10 EXAMINATION 09:05:07

11 BY MR. ESTEY: 09:05:07

12 Q. Good morning, ma'am. Could you state your 09:05:08

13 name and spell your last for the record, please. 09:05:09

14 A. Malia Arrington, A-R-R-I-N-G-T-O-N. 09:05:12

15 Q. Have you ever had your deposition taken 09:05:16

16 before? 09:05:17

17 A. No. 09:05:18

18 Q. Okay. I'm going to go over some of the 09:05:21

19 ground rules then. 09:05:23

20 Do you understand that your testimony here 09:05:24

21 today is under penalty of perjury? 09:05:25

22 A. Yes. 09:05:27

23 Q. Okay. The court reporter to your left 09:05:27

24 will take down everything that's said. At a later 09:05:29

25 date, she'll type it up in a transcript or a booklet 09:05:32

Page 7
1 format. You'll be given an opportunity to review 09:05:36

2 the transcript, make any changes you feel are 09:05:39

3 necessary, but if you make a substantial change, 09:05:41

4 like a "yes" to a "no," that could prove 09:05:45

5 embarrassing at trial; could affect credibility. 09:05:47

6 For those reasons, it's very important to give us 09:05:49

7 your most truthful, accurate and complete testimony 09:05:52

8 here today, okay? 09:05:56

9 A. Yes. 09:05:57

10 Q. All right. If you answer a question, I 09:05:57

11 will assume you understood it, and if you don't 09:05:58

12 understand a question, please have me rephrase it. 09:06:01

13 Is that fair? 09:06:04

14 A. I will -- I will have you reask the 09:06:05

15 question if I don't understand it, yes. 09:06:07

16 Q. Fair enough. 09:06:09

17 Any reason why we can't go forward with 09:06:09

18 the deposition today? 09:06:11

19 A. No. 09:06:12

20 Q. Can you give me a brief description of 09:06:13

21 your educational background since high school? 09:06:14

22 A. I attended Emory University for my 09:06:17

23 undergraduate degree, and the University of Virginia 09:06:19

24 for my JD and my master's. 09:06:23

25 Q. So, you're a lawyer? 09:06:26

Page 8
1 A. I am. 09:06:27

2 Q. You know about laws and stuff? 09:06:28

3 A. I -- I feel like that question might be a 09:06:31

4 little overly broad. I know about some laws. 09:06:33

5 Q. All right. Emory, what did you -- was 09:06:36

6 your degree in? 09:06:38

7 A. International studies. 09:06:39

8 Q. All right. What year was that? 09:06:41

9 A. '97. 09:06:43

10 Q. All right. And UVA for you said a JD and 09:06:49

11 something else? 09:06:53

12 A. Master's in biomedical ethics. 09:06:55

13 Q. Biomedical ethics? 09:06:57

14 A. Yes. 09:06:59

15 Q. They didn't have that at San Diego State 09:07:00

16 when I went there. 09:07:03

17 A. It -- it was relatively new in the -- in 09:07:07

18 the '90s, so... I guess that would have been the 09:07:08

19 2000s, but yeah. 09:07:08

20 Q. All right. So, I'm sorry. The JD was 09:07:10

21 when? 09:07:12

22 A. 2003. 09:07:14

23 Q. And the master's? 09:07:16

24 A. 2003. 09:07:17

25 Q. Both. Okay. 09:07:18

Page 9
1 A. Yeah, I did them concurrently. 09:07:19

2 Q. And are you licensed to practice law in 09:07:27

3 any states? 09:07:30

4 A. Yes. 09:07:31

5 Q. Which states? 09:07:31

6 A. Colorado. 09:07:32

7 Q. When were you first licensed in Colorado? 09:07:35

8 A. 2003. 09:07:44

9 Q. All right. Let's talk about your 09:07:49

10 occupational background. 09:07:51

11 Who is your current employer? 09:07:53

12 A. The U.S. Olympic Committee. 09:07:55

13 Q. And what's your title? 09:07:58

14 A. Senior Director of Ethics and SafeSport. 09:08:00

15 COURT REPORTER: And what? 09:08:04

16 THE WITNESS: SafeSport. 09:08:04

17 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Senior Director of Ethics 09:08:08

18 and SafeSport, is that correct? 09:08:10

19 A. Correct. 09:08:12

20 Q. And how long have you been the Senior 09:08:13

21 Director of Ethics and SafeSport? 09:08:15

22 A. Since late spring of 2015. 09:08:20

23 Q. All right. And what are your duties as 09:08:26

24 the Senior Director of Ethics and SafeSport? 09:08:30

25 A. You mean, when I started with the U.S. 09:08:35

Page 10
1 Olympic Committee, or what are they now? 09:08:37

2 Q. Well, I -- I imagine this -- this is not 09:08:40

3 your first title with USOC, is it? 09:08:42

4 A. No. 09:08:45

5 Q. Okay. So, I want you to talk about your 09:08:45

6 duties from September -- or spring of 2015 until 09:08:47

7 now. 09:08:51

8 A. So, probably in the spring of 2015, the 09:08:53

9 primary responsibilities involved continuing to 09:08:57

10 support the resource-based initiative of SafeSport, 09:09:02

11 and simultaneously, working to create the U.S. 09:09:05

12 Center For SafeSport. 09:09:08

13 Q. What -- what is SafeSport? 09:09:19

14 A. SafeSport is the U.S. Olympic movement's 09:09:21

15 resource-based initiative to help support 09:09:25

16 organizations prevent and respond to abuse in sport. 09:09:29

17 Q. To help organizations prevent and respond, 09:09:36

18 you say? 09:09:41

19 A. Correct. 09:09:41

20 Q. To abuse? 09:09:42

21 A. Correct. Or misconduct, yes. 09:09:44

22 Q. What type of abuse? 09:09:47

23 A. Emotional, physical and sexual. 09:09:48

24 Q. When you say a "resource-based 09:09:53

25 initiative," what -- what do you mean by that? 09:09:55

Page 11
1 A. Essentially, what I mean is that SafeSport 09:09:58

2 was imagined and always intended to be exactly that, 09:10:00

3 a resource for sport organizations, including the 09:10:04

4 Sport National Governing Bodies. 09:10:08

5 Q. What's a -- what's a National Governing 09:10:12

6 Body? 09:10:14

7 A. If we're talking about -- I mean, I think 09:10:16

8 there are a lot of different definitions. If we're 09:10:19

9 talking about what a National Governing Body is 09:10:22

10 within the U.S. Olympic movement -- 09:10:23

11 Q. Correct. 09:10:28

12 A. -- they are those sport organizations that 09:10:28

13 the U.S. Olympic Committee has recognized as being 09:10:29

14 the National Governing Body for a particular Olympic 09:10:33

15 sport. 09:10:38

16 Q. How many National Governing Bodies does 09:10:41

17 the USOC currently recognize? 09:10:43

18 A. To the best of my knowledge, it's 47. 09:10:46

19 Q. And how does an NGB, or a National 09:10:59

20 Governing Body, go about getting recognized by the 09:11:00

21 USOC? 09:11:04

22 A. I can't answer that. 09:11:05

23 Q. All right. Do you work with any of the -- 09:11:07

24 the NGB's? 09:11:08

25 A. Meaning -- what do you mean by that? 09:11:12

Page 12
1 Sorry. 09:11:13

2 Q. Do you have any inter- -- any interaction 09:11:14

3 with them? 09:11:16

4 A. I do, yes. 09:11:16

5 Q. And -- and how so? 09:11:17

6 A. Yeah, I mean, again, the idea is that 09:11:19

7 SafeSport is a resource-based initiative, so if they 09:11:21

8 have questions about best practices or questions 09:11:25

9 about something that they may be considering doing, 09:11:27

10 I can, you know, talk to them about some of those 09:11:31

11 things in a non-legal capacity. 09:11:34

12 Q. All right. In order for a National 09:11:36

13 Governing Body to be recognized by the USOC, do they 09:11:37

14 have to have implemented some form of the SafeSport 09:11:42

15 initiative? 09:11:44

16 A. They do at this time, yes. 09:11:46

17 Q. All right. Why? 09:11:47

18 A. Why do they -- sorry. 09:11:49

19 Q. Why does the USOC require that? 09:11:50

20 A. I think the U.S. Olympic Committee 09:11:55

21 recognizes and appreciates that SafeSport is an 09:11:56

22 important part of what the National Governing Bodies 09:11:59

23 do. 09:12:02

24 Q. All right. And when -- when -- it's to 09:12:03

25 protect the athletes, right? 09:12:04

Page 13
1 A. It's to protect all participants. 09:12:06

2 Q. All right. And it's to -- to protect 09:12:09

3 anyone who's a -- a member of either the National 09:12:10

4 Governing Body of the USOC, right? 09:12:12

5 A. I'm sorry. I don't understand that 09:12:16

6 question. 09:12:17

7 Q. Well, you would agree with me the safety 09:12:18

8 of the athletes is the number one priority for both 09:12:20

9 the USOC and the NGBs, right? 09:12:24

10 A. I would agree that it's an important 09:12:24

11 issue, yes. 09:12:25

12 Q. It's a top priority, isn't it? 09:12:27

13 A. It's an important priority, yes. 09:12:29

14 Q. Is there anything else that's more 09:12:31

15 important than the safety of the athletes? 09:12:33

16 A. Not from where I sit as the person who 09:12:35

17 does SafeSport. 09:12:36

18 Q. All right. So, when did the USOC require 09:12:37

19 the National Governing Bodies to implement some form 09:12:39

20 of a SafeSport initiative? 09:12:43

21 A. December 31st, 2013. 09:12:45

22 Q. All right. I'm going to come back to 09:12:48

23 that, but were you -- were you employed by the USOC 09:12:55

24 at that time? 09:13:01

25 A. Yes. 09:13:01

Page 14
1 Q. Okay. So, currently, you are the Senior 09:13:07

2 Director of Ethics and SafeSport since the spring of 09:13:12

3 2015, right? 09:13:16

4 A. Correct. 09:13:18

5 Q. All right. And day to day, what do you -- 09:13:18

6 what do you do? 09:13:23

7 A. Right now? 09:13:24

8 Q. Yeah. 09:13:24

9 A. Yeah. So, right now, again, my primary 09:13:25

10 responsibility is working to launch the U.S. Center 09:13:27

11 for SafeSport. 09:13:31

12 Q. All right. And the Center for SafeSport 09:13:33

13 is -- is -- is what? 09:13:35

14 A. It will -- well, it is an independent 09:13:35

15 501(C)(3). It has an independent Board of 09:13:38

16 Directors. It will have two primary 09:13:42

17 responsibilities. One will be to continue to 09:13:46

18 deliver the resource -- the resources on the 09:13:48

19 prevention side, and then it will also include a 09:13:50

20 response and resolution office. 09:13:55

21 Q. Okay. 09:14:02

22 COURT REPORTER: You -- you dropped your 09:14:02

23 voice. 09:14:02

24 THE WITNESS: I'm sorry. 09:14:02

25 COURT REPORTER: A response of what? 09:14:02

Page 15
1 THE WITNESS: A response and resolution 09:14:02

2 office. 09:14:02

3 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Where is it going to be 09:14:02

