Another accused sex offender in the sports world, sheltered by U.S., may finally face justice

John Gibney was coach of the Irish Olympic swimming team in 1984 and 1988 .

He has been living as a quasi-fugitive in the U.S. for more than a quarter of a century .

Peter Bergen : Survivors of Gibney’s many alleged and well documented acts of sexual abuse may stand to get some relief from the Irish judicial system at long last.

ICE’s rationale was that since Gibney had never been convicted of anything, the U.S. would not revoke his green card for false statements on a citizenship application.

One wonders whether the same standards would apply to an immigrant from a different part of the world with a different skin color.

None of that was in the BBC podcast.
