sentenced on Monday at Dublin's Central Criminal Court for sexually abusing four young female athletes during the 1970s and 1980s.1 Gibney was convicted in July of 39 counts of indecent assault and one count of attempted rape.1
The prosecution of Gibney concludes a decades-long pursuit involving victims, law enforcement, and journalists.1 After Ireland's Supreme Court ruled in 1993 that he could not be tried due to statute of limitations restrictions, Gibney fled to the United States.1 A BBC podcast series titled "Where is George Gibney?" launched in 2020 to investigate his whereabouts.1 Between 2020 and 2022, four victims provided testimony to Irish police, prompting new charges and an extradition warrant.1 Gibney was arrested and extradited back to Ireland last year.1
One victim disclosed that she has retained "deeply personal and traumatic memories" and has carried "secret shame, hurt and confusion" for over half a century.1 Another survivor was only nine years old when subjected to the abuse.1