4 located? 09:14:04

5 A. Denver, Colorado. 09:14:04

6 Q. And who's going to pay for it? 09:14:05

7 A. Excuse me. It's a combination of the 47 09:14:09

8 National Governing Bodies, the U.S. Olympic 09:14:11

9 Committee and other funders. 09:14:14

10 Q. All right. So, the 47 National Governing 09:14:16

11 Bodies are going to be required to fund, in some 09:14:17

12 manner, this SafeSport Center? 09:14:23

13 A. Yes. 09:14:25

14 Q. Okay. And how much is each -- each 09:14:25

15 National Governing Body going to be required to pay 09:14:28

16 towards this National SafeSport Center? 09:14:32

17 A. It depends on their current revenue. The 09:14:34

18 total is $1.04 million a year. 09:14:37

19 Q. And do you know how much USA Taekwondo is 09:14:41

20 going to be required to pay towards this SafeSport 09:14:42

21 Center? 09:14:47

22 A. Not without going back to look at some 09:14:48

23 other documents. 09:14:52

24 Q. What if a National Governing Body does not 09:14:53

25 contribute money towards this SafeSport Center, does 09:14:55

Page 16
1 that jeopardize their status with the USOC? 09:14:57

2 A. Yes. 09:15:02

3 Q. How so? 09:15:02

4 A. It is a requirement of the 47 Sport 09:15:03

5 National Governing Bodies that they utilize the 09:15:05

6 center in order to be recognized as a member in good 09:15:09

7 standing. 09:15:12

8 Q. Okay. And if a National Governing Body 09:15:12

9 chooses not to utilize or -- or pay money towards 09:15:14

10 this SafeSport Center, then they could be suspended 09:15:17

11 or -- or decertified by the USOC? 09:15:20

12 A. Their two options, as I understand it, is 09:15:23

13 that it could either affect their High Performance 09:15:26

14 funding or they could be decertified. 09:15:29

15 Q. Okay. Who's your boss? 09:15:33

16 A. The U.S. Olympic Committee. 09:15:35

17 Q. Do you -- do you report to anyone? 09:15:37

18 A. I report to two individuals. I report to 09:15:39

19 Rick Adams and I report to Chris McCleary. 09:15:41

20 Q. And what's Mr. Adams' title? 09:15:44

21 A. Chief of Paralympic -- I trying to 09:15:48

6 that time period? The same -- same people? 09:18:14

7 A. Correct. 09:18:16

8 Q. Okay. 09:18:16

13 MS. HOLM: I know you're laid back. 09:18:33

14 Q. (By Mr. Estey) I thought you said -- I -- 09:18:34

15 I didn't understand the first name. What was the 09:18:34

16 first name? 09:18:35

17 A. Rana. 09:18:37

25 USOC? 09:18:48

Page 20
1 A. No. 09:18:49

2 Q. Okay. When did she leave, do you know? 09:18:49

3 A. Late fall of 2014, I believe. 09:18:54

4 Q. Okay. And prior to the title of Director 09:18:59

5 of Ethics and SafeSport, did you have another title 09:19:02

6 at USOC? 09:19:07

7 A. No. 09:19:09

8 Q. Okay. So, you started with the USOC in, 09:19:09

9 then, 2011? 09:19:11

10 A. Correct. 09:19:12

11 Q. Okay. And prior to being hired by the 09:19:12

12 USOC in 2011, where did you work? 09:19:16

13 A. I was working at Reilly Pozner. 09:19:20

14 Q. What's that? 09:19:23

15 A. It is a litigation boutique. 09:19:24

16 Q. What kind of law do they -- do they 09:19:27

17 litigate? 09:19:29

18 A. They don't specialize. 09:19:30

19 Q. All right. And so plaintiff or defense 09:19:32

20 work? 09:19:34

21 A. Both. 09:19:34

22 Q. You did some plaintiff's work? 09:19:35

23 A. I've done both. 09:19:36

24 Q. Good for you. 09:19:37

25 What kind of plaintiff's work? 09:19:38

Page 21
1 A. Gosh. Now you're making me go back many, 09:19:43

2 many years. 09:19:48

3 Q. It's not that long ago. 09:19:49

4 A. No, it -- it -- in my brain it is. 09:19:51

5 Yeah, I mean, we did a combination of 09:19:54

6 things. I mean, sometimes we would, you know, work 09:19:56

7 fair -- you know, a fair amount on the pro bono 09:19:57

8 stuff, and work with prisoners who were, you know, 09:19:59

9 trying to do the appeals process and other things 09:20:03

10 like that. In some cases, it was DNC protestors. 09:20:06

11 Q. Did you work with any victims of sex abuse 09:20:12

12 while you were an attorney? 09:20:16

13 A. No. 09:20:18

14 Q. Okay. And how long were you -- were you 09:20:18

15 an associate at that firm? 09:20:22

16 A. Yes. 09:20:24

17 Q. How long were you an associate there? 09:20:24

18 A. Approximately three years. 09:20:30

19 Q. Okay. And how did you find out about this 09:20:32

20 position of Director of Ethics and SafeSport at the 09:20:37

21 USOC? 09:20:39

22 A. I had made a decision that I wanted to 09:20:41

23 stop practicing law, and found out about it from, 09:20:44

24 actually, a career transition coach. 09:20:48

25 Q. Okay. And had this -- to your knowledge, 09:20:51

Page 22
1 had this Director of Ethics and SafeSport -- who had 09:20:54

2 filled that position prior to you? 09:20:57

3 A. It did not exist before I started. 09:20:59

4 Q. How do you know that? 09:21:00

5 A. Because I -- I -- I mean, I don't remember 09:21:05

6 exactly how it was, but, I mean, it was -- it was 09:21:06

7 fairly clear that it was a new position to the U.S. 09:21:08

8 Olympic Committee, and my responsibility was to 09:21:11

9 build the resources and liaise with individuals who 09:21:14

10 could help build with those resources when I 09:21:18

11 started. 09:21:20

12 Q. And who did you interview with? 09:21:21

13 A. Rana Dershowitz, Rick Adams, Dave McCann 09:21:23

14 and Scott Blackmun. 09:21:28

15 Q. And, Scott Blackmun, what's his title? 09:21:31

16 A. CEO. 09:21:34

17 Q. Okay. And did -- did Mr. Blackmun or any 09:21:37

18 other people you just mentioned tell you what the 09:21:39

19 job would entail? 09:21:42

20 A. Yeah. I mean, we talked -- we talked a 09:21:44

21 fair amount about it, and there was a job 09:21:46

22 description that went with it, so yeah. 09:21:49

23 Q. What was the job description? 09:21:50

24 A. Again, I think the idea was that this 09:21:51

25 individual would serve as a primary liaise to the 09:21:52

Page 23
1 Sport National Governing Bodies, and to coordinate 09:21:57

2 the development of resources to help them prevent 09:22:00

3 and respond to abuse. 09:22:03

4 Q. All right. Did they tell you why they 09:22:04

5 were creating this position? 09:22:06

6 A. It was based on the recommendations of the 09:22:08

7 2010 Working Group for Safe Training Environments. 09:22:11

8 Q. I think I have some stuff in here. We'll 09:22:16

9 talk about that. 09:22:18

10 Tell me more what -- what you know about 09:22:19

11 this 2010, this Working Group. Who -- who 09:22:21

12 coordinated or -- or put together this working 09:22:24

13 group? 09:22:27

14 A. I believe it was at the direction of Scott 09:22:28

15 Blackmun. 09:22:31

16 Q. The CEO? 09:22:32

17 A. Correct. 09:22:33

18 Q. Do you know why Mr. Blackmun put together 09:22:34

19 that working group? 09:22:37

20 A. My understanding is that I believe Scott 09:22:38

21 was relatively new to the CEO position and 09:22:39

22 responding to some media reports about this issue. 09:22:44

23 Q. About what issue? 09:22:48

24 A. About the issue of physical and sexual 09:22:49

25 abuse in sport. 09:22:52

Page 24
1 Q. Do you know if there's a specific instance 09:22:54

2 that prompted Mr. Blackmun to create this Working 09:22:55

3 Group? 09:22:58

4 A. I believe, although I'm not confident, 09:22:59

5 that it was in reaction to some things that were 09:23:00

6 going on with USA Swimming. 09:23:04

7 Q. Okay. And -- and what was your 09:23:06

8 understanding what was going on with USA Swimming? 09:23:07

9 A. There were allegations involving sexual 09:23:12

10 and physical abuse in sport. 09:23:13

11 Q. Okay. And did you have any role in -- 09:23:17

12 in -- strike that. 09:23:19

13 Was there an investigation in -- done into 09:23:20

14 USA Swimming? 09:23:21

15 MS. HOLM: Well, I'm just going to have to 09:23:24

16 impose an objection. Just based upon what you've 09:23:26

17 been told. 09:23:29

18 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Right. If you know. And 09:23:30

19 that's a poor question. 09:23:30

20 Did you have -- was -- was there -- do you 09:23:31

21 have an understanding as to whether or not there was 09:23:32

22 an investigation done into the USA Swimming 09:23:33

23 allegation? 09:23:36

24 A. No. 09:23:37

25 Q. All right. 09:23:37

Page 25
1 A. Actually, that question was really 09:23:37

2 unclear. Can you restate it? 09:23:38

3 Q. Sure. 09:23:40

4 Do you have understanding as to whether or 09:23:41

5 not the USOC did any sort of investigation into the 09:23:42

6 allegations that there were physical and sexual 09:23:47

7 abuse going on in USA Swimming? 09:23:50

8 A. I feel like there are two questions in 09:23:52

9 there; one is was there an investigation, or did I 09:23:55

10 have knowledge of it? What -- is -- is that what 09:23:57

11 you're getting at? 09:23:59

12 Q. Do you have an understanding one -- one 09:24:01

13 way or the other? Was there an investigation or 09:24:02

14 not? 09:24:03

15 A. The USOC -- I -- I don't know. 09:24:03

16 Q. Okay. All right. Had you ever held any 09:24:10

17 position prior to being hired by the USOC involving 09:24:16

18 Ethics and -- and SafeSport? 09:24:21

19 A. No. 09:24:25

20 Q. Okay. And during the interviews, did you 09:24:29

21 discuss your -- your background in -- in biomedical 09:24:37

22 ethics? 09:24:39

23 A. I'm sure we did, yeah. 09:24:41

24 Q. Okay. 09:24:44

25 A. I don't remember it specifically, but yes. 09:24:44

Page 26
1 Q. And did you have any communications or any 09:24:49

2 inter- -- any interaction with the -- the -- I think 09:24:57

3 you called it the Working Board, that Mr. Blackmun 09:24:59

4 had put together? 09:25:02

5 A. The Working Group? 09:25:04

6 Q. The Working Group. 09:25:05

7 A. Yes. 09:25:07

8 Q. All right. How so? 09:25:07

9 A. When I was transitioning into the role, I 09:25:08

10 spoke with Laura Macaulay Peeters, who had been on 09:25:11

11 the 2010 Working Group; you know, spoke a little bit 09:25:16

12 about background. She provided documents that the 09:25:18

13 Working Group had relied on. 09:25:21

14 I would have also spoken with -- with Nina 09:25:24

15 Kemphill in less detail. Laura Macaulay Peeters was 09:25:25

16 really the primary point of contact and the 09:25:30

17 individual I worked with to transition. 09:25:33

18 MR. LITTLE: Can you say the Laurie's name 09:25:35

19 again? 09:25:36

20 A. I'm sorry. Laura -- 09:25:37

21 MR. LITTLE: Laura. 09:25:37

22 A. -- Macaulay, M-A-C-A-U-L-A-Y. Peeters, 09:25:39

23 P-E-E-T-E-R-S. 09:25:39

24 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. What was 09:25:45

25 Ms. Kemphill's title? 09:25:45

Page 27
1 A. She was a USOC Board member. 09:25:50

2 Q. And Ms. Macaulay Peeters? 09:25:57

3 A. I don't remember her title. She was in 09:26:00

4 the legal department. 09:26:03

5 Q. Attorney? 09:26:05

6 A. Correct. 09:26:05

7 Q. All right. How many people made up this 09:26:09

8 Working Group, to your knowledge? 09:26:11

9 A. I -- I wouldn't recall without looking at 09:26:15

10 the document again, but probably ten or so. 09:26:16

11 Q. And what were -- what were their 09:26:19

12 backgrounds, do you remember? 09:26:21

13 A. They came from a variety of backgrounds. 09:26:23

14 So, some of them had legal backgrounds, some of them 09:26:25

15 were coming from the sport world. I think there 09:26:28

16 were some psychologists who had -- who had been in 09:26:30

17 the space, but I -- 09:26:36

18 COURT REPORTER: Some -- some 09:26:36

19 psychologists -- 09:26:36

20 THE WITNESS: I'm sorry. 09:26:36

21 COURT REPORTER: -- what? 09:26:36

22 THE WITNESS: Who worked in the space. 09:26:36

23 I'm so sorry. 09:26:36

24 COURT REPORTER: Go ahead. 09:26:36

25 MR. ESTEY: Thank you. 09:26:36

Page 28
1 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Okay. So, approximately 09:26:38

2 ten members of this Working Group. And this was 09:26:46

3 formed, again, by Mr. Blackmun of the USOC in -- in 09:26:49

4 looks like 2010, is that right? 09:26:53

5 A. Correct. 09:26:55

6 Q. All right. And what was your 09:26:56

7 understanding of what their job was? 09:26:58

8 A. To, A, assess, you know, whether there was 09:27:02

9 an issue of physical and sexual abuse in sport, and 09:27:05

10 if so, what role the U.S. Olympic Committee could 09:27:08

11 play in addressing that issue. 09:27:13

12 Q. Okay. And were the -- these ten members, 09:27:23

13 were they paid to do this job? 09:27:25

14 A. No. 09:27:28

15 Q. Okay. And do you know how they went about 09:27:28

16 accomplishing their -- their objective? 09:27:33

17 A. Yeah. I mean, I -- I know that there's a 09:27:35

18 methodology section that will set it out far more 09:27:36

19 clearly than I could, but I think the goal was 09:27:42

20 obviously to talk to a lot of different people and 09:27:44

21 to talk to a lot of other organizations and the 09:27:47

22 youth serving space to take a look at best practices 09:27:49

23 and -- and how other organizations were looking this 09:27:51

24 issue. 09:27:53

25 MS. HOLM: Ms. Arrington, if you can kind 09:27:55

Page 29
1 of slow down just a little. You're a fast talker. 09:27:56

2 THE WITNESS: I am a fast talker. 09:27:57

3 MS. HOLM: It's okay. 09:27:59

4 THE WITNESS: It's the way I roll. 09:27:59

5 MS. HOLM: I know. I know. 09:28:00

6 THE WITNESS: I'm sorry. 09:28:00

7 MR. ESTEY: She's going to beat you up, 09:28:02

8 though. 09:28:04

9 THE WITNESS: Probably could. She 09:28:05

10 looks -- 09:28:05

11 I'm sorry. I will try to slow down. I'm 09:28:05

12 sorry. 09:28:10

13 COURT REPORTER: Thank you. 09:28:10

14 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Who was the CEO, to your 09:28:10

