NSC defends reinstating para-swimming coach accused of sexual harassment

The National Sports Council (NSC) reiterated that the decision to allow a National Para-swimming coach who was embroiled in a sexual harassment case to resume duties was a correct one because a thorough investigation had been carried out and completed.

The NSC in a statement today said the decision was only made after both the police and the council’s Misconduct and Protection in Sports Committee (JSPS) had concluded an investigation on the matter, interviewing 11 relevant parties.