15 knowledge, prior to Mr. Blackmun? 09:28:13

16 A. I don't know. 09:28:15

17 Q. Okay. And do you know when Mr. Blackmun 09:28:15

18 started with the USOC? 09:28:17

19 A. Not with any certainty, no. I think it 09:28:19

20 was -- I think it was 2009, but I don't recall. 09:28:21

21 Q. And do you know why the prior CEO of the 09:28:25

22 USOC had not formed a -- a Working Group to look at 09:28:30

23 the issue of physical and sexual abuse in sport? 09:28:34

24 A. I don't. 09:28:38

25 Q. Did you ever have any discussions with 09:28:40

Page 30
1 Mr. Blackmun as to why he formed this Working Group 09:28:42

2 in 2010? 09:28:45

3 A. Not that I recall. 09:28:47

4 Q. Have you ever had any discussions with 09:28:48

5 Mr. Blackmun about the Working Group? 09:28:50

6 A. Not that I recall. 09:28:57

7 Q. Do you -- do you interact with 09:28:59

8 Mr. Blackmun at all on a daily basis? 09:28:59

9 A. Not on a daily basis, no. 09:29:02

10 Q. How often do you see Mr. Blackmun in any 09:29:04

11 given week? 09:29:06

12 A. I mean, that obviously depends on travel 09:29:07

13 schedules, but, you know, maybe a couple of times 09:29:08

14 a -- a month, maybe a little bit more than that. It 09:29:13

15 really just depends on what's going on and whether 09:29:16

16 he's in the office and whether I'm in the office. 09:29:18

17 Q. All right. Do you ever sit down and 09:29:21

18 discuss what you're doing in your job capacity with 09:29:22

19 him? 09:29:26

20 A. Yes. 09:29:27

21 Q. All right. And what do you guys discuss, 09:29:27

22 in general? 09:29:29

23 A. In general, we, you know, talk a lot about 09:29:30

24 the status of, you know, the U.S. Center for 09:29:33

25 SafeSport. You know, we'll talk about the 09:29:37

Page 31
1 development of the -- you know, historically, the 09:29:38

2 development of the resources and where we were and 09:29:40

3 the development of those resources and a lot of 09:29:42

4 status updates. 09:29:47

5 COURT REPORTER: And a lot of what? 09:29:47

6 THE WITNESS: Status updates. 09:29:47

7 I feel like I need like a megaphone that 09:29:47

8 sort of like naturally slows the -- the speed of my 09:29:52

9 voice down. My apologies. I'm not saying it's 09:29:55

10 going to get better, but I'm still sorry. 09:29:57

11 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. How long -- 09:30:01

12 strike that. 09:30:11

13 At some point, this -- this ten-member 09:30:11

14 Working Group put out a report, right? 09:30:13

15 Recommendations, right? 09:30:17

16 A. Correct. 09:30:18

17 Q. And when was that? 09:30:19

18 A. September 2010. 09:30:21

19 Q. And you didn't come on until? 09:30:29

20 A. April 2011. 09:30:38

21 Q. 2011, yeah. So, it came out a few months 09:30:39

22 before you got here, right? 09:30:40

23 A. Correct. 09:30:43

24 Q. All right. When you were hired, were you 09:30:43

25 given a -- a copy of their report? 09:30:45

Page 32
1 A. Yes, although I'm fairly sure I would have 09:30:48

2 pulled it before the interview itself. 09:30:51

3 Q. Okay. Why would you have pulled it before 09:30:53

4 the interview? 09:30:58

5 A. It's smart to prepare for the interview 09:30:59

6 for which you are applying. 09:31:00

7 MS. HOLM: Just like Hillary last night. 09:31:02

8 THE WITNESS: I hear preparation is good. 09:31:04

9 MR. ESTEY: Okay. 09:31:06

10 MS. HOLM: Really? 09:31:08

11 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. And so when 09:31:10

12 you pulled the Working Group report prior to your 09:31:12

13 interview, did you read it? 09:31:18

14 A. Yes. 09:31:20

15 Q. All right. And what were your thoughts? 09:31:22

16 MS. HOLM: You know, I'll go ahead and 09:31:27

17 object to that. It's kind of irrelevant and 09:31:29

18 immaterial what her thoughts were, so... 09:31:32

19 MR. ESTEY: Let me -- 09:31:34

20 MS. HOLM: You can answer it if you want. 09:31:34

21 MR. ESTEY: That's okay. 09:31:36

22 MS. HOLM: I'm not to instruct you not to. 09:31:36

23 MR. ESTEY: It's okay. 09:31:36

24 Q. (By Mr. Estey) You read it. Do you have 09:31:39

25 any concerns about what you read in there? 09:31:41

Page 33
1 A. No. 09:31:43

2 Q. Okay. Well, they -- they found that the 09:31:45

3 potential for sexual abuse within sport was pretty 09:31:47

4 high, right? 09:31:51

5 A. No. What they said specifically was that 09:31:52

6 physical and sexual abuse is an issue in society, 09:31:55

7 and therefore, an issue in sport, and they cited the 09:31:58

8 statistics in the general population. 09:32:00

9 They did not make a finding about whether 09:32:04

10 or not it was particularly high in sport. There are 09:32:05

11 no baseline studies in the U.S. that would give us 09:32:08

12 those numbers. 09:32:12

13 Q. Okay. We'll go over the report in a 09:32:12

14 little bit. 09:32:14

15 Did you discuss the report in your 09:32:15

16 inter- -- interview with Mr. Blackmun? 09:32:16

17 A. No. 09:32:18

18 Q. Okay. Were you charged, once you were 09:32:21

19 hired in April of 2011, with implementing any of the 09:32:22

20 recommendations contained within that Working Group 09:32:30

21 report? 09:32:32

22 A. Yes. 09:32:33

23 Q. All right. And which ones? 09:32:33

24 A. All of them. 09:32:34

25 Q. Okay. 09:32:35

Page 34
1 A. Or, you know, they were recommendations. 09:32:38

2 I think the idea was to utilize it as a blueprint 09:32:40

3 for moving forward, I think is a fairer way of 09:32:44

4 stating it. 09:32:49

5 Q. Okay. And what recommendations are you -- 09:32:52

6 that were contained in the report are you in charge 09:33:02

7 of implementing? 09:33:04

8 A. I mean, again, I think -- let's -- let's 09:33:05

9 call it a blueprint, but I can tell you what the 09:33:06

10 recommendations were. 09:33:09

11 The blueprint was that the USOC lead by 09:33:11

12 example, that it play a leadership role, that it 09:33:13

13 provide a tool kit, written resources, policies 09:33:16

14 and -- you know, sample policies and procedures for 09:33:22

15 the Sport National Governing Bodies and encourage 09:33:25

16 them to work with their grassroots organizations to 09:33:28

17 implement and to develop, you know, online training. 09:33:32

18 So, essentially, the idea was to create, 09:33:36

19 you know, sort of a centralized resource for the 09:33:37

20 Sport National Governing Bodies. 09:33:43

21 Q. And did Mr. Blackmun tell you why he 09:33:48

22 wanted the -- this centralized resource -- I can't 09:33:51

23 read my own writing. 09:33:53

24 Did Mr. Blackmun tell you why he wanted 09:34:02

25 the -- this -- the recommendations implemented? 09:34:05

Page 35
1 A. No. Not that I recall. 09:34:06

2 Q. All right. Did he give you a time -- did 09:34:07

3 he give you a timeline on -- on how long they want 09:34:09

4 to -- when they wanted you to have these 09:34:12

5 recommendations implemented? 09:34:15

6 A. Not that I recall. 09:34:17

7 Q. Have they all been implemented as of 09:34:19

8 today? 09:34:22

9 A. I'd have to look at the report and sort of 09:34:23

10 do a side by side. Sorry. 09:34:26

11 MS. HOLM: I have a feeling you're going 09:34:27

12 to get to do that. 09:34:30

13 THE WITNESS: Yeah. 09:34:32

14 MR. ESTEY: Yeah. We'll get there. 09:34:32

15 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. Well, you 09:34:34

16 mentioned earlier, though, and -- as of 09:34:35

17 December 31st, 2013, the NGBs were required to 09:34:37

18 comply with SafeSport, is that right? 09:34:45

19 A. They were required to comply with, I 09:34:47

20 believe the title is now something like Minimum 09:34:52

21 Standards For Athlete -- or, no, it's the Athlete 09:34:55

22 Safety Policy Around Minimum Standards. That's 09:34:58

23 different than SafeSport -- all -- all of the 09:35:01

24 SafeSport resources that are available. 09:35:03

25 MR. LITTLE: Can -- can you say it again? 09:35:06

Page 36
1 What's -- what's -- 09:35:07

2 THE WITNESS: Yeah. I'm -- just stick 09:35:07

3 with me for a second. It's a really long name. 09:35:10

4 I believe it's Minimum Standards for 09:35:14

5 Athlete Safety Policy. 09:35:16

6 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. And so as of 09:35:20

7 December 31st, 2013, the NGBs had to comply with the 09:35:25

8 Minimum Standards for Athletes Safety Policy, is 09:35:30

9 that right? 09:35:34

10 A. Correct. 09:35:34

11 Q. Were they required to do anything else in 09:35:35

12 that regard? 09:35:37

13 A. I'm sorry. I don't understand your 09:35:38

14 question. 09:35:40

15 Q. Well, did the USO -- if the USOC required 09:35:41

16 the NGBs as of December of 2013 to comply with the 09:35:44

17 Minimum Standards for Athletes Safety Policy, were 09:35:49

18 the NGBs required to comply with any other policies? 09:35:53

19 MS. HOLM: In general, or related to -- 09:35:58

20 MR. ESTEY: Related to SafeSport. 09:36:00

21 A. Yeah. They would have needed to comply 09:36:04

22 with the Olympic Training Center Access Policy, and 09:36:07

23 there was a provision in the USOC's Code of Conduct 09:36:16

24 that had sort of the -- sort of the -- you know, the 09:36:25

25 provisions around physical and sexual abuse applying 09:36:31

Page 37
1 to the NGBs. 09:36:34

2 Q. (By Mr. Estey) What provisions regarding 09:36:37

3 sexual abuse? 09:36:39

4 A. In 2011, the USOC's Code of Conduct was 09:36:41

5 modified to include a provision that essentially 09:36:45

6 stated that physical and sexual abuse, or -- you 09:36:48

7 know, is intolerable, and, you know, in conflict 09:36:51

8 with Olympic ideals, and that they're basically 09:36:54

9 obviously prohibited, and that, you know, anyone who 09:36:56

10 became aware of, you know, some -- one of those 09:36:59

11 forms of abuse needed to report it. 09:37:04

12 Q. And that policy wasn't in effect before 09:37:07

13 2011? 09:37:09

14 A. Well, it was -- it was USOC's Code of 09:37:13

15 Conduct. 09:37:13

16 Q. Right. 09:37:16

17 A. So, I don't think that that provision was 09:37:16

18 in the Code of Conduct. I mean, I think we can all 09:37:19

19 agree that to the extent we're talking about 09:37:21

20 physical and sexual abuse, it has long been 09:37:24

21 prohibited by criminal law. 09:37:26

22 THE WITNESS: Sorry. I speak too fast. 09:37:26

23 Did you hear me? Or do you need me to go back? 09:37:26

24 COURT REPORTER: In the event we were all 09:37:26

25 talking about physical and sexual abuse -- 09:37:26

Page 38
1 THE WITNESS: Oh, I said I think we can 09:37:26

2 all agree that it has been prohibit under -- 09:37:26

3 prohibited under criminal law for a long time. 09:37:26

4 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Do you know what grooming 09:37:46

5 is? 09:37:47

6 A. Depends which context we're talking about 09:37:49

7 it. 09:37:52

8 Q. Sexual predators' grooming habits. 09:37:53

9 A. Yes. 09:37:55

10 Q. All right. Tell me what you know about 09:37:56

11 that, please. 09:37:57

12 A. You know, essentially, the grooming 09:37:57

13 behaviors of -- I mean, you know, I think most of 09:37:59

14 the time they sort of break it down into six steps, 09:38:03

15 if you will, but it refers to those six steps of how 09:38:06

16 a predator gains access, gains trust, and ultimately 09:38:09

17 sexualizes a relationship, and, you know, enables 09:38:11

18 them to sort of keep it a secret. 09:38:16

19 Q. Okay. So, it's a situation where the 09:38:19

20 predator gets the -- the victim comfortable and they 09:38:20

21 begin to push the boundaries with the victim, right? 09:38:23

22 A. Yeah. I mean, I -- I guess I want to be a 09:38:28

23 little careful about the terminology that we're 09:38:30

24 using, but yes. 09:38:33

25 Q. Where -- where did you learn about 09:38:35

Page 39
1 grooming? 09:38:35

2 A. You know, I learned about it from working 09:38:36

3 with outside experts; from, you know, the good 09:38:39

4 old-fashioned internet, doing a lot of reading and a 09:38:41

5 lot of -- and a lot of research. 09:38:45

6 Q. When did you first start learning about 09:38:47

7 grooming behavior? 09:38:49

8 A. Probably 2011. 09:38:51

9 Q. Okay. And what experts did you consult 09:38:53

10 with in that regard? 09:38:56

11 A. I mean, again, I did a lot of reading. 09:38:57

12 We -- there are a lot of, you know, 09:38:59

13 individuals in the sport world, like individuals 09:39:02

14 like Celia Brackenridge, or a lot of people who 09:39:05

15 deliver this kind of training; so, any of those 09:39:05

16 organizations that deliver training and other 09:39:10

17 resources around preventing abuse. 09:39:13

18 Q. All right. Does -- does any of the 09:39:17

19 SafeSport material advise the NGBs to -- to watch 09:39:18

20 out for grooming behavior? 09:39:25

21 A. Yes. 09:39:27

22 Q. Okay. And who -- strike that. 09:39:28

23 What does it say in that -- in that 09:39:31

24 regard? 09:39:32

25 A. The -- I mean, I think the primary 09:39:33

Page 40
1 resource for that is in our online training. 09:39:34

2 So, we have an individual prosecutor who 09:39:37

3 walks through those steps and what it can often look 09:39:42

4 like in sport. 09:39:45

5 Q. And prior to 2011, did the USOC have 09:39:47

6 anything to assist the NGBs with in -- in 09:39:52

7 identifying grooming behavior? 09:39:59

8 A. I don't know. 09:40:03

9 Q. Who would -- who would know that? 09:40:03

10 A. I don't know. 09:40:04

11 Q. Would Mr. Blackmun know that? 09:40:05

12 MS. HOLM: That's calling for speculation. 09:40:08

13 Q. (By Mr. Estey) If you know. 09:40:08

14 A. I don't. 09:40:09

15 Q. Okay. Now, you mentioned that the NGBs 09:40:10

16 had to comply with the USOC Access Policy. 09:40:16

17 A. Olympic Training Access Policy? 09:40:22

18 Q. Yeah. I'm sorry. What is that? 09:40:24

19 A. Essentially, it's a policy that requires 09:40:28

20 National Governing Bodies, if they're going to, you 09:40:32

21 know, sa- -- ask for, you know, an individual to 09:40:34

22 have access to the training centers, that they 09:40:38

23 disclose any criminal convictions or any other 09:40:41

24 problematic behaviors that could affect the safety 09:40:45

25 of the individuals on those campuses. 09:40:49

Page 41
1 Q. And what campuses are you talking about? 09:40:52

2 A. I'm talking about like the Olympic 09:40:54

3 Training Center campuses. 09:40:55

4 Q. Here in Colorado Springs? 09:40:58

5 A. It applied to all three -- or it does 09:40:59

6 apply to all three OTCs -- Olympic Training Centers. 09:41:01

7 Q. We have one in Chula Vista, right? 09:41:03

8 A. I think that's being transferred, but -- 09:41:07

9 Q. Oh, we had one. 09:41:09

10 All right. Do you have any role about -- 09:41:11

11 with -- with creating policies to protect athletes 09:41:17

12 in relation to their stay at the U.S. Olympic 09:41:20

13 training facilities? 09:41:24

14 A. I have -- I have worked on some policies 09:41:30

15 related to that, yes. 09:41:32

16 Q. What policies have you worked on? 09:41:34

17 A. The Olympic Training Center Access Policy. 09:41:36

18 The U.S. Olympic Committee SafeSport policies. The 09:41:38

19 Minimum Standards would affect that as well. I'm 09:41:43

20 trying to think if there's anything else. That's 09:41:45

21 what I can recall right now. 09:41:55

22 Q. Okay. To your knowledge, did USA 09:41:58

23 Taekwondo implement the SafeSport initiative, as 09:42:13

24 required, by December 31st, 2013? 09:42:22

25 A. They certified their compliance with the 09:42:26

Page 42
1 minimum standards. 09:42:30

2 Q. What does that mean? 09:42:31

3 A. It means that the -- the deadline for 09:42:32

4 implementing the minimum standards -- and by the 09:42:36

5 way, you know, there were plenty of NGBs who had 09:42:39

6 SafeSport -- you know, the equivalent of what we 09:42:43

7 would call SafeSport today, but as of December 31st, 09:42:46

8 2013, when the minimum standards became a 09:42:48

9 requirement, we required all 47 Sport National 09:42:53

10 Governing Bodies to certify their compliance with 09:42:55

11 those standards. 09:42:59

12 Q. So, some of the other National Governing 09:42:59

13 Bodies were a little more advanced in their policies 09:43:01

14 and procedures in relation to prevention of sexual 09:43:05

15 abuse to the athletes? 09:43:07

16 A. I don't know. Advanced relative to what? 09:43:08

17 Q. Some of the other NGBs had policies and 09:43:13

18 procedures in place prior to 2013 to prevent sexual 09:43:16

19 misconduct, correct? 09:43:21

20 A. Correct. 09:43:22

21 Q. And what did the USA Taekwondo have in 09:43:23

22 place in that regard? 09:43:26

23 A. I don't know. 09:43:28

24 Q. All right. Who's your -- 09:43:28

25 MR. ESTEY: Thanks, man. 09:43:29

Page 43
1 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Who's your -- do you have 09:43:30

2 a point of contact at the USA Taekwondo? 09:43:32

3 A. Yeah. I mean, as of now, yeah. 09:43:39

4 Q. Who is -- who is the point of contact as 09:43:42

5 of now? 09:43:44

6 A. Keith -- Keith Ferguson. 09:43:45

7 Q. And what's his title? 09:43:47

8 A. I -- I don't know whether he's CEO or ED, 09:43:48

9 but it's one of those two terms. 09:43:52

10 Q. Okay. Do you know a -- a lady by the name 09:43:54

11 of Ronda Sweet? 09:44:00

12 A. I do not know her, no. I know -- you 09:44:01

13 know, I've exchanged emails with her, and I'm sure 09:44:02

14 I've spoken with her, but I don't know her, no. 09:44:07

15 Q. Okay. And -- and what -- what types of 09:44:09

16 things have you communicated with Mr. -- Ms. Sweet 09:44:10

17 about? 09:44:12

18 A. Information that, you know, she had -- was 09:44:18

19 transmitting to me via other individuals usually 09:44:21

20 around some sort of sexual misconduct. 09:44:24

21 Q. And do you know what Ms. Sweet's -- did 09:44:27

22 she ever hold a title with USA Taekwondo? 09:44:30

23 A. I believe she did. I don't know what it 09:44:34

24 was. 09:44:35

25 Q. All right. Did Ms. Sweet provide you any 09:44:36

Page 44
1 information with respect to Yazmin Brown's 09:44:44

2 allegation against Mr. Gitelman and USA Taekwondo? 09:44:45

3 A. Sorry. Can you just repeat the question 09:44:54

4 or have it read back? 09:44:56

5 Q. Which one would you prefer? 09:44:59

6 A. It doesn't mat- -- why don't you just have 09:45:01

7 it read back. I don't think the question was 09:45:03

8 confusing. I think I just wasn't listening to you. 09:45:05

9 Q. Kind of like a dog that's -- 09:45:08

10 (Coughing interruption). 09:45:08

11 A. I'm just being honest. It's kind of hard 09:45:09

12 to concentrate all the time. 09:45:10

13 (Coughing interruption). 09:45:13

14 THE WITNESS: Are you all right? 09:45:13

15 MR. LITTLE: Sorry. 09:45:13

16 MS. HOLM: Let the record reflect that the 09:45:14

17 room is filled with sick people. 09:45:16

18 THE WITNESS: I know. 09:45:17

19 MS. HOLM: Including the witness. 09:45:17

20 Mr. Estey is over there smiling and in 09:45:17

21 good, healthy, robust shape. 09:45:21

22 THE WITNESS: I'm sorry. Could you 09:45:23

23 have -- could I have the question read back? Thank 09:45:24

24 you. 09:45:26

25 (Last question read back). 09:45:26

Page 45
1 A. Yes. 09:45:55

2 Q. (By Mr. Estey) What type of information 09:45:55

3 did she provide you? 09:45:56

4 A. It was after -- I believe it was sometime 09:46:00

5 after Yazmin Brown had already contacted me and/or 09:46:07

6 already filed her complaint with USA Taekwondo. 09:46:10

7 But as, sort of, USA Taekwondo moved 09:46:12

8 through its process, she would occasionally check in 09:46:22

9 and provide what she understood to be the status of 09:46:25

10 USA Taekwondo's proceedings. 09:46:28

11 Q. Did you have any role in -- in 09:46:33

12 investigating Yazmin Brown's allegations against 09:46:37

13 Gitelman and USAT? 09:46:42

14 A. No. 09:46:44

15 Q. Do you know why Sweet and/or Brown sent 09:46:48

16 you information regarding those allegations? 09:46:52

17 MS. HOLM: Objection. It would call for 09:46:54

18 speculation. 09:46:55

19 But if she told you, you can answer. 09:46:56

20 MR. OKAMURA: I join. 09:46:59

21 A. What I understand is that she had 09:47:03

22 contacted either Don Parker or Gary Johansen to sort 09:47:07

23 of ask where she might be able to find additional 09:47:13

24 resources for her. 09:47:14

25 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Okay. And did you have 09:47:18

Page 46
1 direct communications with Ms. Brown? 09:47:19

2 A. Yes. 09:47:23

3 Q. And can you tell us about that 09:47:24

4 communication? 09:47:26

5 A. She forwarded -- sort of on Don Parker's 09:47:28

6 recommendation, she forwarded her Complaint to me, 09:47:31

7 and sort of requested some assistance in terms of 09:47:37

8 how she might basically better support her 09:47:43

9 allegations against Mr. Gitelman. 09:47:47

10 Q. When you got the Complaint, did you read 09:47:49

11 it? 09:47:51

12 A. Yes. 09:47:52

13 Q. Did you have any concerns? 09:47:52

14 A. Yes. 09:47:57

15 Q. What were your concerns? 09:47:58

16 A. I mean, I think it's always concerning 09:47:59

17 when you hear allegations that a coach has had a 09:48:02

18 sexual relationship with an athlete. 09:48:05

19 Q. Okay. So, once you read that and had 09:48:07

20 these concerns, what did you do next? 09:48:09

21 A. I suggested that Ms. Brown and I speak by 09:48:11

22 phone. 09:48:14

23 Q. Okay. And did that happen? 09:48:14

24 A. Yes. 09:48:17

25 Q. All right. And how long did that 09:48:18

Page 47
1 conversation last? 09:48:21

2 A. I -- I don't recall. I just -- I don't 09:48:23

3 recall. 09:48:26

4 Q. What did she say, what did you say? 09:48:26

5 A. I don't recall specifically. I do know 09:48:30

6 that, you know, at some point it was my 09:48:31

7 understanding that she indicated at some time some 09:48:34

8 point in that conversation that she was represented 09:48:38

9 by legal counsel, so I think I would have then 09:48:40

10 encouraged her to -- to work with her legal counsel 09:48:43

11 on the issue. 09:48:46

12 Q. Generally, what do you recall about the 09:48:47

13 conversation? 09:48:49

14 A. That's -- what -- what I just said is what 09:48:49

15 I recall. 09:48:51

16 Q. You -- do you remember anything else about 09:48:51

17 that conversation? 09:48:53

18 A. No. 09:48:53

19 Q. And do you know how long the conversation 09:48:55

20 lasted? 09:48:58

21 A. Nope. 09:48:59

22 Q. Do you have any -- any -- any estimate at 09:49:00

23 all? 09:49:04

24 A. I -- no, I really don't. I mean, 10, 15 09:49:08

25 minutes. It wouldn't have lasted very long. 09:49:10

Page 48
1 Q. All right. And after you had that 09:49:13

2 conversation with Ms. Brown, did you discuss that 09:49:15

3 conversation with -- with anyone at the USOC? 09:49:18

4 A. Yes. 09:49:22

5 Q. Who? 09:49:22

6 A. Rana Dershowitz. 09:49:22

7 Q. Well, she was an attorney, though, right? 09:49:24

8 A. Correct. 09:49:26

9 Q. All right. You talk about the 09:49:30

10 conversation with anyone else? 09:49:32

11 A. Not -- I don't recall doing so at the 09:49:36

12 time, no. 09:49:38

13 Q. Did you ever have discussions with Ms. -- 09:49:39

14 actually, with Blackmun regarding that phone call 09:49:41

15 you had with Brown? 09:49:45

16 A. No. 09:49:47

17 Q. Did you ever discuss the Brown allegations 09:49:47

18 with Blackmun in any manner? 09:49:50

19 MS. HOLM: Mr. Blackmun? 09:49:53

20 MR. ESTEY: Yeah. Mr. Blackmun. I never 09:49:54

21 met him. Sorry. Mr. Blackmun. 09:49:54

22 A. I don't recall. 09:50:01

23 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. And so after 09:50:04

24 that phone call with Ms. Brown, did you have any 09:50:09

25 other communication with anyone regarding the 09:50:11

Page 49
1 Gitelman issue? 09:50:16

2 A. Yes. 09:50:19

3 Q. Who? 09:50:20

4 A. I would have spoken with John Ruger. 09:50:23

5 Q. And then Ruger is the Ombudsman? 09:50:26

6 Mr. Ruger? 09:50:28

7 A. Ruger was the USOC's Ombudsman at the 09:50:29

8 time, yes. 09:50:32

9 Q. What's an Ombudsman? 09:50:33

10 A. The Ombudsman is, sort of under the Ted 09:50:37

11 Stevens Act, designated as an independent individual 09:50:40

12 who can help provide independent confidential and -- 09:50:47

13 and neutral advice about processes, I think -- 09:50:49

14 Q. To whom? 09:50:55

15 A. It can be, I think, you know, athletes, 09:50:57

16 coaches, anybody who's, you know, undergoing a 09:51:00

17 process. 09:51:03

18 Q. All right. Why did you talk to Ruger 09:51:03

19 about the Brown allegations against Gitelman and 09:51:04

20 USAT? 09:51:07

21 A. At some point, Ronda Sweet was -- was 09:51:10

22 sending out a fair number of emails, and he would 09:51:13

23 have been on them. 09:51:15

24 And I believe Mr. Ruger has known -- or 09:51:17

25 had known Ms. Sweet from -- you know, had known her 09:51:19

Page 50
1 for several years, and, you know, again, he was on 09:51:22

2 the emails, so... 09:51:25

3 Q. What did you and Mr. Ruger talk about in 09:51:27

4 that regard? 09:51:29

5 A. I mean, I think we, you know, talked a 09:51:31

6 fair amount about, you know, trying to get feedback 09:51:33

7 to Ronda Sweet, and, you know, depending on what 09:51:41

8 time it would have been, sort of trying to 09:51:45

9 understand where USA Taekwondo was in the process 09:51:47

10 and what issues were going on at the time. 09:51:52

11 Q. Were -- were you kept abreast of what 09:51:55

12 USAT -- USA Taekwondo was -- was doing in connection 09:51:57

13 with the -- the Gitelman issue? 09:52:02

14 A. Not as it was happening, no. 09:52:05

15 Q. Did someone tell you afterwards, or -- or 09:52:07

16 at some point, how USA Taekwondo handled the -- the 09:52:08

17 Gitelman allegations? 09:52:12

18 A. Yeah, we would -- yeah. I mean, I would 09:52:14

19 learn about it after it had happened, yes. 09:52:16

20 Q. From whom? 09:52:18

21 A. Ronda Sweet mostly. 09:52:21

22 Q. Did you ever call anyone from USA 09:52:25

23 Taekwondo to find out, you know, what was going on 09:52:28

24 with the Gitelman allegations? 09:52:32

25 A. Yes. 09:52:34

Page 51
1 Q. Who? 09:52:35

2 A. I would have spoken with Bruce Harris. At 09:52:37

3 some point, I'm sure there was some exchange with 09:52:43

4 Steven Hess. 09:52:46

5 Q. Hess is an attorney, right? 09:52:50

6 A. Correct. 09:52:52

7 Q. But he's not your attorney, right? 09:52:53

8 A. Correct. 09:52:55

9 Q. Tell me everything you and Hess talked 09:52:55

10 about, please. 09:52:57

11 A. Again, it would have been sort of a status 09:52:58

12 update, like, What can you tell us about what's 09:53:00

13 going on. You know, this is what -- what we're 09:53:04

14 hearing. Where you are you guys in the process? 09:53:05

15 Where will you be going in the process? 09:53:07

16 Q. And why do you want this information? 09:53:10

17 A. You know, I think part of what we want to 09:53:12

18 be able to do is to work with the Sport National 09:53:15

19 Governing Bodies and make sure they've got the right 09:53:18

20 resources, and, you know, just make sure that 09:53:22

21 they're keeping things on track to the extent that 09:53:26

22 we can. 09:53:29

23 Q. To make sure they're making the right 09:53:30

24 decisions, right? 09:53:32

25 A. I don't know what that means. 09:53:33

Page 52
1 Q. Well, you -- you want to make sure the 09:53:34

2 NGBs, like USAT, is keeping their athletes safe, 09:53:36

3 right? 09:53:40

4 A. Yes. 09:53:41

5 Q. Okay. And so if there is an allegation 09:53:41

6 that the coach is a pedophile, you want to make sure 09:53:43

7 that the NGB, like USA Taekwondo, gets rid of that 09:53:46

8 pedophile, right? 09:53:50

9 A. I don't think that, in this particular 09:53:52

10 case, we were talking about pedophilia, but, of 09:53:53

11 course, we would be concerned that if there was any 09:53:54

12 sort of pedophilia, that that individual not be 09:53:58

13 involved, yes. 09:54:01

14 Q. Well, what's your definition of 09:54:02

15 "pedophilia"? 09:54:03

16 A. My definition of pedophilia would be an 09:54:05

17 individual who is attracted to individuals who are 09:54:05

18 pre-adolescent. 09:54:09

19 Q. Pre-adolescent, which is what -- what age? 09:54:11

20 A. It depends on the individual, obviously. 09:54:14

21 Q. Well, let's say a 15-year-old girl. 09:54:16

22 A. I don't know. I mean, again, I would have 09:54:19

23 to know a lot more about the girl. 09:54:21

24 I mean, listen, let's not quarrel too much 09:54:22

25 over the terms. The point is, if we have an 09:54:25

Page 53
1 individual who is -- with an imbalance of power who 09:54:27

2 is taking advantage of somebody else in a sexual 09:54:30

3 manner, yes, that is concerning to me. 09:54:32

4 Q. All right. And that's -- you want to make 09:54:36

5 sure your -- that -- that the National Governing 09:54:37

6 Bodies are -- are getting rid of any person who 09:54:37

7 has -- in an imbalance of power situation, who is 09:54:41

8 having sexual relations with an underage female, 09:54:44

9 right? 09:54:48

10 MS. HOLM: I'll object to the form of the 09:54:49

11 question. It's argumentative. 09:54:50

12 If you can answer it, go ahead. 09:54:51

13 A. I mean, yes, obviously we want to make 09:54:55

14 sure that the environments in which athletes are 09:54:57

15 training in, competing in, are safe. 09:55:03

16 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Right. 09:55:07

17 And if you found out that one of the 09:55:07

18 National Governing Bodies was not doing its job in 09:55:10

19 preventing a coach from having sexual relations with 09:55:21

20 an underage female, what would the USOC's response 09:55:25

21 be? 09:55:33

22 MR. OKAMURA: Objection. Calls for 09:55:34

23 speculation. Incomplete hypothetical. 09:55:35

24 MS. HOLM: I was going to say exactly the 09:55:38

25 same thing. 09:55:40

Page 54
1 THE WITNESS: Could I have the question 09:55:42

2 read back to me, please? 09:55:43

3 (last question read back). 09:55:44

4 MS. HOLM: I also want to throw in vague 09:56:06

5 and ambiguous as phrased. 09:56:06

6 And what do you mean by "you"? If this 09:56:06

7 particular witness found out something? 09:56:06

8 MR. OKAMURA: I'll join those objections 09:56:13

9 as well. 09:56:13

10 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Do you understand the 09:56:16

11 question? 09:56:17

12 A. I really don't think I do. I'm sorry. 09:56:17

13 Could you -- 09:56:19

14 Q. Sure? 09:56:20

15 A. Could you -- could you rephrase it? 09:56:20

16 Q. Ma'am, you're -- you're the Director of 09:56:21

17 SafeSport, right? 09:56:21

18 A. Yes. 09:56:21

19 Q. For the USOC, right? Correct? 09:56:21

20 A. Correct. 09:56:25

21 Q. Okay. So, if you, as the Director of 09:56:26

22 SafeSport, found out that one of the USOC's National 09:56:27

23 Governing Bodies was failing to prevent one of its 09:56:29

24 coaches from having sexual relations with an 09:56:36

25 underage female, what would the USOC's response be? 09:56:39

Page 55
1 MR. OKAMURA: Same objections. 09:56:45

2 MS. HOLM: Join. 09:56:46

3 A. Yeah, I mean, listen, it's a -- it's a 09:56:46

4 little bit tough to answer in that sort of vacuum. 09:56:47

5 It is. 09:56:50

6 What I would say is I would do my best to 09:56:52

7 support them and figure out what's going and attempt 09:56:57

8 to get them back on track. 09:57:00

9 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Attempt to get who back on 09:57:03

10 track? 09:57:05

11 A. Attempt to get the NGB back on track if -- 09:57:06

12 if, in fact, you know -- depending on what's going 09:57:09

13 on and the circumstances, you know, we would -- we 09:57:11

14 would want to support them in -- in, you know, 09:57:12

15 getting that kind of individual out of sport. 09:57:15

16 Q. When you say "get them back on track," 09:57:19

17 what do you mean by that? 09:57:20

18 A. Let's say, for example, for whatever 09:57:30

19 reason, it didn't seem like they were addressing an 09:57:32

20 issue, or they hadn't engaged the right processes, 09:57:36

21 we would, you know, work to help them identify 09:57:39

22 resources that could help them do that, or sort of, 09:57:43

23 you know, potentially suggest other paths. 09:57:47

24 Q. Well, USOC has options in that area in 09:57:51

25 that regard, right? 09:57:55

Page 56
1 MS. HOLM: Well, I have to object to the 09:57:58

2 form of the question. It's vague, ambiguous as "in 09:58:00

3 that area." 09:58:01

4 Q. (By Mr. Estey) For example, USOC could 09:58:03

5 suspend or decertify a National Governing Body if 09:58:05

6 that National Governing Body was not doing its job 09:58:09

7 in preventing coaches from having sexual relations 09:58:12

8 with an underage female. 09:58:16

9 MS. HOLM: Well, objection. Calls for a 09:58:21

10 legal conclusion, calls for speculation, it's an 09:58:23

11 incomplete hypothetical, vague and ambiguous. 09:58:26

12 If you can answer the question -- 09:58:29

13 MR. OKAMURA: I join. 09:58:30

14 MS. HOLM: -- as phrased, go ahead. 09:58:30

15 A. It would, I believe, have depended on the 09:58:37

16 timeframe what we're -- that we're talking about. 09:58:38

17 Q. (By Mr. Estey) What do you mean by that? 09:58:41

18 A. There wouldn't have been a mechanism 09:58:45

19 before December of 2013 under which there would have 09:58:51

20 been any mechanism to sort of say, Well, you're not 09:58:59

21 compliant with SafeSport. 09:59:03

22 Q. So, there would -- you're -- you're saying 09:59:05

23 that the USOC didn't have the power, prior to 2013, 09:59:06

24 to decertify or suspend a National Governing Body if 09:59:09

25 that National Governing Body was not doing its job 09:59:15

Page 57
1 in preventing coaches from having sexual relations 09:59:18

2 with an underage female? 09:59:22

3 MS. HOLM: Objection. 09:59:24

4 A. That's not what I'm saying at all. 09:59:25

5 MS. HOLM: Yes. 09:59:27

6 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Okay. What are you saying 09:59:27

7 then? 09:59:28

8 MS. HOLM: Well, no. It's argumentative 09:59:29

9 as phrased. 09:59:30

10 And I was going to object to the question 09:59:31

11 as it was argumentative in and of itself, vague and 09:59:32

12 ambiguous, an incomplete hypothetical and not the 09:59:36

13 testimony of the witness. 09:59:40

14 I would instruct her not to answer that 09:59:41

15 prior question, which she did already, so I don't 09:59:44

16 see how she can answer this question about, "What do 09:59:47

17 you mean by that answer"? 09:59:50

18 If you want to rephrase it, it will be 09:59:51

19 fine. 09:59:53

20 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Prior to -- you -- you 09:59:53

21 mentioned something about 2013, that -- that there 09:59:54

22 was power, as of 2013, for USOC to suspend or 09:59:58

23 decertify a National Governing Body, correct? 10:00:02

24 A. No. 10:00:06

25 MS. HOLM: It's December 2013? 10:00:06

Page 58
1 Is that your testimony? 10:00:12

2 THE WITNESS: No, I don't think so. 10:00:14

3 MS. HOLM: Okay. Then -- 10:00:14

4 MR. ESTEY: Okay. Stop. 10:00:14

5 MS. HOLM: -- don't worry about it. 10:00:16

6 MR. ESTEY: Go back, please, to -- and 10:00:16

7 we'll go back to the 2013 response, and we'll go 10:00:17

8 from there. Thank you. 10:00:20

9 It's -- it's like a page and a half of -- 10:00:21

10 of objections ago. 10:00:21

11 MS. HOLM: It wasn't that long. 10:00:21

12 THE WITNESS: Oh, thank you. 10:00:21

13 (Last answer read back). 10:02:01

14 MR. ESTEY: That's it. 10:02:01

15 COURT REPORTER: Okay. 10:02:01

16 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Now, what do you mean by 10:02:02

17 that, ma'am? 10:02:04

18 A. What I'm saying is that it was December of 10:02:04

19 2013 that the NGBs were required to implement the 10:02:06

20 minimum standards sort of per the USOC's bylaws. 10:02:11

21 Q. And what was the mechanism to accomplish 10:02:16

22 that objective prior to 2013, if you know? 10:02:18

23 A. I don't. 10:02:23

24 Q. You don't -- 10:02:24

25 A. I mean, I mean, I don't -- yeah, I'm 10:02:25

Page 59
1 not -- I'm not the right person to talk through the 10:02:28

2 mechanics of USOC processes for de- -- 10:02:31

3 decertification or the bases on which they would do 10:02:35

4 that. 10:02:38

5 Q. Who is that person? 10:02:38

6 A. Gary Johansen. 10:02:39

7 COURT REPORTER: Gary what? 10:02:39

8 THE WITNESS: Johansen. 10:02:43

9 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. I'll be 10:02:44

10 talking to him later. 10:02:46

11 You mentioned this imbalance of power. 10:02:48

12 What do you mean by that? 10:02:50

13 A. Any time there's a -- sort of a -- an 10:02:52

14 imbalance of power, meaning sort of someone has sort 10:02:56

15 of more social status, or they're bigger, they're, 10:03:00

16 you know, higher intellect -- I mean, it can be on a 10:03:03

17 lot of different -- higher intellect. I mean, it 10:03:11

18 can be on a lot of difference bases, that you end up 10:03:12

19 with an imbalance of power. 10:03:14

20 Q. What about a USA Taekwondo coach and -- 10:03:20

21 and -- and an athlete that's he's training, is there 10:03:26

22 an imbalance of power there? 10:03:28

23 A. There could be. 10:03:30

24 Q. How so? 10:03:31

25 A. Depending on that particular relationship 10:03:31

Page 60
1 and when that relationship started, it could be well 10:03:33

2 that that coach has, you know, by virtue of their 10:03:37

3 authority, by virtue of, you know, their ability to 10:03:42

4 affect whether or not somebody is getting into 10:03:45

5 particular competitions; you know, to the extent 10:03:49

6 that they say they control whether or not they can 10:03:51

7 get a scholarship. There are a number of different 10:03:55

8 reasons a coach may well sort of have that 10:03:58

9 additional power over an athlete, depending on the 10:04:01

10 circumstances. 10:04:03

11 Q. Are you familiar with the -- the sport of 10:04:04

12 Taekwondo? 10:04:05

13 A. Only in the broadest sense. 10:04:08

14 Q. All right. Do you know whether or not 10:04:11

15 the -- the students or -- or athletes have to 10:04:13

16 address the coach as "Master"? 10:04:16

17 A. My understanding is that they do. 10:04:18

18 Q. Do you know why they do that? 10:04:21

19 A. I don't. 10:04:22

20 Q. Having to address someone as "Master," 10:04:25

21 would that be something to look at in terms of 10:04:28

22 determining whether or not there's an imbalance of 10:04:31

23 power between a coach and athlete? 10:04:34

24 A. Yes. 10:04:36

25 Q. All right. And how so? 10:04:36

Page 61
1 A. I mean, I think -- I think that part of 10:04:37

2 what we're looking at, if you're referring to 10:04:39

3 somebody as "Master," is the authority structure 10:04:41

4 and, you know, the expectations around how you talk 10:04:45

5 to and interact with somebody else. 10:04:49

6 Q. All right. Have you ever had any 10:04:51

7 discussions with anyone at USOC regarding that 10:04:52

8 potential for imbalance of power in the -- the 10:04:55

9 Taekwondo area between the coaches and the athletes? 10:04:57

10 A. I know I have had conversations about it, 10:05:04

11 I -- I just don't recall who or when I would have 10:05:07

12 had those conversations. 10:05:12

13 Q. In general, what would those conversations 10:05:13

14 consist of? 10:05:15

15 A. I mean, in general, I mean, I think what 10:05:16

16 we talked about is that, you know, given that that 10:05:18

17 expectation that you refer to your coach as 10:05:21

18 "Master," that that does create sort of a potential 10:05:24

19 for that imbalance of power to exist. 10:05:28

20 Q. And if an athlete -- a Taekwondo athlete 10:05:32

21 wants to reach the Olympics, does he or she have to 10:05:41

22 be a -- a member of the USA Taekwondo? 10:05:45

23 A. My understanding is yes. 10:05:50

24 Q. Okay. And do you have an understanding as 10:05:52

25 to how the Olympic Taekwondo athletes are chosen? 10:05:54

Page 62
1 In other words, are they recommended by the USAT, or 10:06:01

2 does USOC go in independently and -- and judge the 10:06:05

3 athletes? 10:06:08

4 A. My understanding, in the generic, without 10:06:09

5 respect to Taekwondo specifically, is that every 10:06:12

6 Sport National Governing Body has selection 10:06:15

7 procedures that are developed by that National 10:06:18

8 Governing Body. 10:06:21

9 Q. All right. And then that National 10:06:23

10 Governing Body at some point recommends to the USOC 10:06:24

11 their chosen Olympic hopefuls, is that right? 10:06:29

12 A. I believe so. I don't know for certain. 10:06:32

13 Q. Who would know that? 10:06:35

14 A. Gary Johansen. 10:06:37

15 Q. Putting an awful lot on his plate. 10:06:39

16 All right. So, I want to go back to the 10:06:45

17 Yaz Brown Complaint. 10:06:46

18 You're getting emails -- you've already 10:06:46

19 spoken to Yaz, you're getting emails from -- from 10:06:51

20 Ronda Sweet, and you're talking to a Mr. Ruger about 10:06:54

21 the situation, right? 10:06:58

22 A. I don't believe I had conversations with 10:07:03

23 Mr. Ruger until perhaps the spring of 2014. 10:07:04

24 Q. Okay. And did you ever inquire as to 10:07:11

25 whether or not Gitelman was suspended by the USAT? 10:07:19

Page 63
1 A. I did not inquire. I received an email 10:07:24

2 indicating that Bruce Harris had suspended him, yes. 10:07:27

3 Q. When -- when did you receive that email? 10:07:31

4 A. October of 2013, I believe. 10:07:33

5 Q. And do you know why Harris sent you that 10:07:36

6 email? 10:07:38

7 A. I think it was forwarded to me. I don't 10:07:39

8 think that he sent it to me directly. I think it 10:07:41

9 may have -- I don't remember who forwarded it, 10:07:45

10 but... 10:07:46

11 Q. And did you have an understanding as to 10:07:46

12 what that suspension entailed? 10:07:48

13 A. Not without looking at the email, no. 10:07:55

14 Q. Do you know -- in your mind, when you 10:07:58

15 received that email that -- that Gitelman had been 10:07:59

16 suspended, did that mean to you that he would no 10:08:03

17 longer be able to -- to coach at USA Taekwondo 10:08:06

18 tournaments? 10:08:08

19 A. Yes. 10:08:12

20 Q. Okay. Do you know if -- after October of 10:08:12

21 2013, whether or not Gitelman coached at USA 10:08:15

22 Taekwondo tournaments? 10:08:18

23 A. I was told by other individuals that he 10:08:24

24 did sometime spring of 2014. 10:08:26

25 Q. Who told you this? 10:08:33

Page 64
1 A. I believe Ronda Sweet. 10:08:38

2 Q. And what was your response? 10:08:40

3 A. In the -- I mean, the information from 10:08:43

4 Ronda would have come via email. 10:08:45

5 I'm sure at that time that may have -- I 10:08:49

6 mean, that may have been when more internal 10:08:51

7 discussions started. 10:08:54

8 You know, this, you know -- this was 10:08:56

9 something that had happened after he had 10:08:57

10 hypothetically or allegedly had -- had coached at 10:08:59

11 these other events, so I'm sure there was some 10:09:03

12 communication at some point with Taekwondo. 10:09:05

13 Q. Did you talk to anyone at USAT after you 10:09:09

14 heard that he had -- that Gitelman had -- had -- had 10:09:13

15 coached after he had been supposedly suspended? 10:09:15

16 A. I don't recall whether I had a 10:09:19

17 conversation with them, you know, after learning of 10:09:20

18 that, or whether I had -- you know, whether it was 10:09:25

19 learning of something else. I mean, there was -- 10:09:28

20 there were certainly conversations. I -- I don't 10:09:30

21 remember the -- the timing and the order of those 10:09:32

22 conversations. 10:09:34

23 Q. Were -- were you upset when you heard that 10:09:34

24 this guy who was supposedly suspended was -- was 10:09:36

25 coaching at these tournaments? 10:09:39

Page 65
1 A. I mean, I -- listen. When I receive that 10:09:43

2 kind of information, I mean, the first thing we 10:09:45

3 always want to do is, you know, try and determine 10:09:47

4 the accuracy of the statements. 10:09:50

5 I mean, if what your asking is would it be 10:09:51

6 problematic from my perspective if that were 10:09:54

7 occurring, you know, yes. 10:09:57

8 Q. Did you look into whether or not Gitelman 10:09:59

9 coached at the USA Taekwond- -- Taekwondo tournament 10:10:01

10 after October of 2013? 10:10:02

11 A. I believe -- I -- I don't know whether I 10:10:09

12 had the conversations or somebody else within the 10:10:10

13 USOC did those inquiries. 10:10:13

14 Q. All right. Did you learn -- did you 10:10:17

15 determine whether or not he had coached following 10:10:18

16 his October 2013 suspension? 10:10:20

17 MS. HOLM: Well, I'll interpose an 10:10:25

18 objection insofar as communications with others who 10:10:25

19 are not lawyers within the USOC. 10:10:28

20 A. My understanding was that he had been at 10:10:40

21 tournaments. Whether they were USAT sanctioned or 10:10:42

22 not, I don't recall, or whether -- you know, or 10:10:46

23 whether it was hosted by somebody else. 10:10:48

24 Q. (By Mr. Estey) And did USOC take any 10:10:51

25 measures to prevent him from coaching at any 10:10:57

Page 66
1 tournaments following his October 2013 suspension? 10:10:59

2 A. The USOC would not have the opportunity 10:11:04

3 authority to do that. 10:11:07

4 Q. Okay. And what -- what do you base that 10:11:08

5 on? 10:11:10

6 A. I base that on a combination of the Ted 10:11:10

7 Stevens Act and the autonomy of the Sport National 10:11:14

8 Governing Bodies. 10:11:17

9 Q. Well, the USOC had the -- the right to 10:11:19

10 suspend or decertify USA Taekwondo in or about late 10:11:21

11 2013 or early 2014, right? 10:11:26

12 MS. HOLM: I'll object to the form of the 10:11:29

13 question. It's argumentative the way you phrased 10:11:30

14 it, but you can answer it if you can. 10:11:31

15 A. It would have had to have been 10:11:35

16 non-compliance with their bylaws or the minimum 10:11:37

17 standards. 10:11:40

18 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. If allowing 10:11:41

19 a -- a coach who had been suspended based upon 10:11:42

20 allegations of sexual misconduct, would that have 10:11:46

21 been a violation of -- of bylaws? 10:11:49

22 A. I can't -- yeah, I can't answer that under 10:11:53

23 Taekwondo's bylaws. 10:11:57

24 Q. Okay. So, you're saying the USOC could 10:12:01

25 not have suspended USA Taekwondo for allowing 10:12:15

Page 67
1 Gitelman to continue to -- to coach these 10:12:19

2 tournaments? 10:12:23

3 A. I can't answer the hypothetical on the way 10:12:24

4 it's phrased. Again, I don't have enough 10:12:27

5 information sitting here right now to answer that. 10:12:29

6 Q. What -- what information do you need? 10:12:32

7 A. I would need to look at Taekwondo's 10:12:34

8 bylaws. I would need to have conversations with, 10:12:35

9 you know, legal folks. I mean, there would be a lot 10:12:39

10 of different ind- -- there are a lot of different 10:12:42

11 things that would, I think, go into that analysis. 10:12:44

12 Q. Did you do that analysis after -- after 10:12:47

13 you heard that Gitelman was coaching post 10:12:48

14 October 2013 suspension? 10:12:51

15 MS. HOLM: It's argumentative as phrased. 10:12:53

16 If you can answer the question, go ahead. 10:12:55

17 Assumes it should have been done. 10:12:59

18 A. It would not have been a violation of the 10:13:17

19 minimum standards. And so, from my perspective, the 10:13:18

20 minimum standards sort of would have lived with me 10:13:23

21 and/or audit. I -- I don't recall anything, you 10:13:26

22 know, vis-a-vis their bylaws. 10:13:30

23 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Did you call up Harris and 10:13:32

24 say, Hey, I -- I heard Gitelman's coaching, he's 10:13:34

25 supposed to be suspended, what's going on? 10:13:37

Page 68
1 A. I don't recall whether it was Bruce Harris 10:13:40

2 or who it was. I just don't remember. 10:13:41

3 Q. Did you call up anyone at USA Taekwondo 10:13:44

4 and have that conversation; Hey, why is Gitelman 10:13:46

5 coaching, he's supposed to be suspended? 10:13:49

6 A. I don't remember whether it was me or 10:13:53

7 whether it was somebody else within the USOC. There 10:13:54

8 were conversations around that, right? I mean, 10:13:56

9 again, at some point, you know, an email came from 10:13:58

10 Ronda Sweet, and at some point, there were questions 10:14:02

11 asked about what was going on with that. 10:14:06

12 Q. And what was USA Taekwondo's response? 10:14:07

13 A. I don't recall. 10:14:17

14 Q. All right. You mentioned an audit under 10:14:17

15 the Ted Stevens Sports Act. What do you mean by 10:14:18

16 that? 10:14:22

17 A. It's not under the Ted Stevens Sports Act. 10:14:22

18 It's through the audit department. 10:14:26

19 Q. Okay. What does that mean, though? 10:14:28

20 A. Historically, you know, the audit 10:14:30

21 department looks at things like financial -- you 10:14:36

22 know, financial capabilities, you know, things like 10:14:39

23 that. 10:14:45

24 Once the minimum standards were 10:14:47

25 implemented, and, you know, a period of time had 10:14:48

Page 69
1 passed, there was an audit component added to look 10:14:56

2 at whether or not NGBs were complying with the 10:15:00

3 minimum standards. 10:15:03

4 Q. Did USOC ever determine -- strike that. 10:15:07

5 After there were conversations between 10:15:17

6 USOC and USA Taekwondo regarding Gitelman continuing 10:15:18

7 to coach following his October 2013 suspension, I 10:15:22

8 mean... 10:15:26

9 MR. ESTEY: No. Yeah, I do actually. I 10:15:26

10 lost my train of thought. 10:15:26

11 (Last question read back). 10:15:27

12 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Strike that whole 10:15:27

13 question. 10:15:59

14 Did USOC ever tell USAT to enforce the 10:15:59

15 suspension of Gitelman? 10:16:02

16 MS. HOLM: Well, object to the form of the 10:16:05

17 question. Calls for speculation. 10:16:05

18 But if you know, one way or another, 10:16:07

19 answer. 10:16:09

20 THE WITNESS: I don't. 10:16:10

21 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Okay. Who would know? 10:16:10

22 A. I don't know. 10:16:11

23 Q. All right. Are you familiar with the 10:16:12

24 official suspension list that USA Taekwondo has on 10:16:20

25 its website? 10:16:24

Page 70
1 A. Only in the generic sense from the 10:16:25

2 perspective that I understand they have one. 10:16:27

3 Q. Do you know when Gitelman was -- what the 10:16:31

4 date of suspension that's on that -- that -- that 10:16:34

5 website regarding Gitelman? 10:16:36

6 A. I don't. Again, I received an email that 10:16:39

7 I believe was a forward indicating he had been 10:16:41

8 suspended, and that was my understanding. 10:16:44

9 Q. Were -- were -- when you heard that 10:16:46

10 Gitelman was continuing to coach after his 10:16:47

11 suspension in October 2013, were you concerned about 10:16:50

12 the safety of the -- the athletes? 10:16:53

13 A. Yes. 10:16:55

14 Q. All right. And how so? 10:16:57

15 A. I mean, again, you know, any time there is 10:17:00

16 an individual who allegedly has a pattern of having 10:17:05

17 sexual relationships with their athletes, that's 10:17:08

18 always going to be concerning. 10:17:15

19 On the other hand, my understanding was 10:17:18

20 that he had been suspended. I don't know how he 10:17:19

21 ended up coaching at those tournaments, but going 10:17:22

22 back to the concept of grooming, you know, it's -- 10:17:25

23 it's -- you know, it's less likely that an 10:17:29

24 individual who's going to a one-off tournament is 10:17:31

25 going to be in a position that they're going to be 10:17:34

Page 71
1 developing a relationship such that they can have 10:17:37

2 that -- that grooming period take place, right? I 10:17:41

3 mean, it takes place over a period of time. 10:17:44

4 Q. Well, if -- if you were concerned about 10:17:46

5 the safety of the athletes after Gitelman was 10:17:47

6 coaching following suspension, what did the USOC do 10:17:53

7 to prevent him from continuing to coach? 10:17:55

8 A. The USOC does not have the authority to do 10:17:59

9 anything. 10:18:02

10 Q. But it has the authority to tell it's 10:18:02

11 National Governing Body to do something, correct? 10:18:03

12 A. No. Not correct. 10:18:07

13 Q. Why not? 10:18:08

14 MS. HOLM: Well, it's objected. 10:18:10

15 Objection. Argumentative as phrased. 10:18:10

16 I instruct you not to answer the "why 10:18:10

17 not." 10:18:15

18 A. Sorry. Is -- is the question why doesn't 10:18:17

19 the USOC have that authority? 10:18:20

20 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Yeah. 10:18:23

21 A. Again, I think it goes back to the Ted 10:18:23

22 Stevens Act and the autonomy that National Governing 10:18:26

23 Bodies have over their own processes. 10:18:28

24 Q. What portion of the Ted Stevens Act are 10:18:32

25 you referring to? 10:18:34

Page 72
1 A. I don't know. I mean, I'd have to -- 10:18:35

2 there -- it's a pretty thick document. I'd have to 10:18:36

3 look at it. 10:18:38

4 MR. OKAMURA: Counsel, at the next 10:18:41

5 opportunity, can we take a break? 10:18:41

6 MR. ESTEY: Yeah. We can take a break 10:18:46

7 right now if you want. 10:18:46

8 MR. OKAMURA: I just need to use the -- 10:18:48

9 MR. ESTEY: That's fine. We can take a 10:18:48

10 five-minute break. 10:18:51

11 THE VIDEOGRAPHER: This is the end of 10:18:53

12 Media Unit Number 1 in the deposition of Malia 10:18:53

13 Arrington. We're off the record at 10:19 a.m. 10:18:58

14 (A recess was taken from 10:19 a.m. to 10:19:04

15 10:29 a.m.) 10:19:04

16 THE VIDEOGRAPHER: This is the beginning 10:29:02

17 of Media Unit 2 in the deposition of Malia 10:29:10

18 Arrington. We're back on the record at 10:29 a.m. 10:29:12

19 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Do you know who a Mandy 10:29:16

20 Meloon is? 10:29:16

21 A. No. 10:29:19

22 Q. Ever heard of a Mandy Meloon? 10:29:19

23 MS. HOLM: Separate and apart from any 10:29:22

24 conversations you've had with attorneys in this 10:29:24

25 matter. 10:29:26

Page 73
1 A. No. 10:29:26

2 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Have you ever seen an 10:29:27

3 opinion by an arbitrator in the matter of Mandy 10:29:28

4 Meloon and USA Taekwondo? 10:29:33

5 A. No. 10:29:37

6 Q. Did you ever discuss the -- the case of 10:29:39

7 Mandy Meloon with the ten-member Working Panel? 10:29:41

8 A. No. 10:29:46

9 Is that loud enough for everyone? 10:29:55

10 Q. I'm fine. I have no complaints. 10:29:58

11 A. Okay. All right. 10:30:00

12 Q. I'm going to show you what's marked as 10:30:06

13 Exhibit 1 to your deposition. 10:30:07

14 MR. ESTEY: Here's a couple copies for you 10:30:16

15 guys. 10:30:19

16 (Plaintiffs' Deposition Exhibit 1 was 10:30:19

17 identified.) 10:30:19

18 Q. (By Mr. Estey) And this is -- it looks 10:30:30

19 like a press release about you, right? 10:30:31

20 A. Yes. 10:30:35

21 Q. Have you ever seen this before? 10:30:36

22 A. Yes. 10:30:39

23 Q. All right. And -- 10:30:39

24 MS. HOLM: Just for the record, the date 10:30:41

25 is April 20th, 2011. 10:30:42

Page 74
1 MR. ESTEY: Right. 10:30:43

2 Q. (By Mr. Estey) And did you have any role 10:30:44

3 in -- in writing this? 10:30:45

4 A. No. Not beyond, you know, fact-checking 10:30:52

5 in terms of what they were stating. 10:30:55

6 Q. All right. And then it says, "The USOC 10:30:57

7 has hired Malia Arrington as Director of Ethics and 10:30:58

8 SafeSport," right? 10:31:03

9 A. Correct. 10:31:05

10 Q. That's you? 10:31:06

11 A. Correct. 10:31:06

12 Q. And it says, "The position was created as 10:31:06

13 a result of the recommendations of the USOC's 10:31:08

14 Working Group for Safe Training Environments? 10:31:10

15 A. Yes. 10:31:14

16 Q. And that's the Working Group we've been 10:31:14

17 talking about, right? 10:31:17

18 A. Correct. 10:31:18

19 Q. Okay. And apparently in that report, the 10:31:19

20 Working Group encouraged USOC to take a leadership 10:31:21

21 role in promoting safe training environments, is 10:31:25

22 that right? 10:31:29

23 A. Correct. 10:31:30

24 Q. And like we talked about, your job's going 10:31:34

25 to be to encourage the NGBs to adopt policies, 10:31:41

Page 75
1 practices, programs and tools to address sexual and 10:31:44

2 physical misconduct, right? 10:31:52

3 A. I'm sorry. Where are you looking right 10:31:53

4 now? 10:31:55

5 Q. The third paragraph, last sentence. 10:31:55

6 MS. HOLM: Well, the middle of the last 10:31:58

7 sentence. 10:32:00

8 THE WITNESS: Here? 10:32:06

9 MS. HOLM: Yes. Right there. 10:32:08

10 A. Okay. So, internal ethics program -- 10:32:09

11 sorry. 10:32:13

12 MS. HOLM: Sorry. Here. It's right up 10:32:15

13 here. 10:32:17

14 THE WITNESS: I can't read. 10:32:18

15 MS. HOLM: There you go. 10:32:18

16 THE WITNESS: Oh, okay. 10:32:18

17 A. Correct. 10:32:24

18 Q. (By Mr. Estey) And then other than USA 10:32:25

19 Swimming, were -- were -- were you aware, when you 10:32:26

20 were hired by the USOC, of any other instances or 10:32:29

21 allegations of sexual misconduct in the National 10:32:34

22 Governing Bodies? 10:32:39

23 A. No. 10:32:41

24 Q. All right. And it looks like about 10:32:44

25 Mr. Blackmun says, "Ensuring young athletes are able 10:32:46

Page 76
1 to train in a safe environment is an incredibly high 10:32:49

2 priority for our organization." 10:32:54

3 Do you agree with that statement? 10:32:56

4 A. Yes. 10:32:58

5 Q. And then it says -- he says, "Malia is a 10:33:06

6 great fit for this new and important position, and 10:33:08

7 we're grateful that she's agreed to help us 10:33:11

8 implement initiatives which will help us to keep 10:33:14

9 kids safe." 10:33:18

10 A. Correct. 10:33:20

11 Q. Do you believe, since you've been Director 10:33:21

12 of SafeSport at USOC, that you've kept the athletes 10:33:23

13 safe? 10:33:28

14 A. I'm not really sure what you mean by that 10:33:32

15 question. Can you just rephrase it a little bit? 10:33:35

16 Q. Sure. 10:33:39

17 You see -- you see here that Blackmun says 10:33:39

18 that, you, Malia, have agreed to help us, which is 10:33:41

19 the USOC, implement initiatives which will help us 10:33:47

20 to keep the kids safe, right? 10:33:51

21 A. Correct. 10:33:54

22 Q. And do you believe that you have -- since 10:33:54

23 you've been hired by the USOC, that you have helped 10:33:57

24 keep the kids safe? 10:34:00

25 MS. HOLM: Well, you're misstating what 10:34:02

Page 77
1 you -- it says. It says "help up implement 10:34:03

2 initiatives, which will help." 10:34:06

3 MR. ESTEY: That's -- that's a good point. 10:34:07

4 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Do you believe you have 10:34:09

5 implemented initiatives which has helped the USOC to 10:34:09

6 keep the kids safe? 10:34:14

7 A. I -- I -- I would say that what I have 10:34:15

8 done is I have implemented initiatives and resources 10:34:17

9 that assist the National Governing Bodies in helping 10:34:21

10 to keep their athletes safe. 10:34:24

11 Q. And which -- which initiatives and 10:34:27

12 resources are you referring to, ma'am? 10:34:29

13 A. The majority of the resources exist on 10:34:31

14 SafeSport.org. They do include those sample 10:34:34

15 policies and procedures, frequently asked questions, 10:34:38

16 tips, a free video-based online training, and, you 10:34:41

17 know, myriad other resources. 10:34:46

18 Q. Myriad. Are there other specific 10:34:51

19 resources you're talking about? 10:34:56

20 A. Through SafeSport.org. I just -- I don't 10:34:58

21 have the website architecture memorized, so, by way 10:35:00

22 of example. 10:35:05

23 Q. All right. Here is the Working Group 10:35:07

24 report. We're going to spend some time. 10:35:09

25 You've seen this before today? 10:35:11

Page 78
1 A. Sorry? 10:35:15

2 Q. You've seen this before today? 10:35:16

3 A. Correct. 10:35:18

4 Q. And this is Exhibit 2, and it's dated 10:35:19

5 September 28, 2010, and it's entitled, "Working 10:35:22

6 Group for Safe Training Environments, 10:35:22

7 Recommendations to the USOC Board of Directors." 10:35:25

8 And this is something you -- you -- you 10:35:30

9 read before you were interviewed, right? 10:35:31

10 A. Correct. 10:35:34

11 (Plaintiffs' Deposition Exhibit 2 was 10:35:34

12 identified.) 10:35:34

13 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. Okay. If we 10:35:36

14 go to Page 3. 10:35:39

15 And it says under the objective, "The 10:35:48

16 purpose of the Working Group for Safe Training 10:35:49

17 Environments is to deliver a set of recommendations 10:35:53

18 for promoting safe training environments in sport to 10:35:57

19 the USOC Board of Directors and CEO," right? 10:36:02

20 A. For further consideration, yes. 10:36:09

21 Q. Right. Okay. 10:36:10

22 And one of the key questions the Working 10:36:12

23 Group was tasked with answering was, Is sexual and 10:36:15

24 physical misconduct a prominent issue within sport, 10:36:18

25 right? 10:36:22

Page 79
1 A. Correct. 10:36:22

2 Q. And so that was kind of their mission is 10:36:28

3 to determine whether or not sexual and physical 10:36:30

4 misconduct was a prominent issue within sport, 10:36:33

5 right? 10:36:36

6 A. It was one of their key questions, yes. 10:36:37

7 Q. Okay. What are the other key questions 10:36:40

8 they -- they had to -- to answer, do you know? 10:36:42

9 MS. HOLM: Well, it's going to call for 10:36:44

10 speculation, it's going to call for -- give a 10:36:45

11 lack -- it's a lack of foundation at this point 10:36:46

12 because she was not on the committee -- 10:36:48

13 MR. ESTEY: Well, she read -- 10:36:49

14 MS. HOLM: -- but you can answer the 10:36:49

15 question. 10:36:49

16 MR. ESTEY: -- she read the report. 10:36:51

17 MS. HOLM: Okay. Based on the report, 10:36:52

18 which speaks for itself, you can go ahead and 10:36:54

19 answer. 10:36:56

20 MR. OKAMURA: I'll join those objections. 10:36:59

21 A. So, one of the key questions was the 10:37:01

22 threshold question around whether or not sexual and 10:37:02

23 physical misconduct was a prominent issue within 10:37:06

24 sport. 10:37:08

25 Beyond that, they were also tasked with 10:37:08

Page 80
1 questions around what rule, if any, the U.S. Olympic 10:37:10

2 Committee could and should play. 10:37:13

3 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. And the 10:37:17

4 Working Group all agreed that sexual and physical 10:37:17

5 misconduct within sport was a critical issue not 10:37:23

6 only within sport but within society, right? 10:37:29

7 MS. HOLM: Well, it's argumentative of 10:37:32

8 what the document states. 10:37:34

9 But, if you can answer the question -- 10:37:36

10 A. Yes. I mean, I'm -- I'm happy to, 10:37:38

11 obviously, you know, re-read exactly what the report 10:37:39

12 says. 10:37:42

13 The report says, "The Working Group is in 10:37:42

14 unanimous agreement that this is a critical issue 10:37:44

15 within the society in which we live and, therefore, 10:37:47

16 within sport." 10:37:50

17 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. And that 10:37:51

18 sexual and physical abuse can be complicated within 10:37:52

19 sport due to the unique relationships between 10:37:56

20 athletes and authority figures, right? 10:37:59

21 A. That is what the document says, yes. 10:38:01

22 Q. All right. And you knew that, though, 10:38:02

23 when you were hired in 2011, right? 10:38:03

24 A. Yes. 10:38:07

25 Q. Okay. And you also knew that athletes 10:38:07

Page 81
1 often develop very personal relationships with 10:38:09

2 coaches, correct? 10:38:13

3 A. When -- when what? When I was hired? 10:38:16

4 Q. Yes. 10:38:20

5 A. Yes. 10:38:20

6 Q. All right. And that these personal 10:38:21

7 relationships can create substantial barriers for 10:38:24

8 reporting of incidents due to fear of repercussions, 10:38:27

9 correct? 10:38:29

10 A. Correct. 10:38:32

11 Q. All right. And you knew at the time you 10:38:33

12 were hired that the physical environments within 10:38:36

13 many sports provide an opportunity for abuse to 10:38:39

14 occur due to higher levels of physical interaction 10:38:42

15 and an increased level of one-on-one contact between 10:38:47

16 athletes and authority figures, right? 10:38:51

17 A. Correct. 10:38:53

18 Q. And you know that, based upon your 10:38:54

19 knowledge of -- of Taekwondo, that there is a lot of 10:38:58

20 physical interaction between the coach and the 10:39:02

21 athlete, right? 10:39:04

22 A. I don't know that. 10:39:08

23 Q. Okay. Has anyone ever told you that? 10:39:10

24 MS. HOLM: Separate and apart from any 10:39:13

25 attorneys involved in this litigation. 10:39:14

Page 82
1 A. I don't believe so. 10:39:17

2 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Did you ever do any 10:39:17

3 research to find out if the sport of Taekwondo 10:39:18

4 involves higher levels of physical interaction? 10:39:21

5 A. Than who? Than what sport? 10:39:26

6 The reason I'm asking the question is that 10:39:27

7 there are, obviously, plenty of sports where there 10:39:30

8 are higher levels of physical -- physical 10:39:31

9 interaction, so it's a question relative to 10:39:34

10 something else. 10:39:37

11 Q. Well, you know Taekwondo is not a team 10:39:38

12 sport, right? 10:39:41

13 A. Correct. 10:39:42

14 Q. It's an individual sport, right? 10:39:42

15 A. Correct. 10:39:44

16 Q. So, when a coach is coaching an 10:39:44

17 individual, you would agree with me that in an 10:39:46

18 individual sport, there is higher levels of physical 10:39:47

19 interaction between the coach and the athlete, 10:39:51

20 correct? 10:39:52

21 A. I would not. 10:39:54

22 Q. Okay. Why not? 10:39:54

23 A. I think -- I think perhaps what we're not 10:39:55

24 distinguishing between is the fact that if it's a -- 10:39:58

25 not a team sport, there's a higher likelihood that 10:40:00

Page 83
1 there may be one-on-one interactions, but the fact 10:40:04

2 that it's an individual sport and not a team sport 10:40:06

3 doesn't lead to the conclusion that there are higher 10:40:08

4 levels of physical interaction as relative to some 10:40:11

5 others, perhaps. 10:40:13

6 Q. What are you basing that on? 10:40:15

7 A. I'm basing it on the fact that there are 10:40:17

8 obviously plenty of sports where we know there are 10:40:19

9 physical contact by virtue of needing to spot, or 10:40:20

10 to, you know, help manipulate a body. I mean, there 10:40:24

11 are other sports where there's, you know, physical 10:40:28

12 contact. 10:40:32

13 So, again, I view that as a question 10:40:32

14 relative to other sports. 10:40:34

15 Q. All right. Now, you would agree with me 10:40:37

16 that at the time you were hired by USOC, that 10:40:39

17 current events within religious organizations -- 10:40:42

18 MS. HOLM: Page 4. 10:40:49

19 Q. (By Mr. Estey) -- suggest that sexual and 10:40:49

20 physical abuse is an issue that needs to be 10:40:49

21 addressed across multiple fronts? 10:40:52

22 A. Yes. 10:40:58

23 Q. Okay. And you would agree that you knew, 10:41:01

24 as of 2011, that a small percentage of participants 10:41:03

25 use sports venues as a means for perpetrating abuse, 10:41:11

Page 84
1 correct? 10:41:15

2 A. I -- I -- I -- I guess I would disagree 10:41:20

3 with the statement that they've made here. I mean, 10:41:21

4 I think what we're talking about is that some 10:41:24

5 participants and individuals use sport as a way to 10:41:28

6 gain access to kids. Sports venues are -- I mean, I 10:41:32

7 don't know what "sports venues" mean -- 10:41:40

8 Q. All right. 10:41:42

9 A. -- as they're using it here. 10:41:42

10 Q. But you would agree with the -- the 10:41:43

11 statement that some predators would use sports to 10:41:44

12 gain access to victims, right? 10:41:47

13 A. Yes. 10:41:52

14 Q. And you knew that in 2011, right? 10:41:52

15 A. Yes. 10:41:55

16 Q. All right. Did you ever have any 10:41:56

17 discussions with anyone at -- at USOC as to whether 10:41:59

18 or not they were aware, prior to 2011, of the fact 10:42:02

19 that some sexual predators would use sports as a 10:42:05

20 means to gain access to victims? 10:42:09

21 A. As a general proposition? 10:42:14

22 Q. Yeah. 10:42:16

23 A. As a general proposition, I'm sure that at 10:42:16

24 some point we talked about sort of, you know, the 10:42:19

25 basics and what the research would tell us, yeah. 10:42:22

Page 85
1 Q. All right. So, this -- this is not -- 10:42:25

2 when you -- when you read this in 2011, or 20 -- 10:42:26

3 20 -- yeah, 2011, you would have read this in 2011, 10:42:29

4 this was not new to you, right? 10:42:32

5 A. No. 10:42:35

6 Q. All right. And you knew when you were 10:42:39

7 hired in 2011 that sexual predators, when they abuse 10:42:44

8 their victims, it can have a dramatic impact on 10:42:54

9 their life, right? 10:42:59

10 A. Yes. 10:43:00

11 Q. And you've talked to psychologists and 10:43:02

12 psychiatrists about the lifelong effects of -- of 10:43:04

13 being a victim of sexual abuse, right? 10:43:07

14 A. Yes. 10:43:11

15 Q. All right. And what have they told you? 10:43:12

16 A. I mean, we've obviously talked about sort 10:43:14

17 of signs and symptoms and long-term impacts in terms 10:43:16

18 of mental health and physical health. 10:43:21

19 Q. And the Working Group, at some point, 10:43:39

20 conveyed to USOC that the -- the predominant theme 10:43:48

21 that emerged after discussing this issue with NGBs, 10:43:52

22 coaches, victims, that increasing awareness of 10:43:58

23 sexual and physical abuse in sport was the most 10:44:05

24 meaningful and important action that can be taken in 10:44:08

25 promoting safe training environments, right? 10:44:12

Page 86
1 A. That is what the report says, yes. 10:44:15

2 Q. And was that what SafeSport was designed 10:44:20

3 to do then? 10:44:22

4 A. What SafeSport was designed to do is 10:44:24

5 subscribe to basically, over these -- over the 10:44:26

6 recommended actions that begin on Page 5. 10:44:32

7 Q. Okay. And then the Working Group also 10:44:35

8 said that training and education were identified as 10:44:36

9 key pillars to raising a broader awareness of sexual 10:44:39

10 and physical abuse across key stakeholder groups in 10:44:41

11 sport. Do you see that? 10:44:46

12 A. The report says that, yes. 10:44:48

13 Q. Yeah. 10:44:49

14 Prior to 2010, what type of training and 10:44:49

15 education were available to the NGBs from the USOC? 10:44:54

16 A. I'm not aware of resources being made 10:45:07

17 available to the NGBs before that. 10:45:10

18 Q. So, there was no requirement from the USOC 10:45:15

19 that the NGBs implement training and education to 10:45:19

20 raise a broader awareness of sexual and physical 10:45:23

21 abuse prior to 2010? 10:45:25

22 MR. OKAMURA: Objection. Lacks 10:45:30

23 foundation, misstates witness' testimony, lacks 10:45:30

24 personal knowledge. 10:45:32

25 MS. HOLM: Join in the objection. 10:45:35

Page 87
1 A. The first education requirement I am aware 10:45:40

2 of began in December 2013. 10:45:44

3 Q. (By Mr. Estey) And under the USC's -- 10:45:47

4 USOC's role in addressing this issue, it says, 10:45:55

5 "Addressing" -- "addressing the issue of safe 10:45:59

6 training environments in sport will require a call 10:46:02

7 to action for all members within the sports 10:46:06

8 community, including members of the Olympic movement 10:46:08

9 and other grassroots sports organizations." 10:46:12

10 Now, is it your understanding that members 10:46:15

11 of the Olympic movement would -- would include the 10:46:17

12 National Governing Bodies? 10:46:20

13 A. Yes. 10:46:26

14 Q. Okay. And then it says, "The USOC is 10:46:27

15 poised to play a unique role as a leader in 10:46:47

16 promoting safe training environments in sport given 10:46:50

17 its position as the needs" -- "the nation's elite 10:46:54

18 sport organization." 10:46:57

19 MS. HOLM: I think you said "it says." 10:46:59

20 What page are you on, and what paragraph? 10:47:01

21 MR. ESTEY: Page 4. I'm sorry. 10:47:03

22 THE WITNESS: Page 4, under the -- 10:47:03

23 MS. HOLM: Okay. I'm sorry. 10:47:05

24 THE WITNESS: -- it's the last paragraph. 10:47:07

25 MS. HOLM: I went over to Page 5 already. 10:47:07

Page 88
1 THE WITNESS: It's the last paragraph. 10:47:09

2 MS. HOLM: Okay. 10:47:09

3 MR. ESTEY: Yeah, because you want to go 10:47:09

4 home. 10:47:10

5 MS. HOLM: Nope. Nope. Just because 10:47:11

6 it's -- it's interesting reading. 10:47:12

7 Q. (By Mr. Estey) It goes on to say, "The 10:47:13

8 USOC, NGBs and clubs have the ability to leverage 10:47:15

9 their brands to drive adoption of innovative and 10:47:20

10 meaningful tools for addressing sexual and physical 10:47:24

11 misconduct in sport, enhance the collaborative 10:47:29

12 development of programs," slash, "services that 10:47:35

13 promote safe training environments, and promote 10:47:39

14 further awareness of the issue of sexual and 10:47:45

15 physical abuse within sport. 10:47:49

16 And -- and then it says that "The Working 10:47:56

17 Group viewed this topic to be within the purview of 10:47:57

18 the USOC, and recommended that the USOC play a 10:48:01

19 leadership role in promoting safe environments for 10:48:06

20 athletes in sports." Do you see that? 10:48:10

21 A. Yes. 10:48:13

22 Q. Okay. Prior to this recommendation, do 10:48:13

23 you have an understanding as to whether or not USOC 10:48:18

24 was playing a leadership role in promoting safe 10:48:23

25 environments for athletes in sports? 10:48:26

Page 89
1 MS. HOLM: Objection. Calls for 10:48:29

2 speculation, lack of foundation. 10:48:29

3 If you can answer, go ahead. 10:48:31

4 A. I don't. 10:48:33

5 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Did you ever talk to 10:48:34

6 anyone at USOC regarding whether or not USOC was 10:48:36

7 playing a leadership role in promoting safe 10:48:41

8 environments for athletes in sports prior to 10:48:44

9 September of 2010? 10:48:48

10 A. Not that I recall. 10:48:50

11 Q. And if you look at Page 5 under the bullet 10:48:53

12 points for the "Recommended Actions," and they -- 10:49:13

13 they provided a sample policy statement for 10:49:15

14 consideration, which is, "Sexual and physical abuse 10:49:19

15 is inconsistent with the Olympic ideals, and the 10:49:22

16 USOC will work with its partners to play a 10:49:26

17 leadership role promoting safe training environments 10:49:32

18 for athletes." Do you see that? 10:49:35

19 A. I do. 10:49:38

20 Q. Did -- prior to 2010, did USOC have a 10:49:40

21 policy statement in this regard in effect, to your 10:49:47

22 knowledge? 10:49:52

23 MS. HOLM: Okay. Objection. Calls for 10:49:53

24 speculation, lack of foundation. 10:49:55

25 But answer it if you can. 10:49:57

Page 90
1 A. Previous to this time, there was a 10:50:03

2 Coaching Ethics Code that wouldn't have said this 10:50:06

3 specifically, but that certainly addressed sexual 10:50:09

4 harassment and relationships and involving an 10:50:12

5 imbalance of power. 10:50:19

6 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Where would I find that? 10:50:20

7 A. I -- I -- I don't know where you'd find, I 10:50:26

8 mean, the Coaching Code of Ethics. I -- it's -- 10:50:27

9 it's been a part of the games' policies for a long 10:50:29

10 time. You know, we've -- we've got copies of that 10:50:32

11 somewhere. 10:50:37

12 Q. And under the second recommendation, the 10:50:40

13 Working Group wanted the USOC to develop an 10:50:43

14 effective sexual and physical abuse training program 10:50:46

15 for athletes, coaches and other regular participants 10:50:50

16 at the Olympic Training Centers, is that right? 10:50:53

17 A. Correct. 10:50:57

18 Q. Prior to September of 2010, do you know if 10:50:59

19 USOC had a sexual and physical abuse training 10:51:02

20 program for athletes, coaches and other participants 10:51:07

21 at the OTCs? 10:51:11

22 A. Not to my knowledge. 10:51:14

23 Q. Okay. Then, on Page 6, it looks like one 10:51:25

24 of the recommendations was that USOC provide a 10:51:28

25 centralized set of training and education materials 10:51:30

Page 91
1 focused on sexual and physical misconduct that can 10:51:34

2 be adopted by the NGBs, right? 10:51:38

3 A. Yes. 10:51:41

4 Q. And we've talked about that, right? 10:51:41

5 You've talked about how you've gotten online 10:51:42

6 resources for the NGBs, right? 10:51:45

7 A. Correct. 10:51:48

8 Q. Okay. So, it looks like the USOC then 10:51:48

9 adopted this recommendation, right? 10:51:52

10 A. It was implemented certainly, yes. 10:51:57

11 Q. And prior to 2010, was there any sort of 10:51:58

12 centralized set of training and education materials? 10:52:01

13 MS. HOLM: Calls -- calls for speculation. 10:52:02

14 Q. (By Mr. Estey) If you know. 10:52:03

15 A. Yeah. To the best of my knowledge, they 10:52:04

16 wouldn't have been available through the USOC. 10:52:05

17 There are, obviously, a lot of other resources that 10:52:07

18 are quite available to any sport organization. 10:52:11

19 Q. To your knowledge, was there anything 10:52:14

20 preventing the USOC from adopting or -- or 10:52:14

21 implementing recommendations that are laid out in 10:52:18

22 Exhibit 2 prior to September of 2010? 10:52:21

23 MS. HOLM: Objection. Calls for 10:52:27

24 speculation, lack of foundation. 10:52:27

25 Can you answer the question? 10:52:32

Page 92
1 A. Sorry. Could you repeat the question? 10:52:35

2 Sorry. I -- I -- I get confused, kind of, when the 10:52:36

3 objections come. Could you just repeat it, please. 10:52:38

4 Q. I do too. Don't -- don't feel bad. 10:52:43

5 MS. HOLM: I'm sorry. 10:52:43

6 THE WITNESS: It's -- it's' my small 10:53:10

7 brain. You're fine. 10:53:10

8 (Last question read back). 10:53:10

9 A. I'm not aware of anything that would have 10:53:11

10 prevented them from creating resources, no. 10:53:13

11 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Okay. On Page 7, under 10:53:18

12 "Working Group Approach and Metho-" -- "Methodology, 10:53:30

13 third paragraph from the bottom, it says, "While the 10:53:30

14 Working Group addressed both sexual and physical 10:53:36

15 abuse within the scope of this report, the majority 10:53:38

16 of the feedback from athletes, NGBs and coaches was 10:53:42

17 directly related to sexual abuse." 10:53:47

18 Is that your understanding, that sexual 10:53:50

19 abuse, at least as of 2010, was more of an issue 10:53:54

20 than physical abuse? 10:53:59

21 A. I can only answer it to the extent that 10:54:00

22 this is -- that what the document says. I don't 10:54:03

23 have personal knowledge of that. 10:54:07

24 Q. Okay. And you read the -- the -- the 10:54:09

25 "Working Group Methodology" on Page 9, right? 10:54:32

Page 93
1 A. Correct. 10:54:37

2 Q. And you're comfortable with how they went 10:54:37

3 about their -- their -- their job? 10:54:40

4 MS. HOLM: Objection. Irrelevant and 10:54:41

5 immaterial -- 10:54:43

6 Q. (By Mr. Estey) You're -- you're -- 10:54:44

7 MS. HOLM: Vague and ambiguous. 10:54:44

8 Q. (By Mr. Estey) -- you're not critical of 10:54:46

9 how -- how the -- the Working Group completed its 10:54:48

10 task, are you? 10:54:50

11 A. No. 10:54:52

12 Q. Okay. Okay. Look at Page 12. 10:54:53

13 And in the second bullet point, it talks 10:55:13

14 about ensuring that the USOC Olympic Training 10:55:16

15 Centers are implementing the highest standards of 10:55:20

16 training programs and policies to address sexual and 10:55:23

17 physical misconduct. Do you see that? 10:55:27

18 A. I do. 10:55:29

19 Q. All right. Now, prior to September of 10:55:30

20 2010, do you know if the -- there were a -- a set of 10:55:33

21 training programs and policies to address sexual and 10:55:38

22 physical misconduct at the Olympic Training Centers? 10:55:42

23 A. Whether there were a set of policies to 10:55:54

24 address this is what you're asking? 10:55:55

25 Q. Yes, ma'am. 10:55:58

Page 94
1 A. I don't know whether there were a set of 10:56:00

2 policies. Again, I think there were -- you know, 10:56:03

3 there were statements through the Coaching Ethics 10:56:07

4 Code and other documents. 10:56:10

5 Q. Okay. Look at Page 14, please. 10:56:13

6 And this is a section on -- on, basically, 10:56:16

7 education of it looks coaches, NGBs, athletes, and 10:56:21

8 then it gets to parents, right? 10:56:26

9 A. Page 14 appears to address athlete 10:56:29

10 training and education and parents training and 10:56:31

11 education, yes. 10:56:33

12 Q. All right. And it talks about education 10:56:36

13 on parental responsibilities and oversight for their 10:56:37

14 children in sport, right? 10:56:41

15 A. Yes. 10:56:42

16 Q. Okay. Did the USOC come up with any sort 10:56:42

17 of policies or procedures or educational materials 10:56:45

18 regarding parental responsibilities and oversight 10:56:49

19 for their children in sport? 10:56:52

20 A. Yes. 10:56:54

21 Q. All right. And when did they do that? 10:56:54

22 A. Some of the written resources would have 10:56:59

23 been available beginning in 2012. Subsequently, an 10:57:01

24 online training directed specifically at parents was 10:57:10

25 developed maybe 2014. I don't quite remember when 10:57:17

Page 95
1 that was rolled out. 10:57:19

2 Q. Were you in charge of that? 10:57:20

3 A. Yeah. 10:57:22

4 Q. Okay. And prior to you developing these 10:57:22

5 training -- or the policies for the -- for the 10:57:28

6 parents, do you know if there was any sort of 10:57:29

7 educational materials put out by the USOC to the 10:57:34

8 parents in this regard? 10:57:38

9 A. I don't know. 10:57:39

10 Q. All right. And what -- what type of 10:57:40

11 policies or -- or education have you put together 10:57:41

12 for the parents? 10:57:43

13 A. So, on the website, we developed sort of 10:57:48

14 tips for parents; you know, things that they can ask 10:57:51

15 to make sure that their sport organizations have 10:57:55

16 policies and procedures in place, that they are 10:57:59

17 conducting criminal background checks, whatever 10:58:03

18 their policies might be related to SafeSport. 10:58:06

19 So, again, tips, frequently asked 10:58:09

20 questions. 10:58:11

21 The online training itself is sort of a 10:58:11

22 shortened version of the existing 90-minute 10:58:15

23 SafeSport training that walks through some of the 10:58:17

24 more critical points around emotional, physical and 10:58:22

25 sexual abuse. 10:58:25

Page 96
1 Q. All right. And the -- the -- the stuff 10:58:27

2 you've put online, it makes sure that -- that the 10:58:27

3 parents are aware of the rules and boundaries that 10:58:29

4 the athlete and the coach should follow, right? 10:58:32

5 A. They are resources available to parents 10:58:37

6 for them to -- to understand those boundaries and to 10:58:38

7 understand grooming and other behaviors like that. 10:58:41

8 Q. Okay. And does it talk about chaperones 10:58:44

9 at all on -- on overnight tournament trips? 10:58:46

10 A. The SafeSport handbook has sample policies 10:58:49

11 around local and overnight travel. 10:58:52

12 Q. All right. And what does it say regarding 10:58:56

13 local and overnight travel? 10:58:58

14 A. The training also goes into this, but, 10:59:00

15 obviously, with local and overnight travel, sort of 10:59:03

16 making sure that sport organizations have policies 10:59:06

17 vis-a-vis local travel, and making sure that, to the 10:59:11

18 extent possible, a coach isn't alone -- alone with a 10:59:19

19 child who is not his or her -- his or her child, 10:59:22

20 basically, you know, to the extent possible. 10:59:26

21 On the overnight travel piece, they talk 10:59:30

22 about, you know, chaperoning and bed checks and 10:59:33

23 things like that. 10:59:37

24 Q. And you know, based upon your education, 10:59:38

25 training and experience, that a sexual predator, in 10:59:40

Page 97
1 order for him to sexually abuse a -- a child, needs 10:59:45

2 to get that child alone, right? 10:59:49

3 MS. HOLM: Well, I'll interpose an 10:59:52

4 objection. It's calling a little bit for an 10:59:54

5 expertise question. 10:59:56

6 MR. OKAMURA: Join the objection. 10:59:58

7 MS. HOLM: In terms of just generalities 10:59:59

8 and your knowledge. 11:00:00

9 A. Yeah. Not necessarily. I mean, I think 11:00:01

10 we certainly are aware of incidents where the 11:00:03

11 individual has done such a good job of also grooming 11:00:06

12 parents, that they will, in fact, engage in sexual 11:00:10

13 contact or sexual acts with the parents in the front 11:00:14

14 seat, for example. 11:00:18

15 So, I mean, I can't say that it's 11:00:20

16 exclusive. I understand what you're saying as a 11:00:22

17 general matter. 11:00:26

18 Q. (By Mr. Estey) That -- that fact pattern 11:00:26

19 you just gave me, is that something that has 11:00:28

20 anything to do with any of the NGBs? 11:00:31

21 A. No. It's a fact pattern that probably 11:00:32

22 came out of Anna Salter's work. 11:00:34

23 Q. I know Salter. 11:00:39

24 All right. But, in general, you agree 11:00:41

25 with me that in order for a -- a pedophile or a 11:00:43

Page 98
1 sexual predator to sexually abuse an underage 11:00:45

2 female, he needs to get her alone, correct? 11:00:50

3 A. Access and privacy, yes. 11:00:52

4 Q. Okay. And that's what your policies and 11:00:55

5 procedures are designed to prevent, right? 11:00:56

6 A. In part, yes. Yep. 11:01:02

7 (Plaintiffs' Deposition Exhibit 3 was 11:01:03

8 identified.) 11:01:03

9 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Let me show you marked 11:01:06

10 Exhibit 3. 11:01:06

11 MR. ESTEY: And, Peggy, I'm going faster 11:01:21

12 than I normally would for you, okay? So... 11:01:22

13 MS. HOLM: You're my hero. 11:01:25

14 MR. ESTEY: Yeah. 11:01:26

15 MS. HOLM: We didn't read every paragraph. 11:01:26

16 THE WITNESS: Listen, I'm more than happy 11:01:29

17 to talk faster than I already am, if that will 11:01:31

18 help -- 11:01:33

19 (Laughter). 11:01:33

20 MS. HOLM: You would be my heroine. 11:01:33

21 THE WITNESS: I'm kidding. 11:01:34

22 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. This is from 11:01:37

23 February 9th, 2015, and it says, "U.S. Olympic 11:01:40

24 Committee Announces Formation of U.S. Center for 11:01:44

25 SafeSport Advisory Council." 11:01:44

Page 99
1 This is the physical center we talked 11:01:49

2 about earlier, right? 11:01:50

3 I -- this is -- this is an article, I 11:01:55

4 guess. 11:01:57

5 A. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes. Yeah. Yep. 11:01:57

6 Q. Okay. And the third paragraph of this -- 11:01:59

7 this article, it says, "There is national agency 11:02:02

8 today that is responsible for the safety and 11:02:06

9 wellbeing of young athletes, and we're in a position 11:02:08

10 to lead this important effort, said USOC CEO Scott 11:02:12

11 Blackmun." 11:02:17

12 Have you ever had discussions with -- with 11:02:18

13 Blackmun regarding that USOC was in a position to -- 11:02:20

14 to lead the effort to keep the athletes safe? 11:02:27

15 A. Well, I mean, that would have come from 11:02:34

16 two places. I mean, obviously, there's a statement 11:02:36

17 around the USOC's ability to play a leadership role 11:02:39

18 in the 2010 Working Group recommendations, and, you 11:02:41

19 know, subsequently, what we're talking about is this 11:02:46

20 independent agency. And that would have come, at a 11:02:49

21 minimum, through the 2013 Working Group for Case 11:02:55

22 Management Recommendations. 11:02:57

23 Q. But have you had conversations with 11:03:01

24 Black -- with Mr. Blackmun in that regard? 11:03:02

25 A. I'm confident that at some point, as we 11:03:05

Page 100
1 were discussing the Working Group's -- the 2013 11:03:08

2 Working Group's progress, that we would have had 11:03:11

3 conversations about the USOC's ability to create 11:03:15

4 this new center. 11:03:19

5 (Plaintiffs' Deposition Exhibit 4 was 11:03:20

6 identified.) 11:03:20

7 Q. I'm showing you what's marked as 11:03:27

8 Exhibit 4? 11:03:30

9 MS. HOLM: And, I'm sorry. For Exhibit 3, 11:03:37

10 did we identify the date on the record? 11:03:38

11 MR. ESTEY: I thought we did, but -- 11:03:41

12 MS. HOLM: Okay. I just wanted to make 11:03:43

13 sure. 11:03:45

14 MR. ESTEY: No worries. 11:03:45

15 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Exhibit 4. 11:03:45

16 Is that you? 11:03:46

17 A. Unfortunately, yes. 11:03:47

18 MS. HOLM: I have this one too. 11:03:51

19 MR. LITTLE: Did you go to UVA too? 11:03:55

20 MS. HOLM: No, but I do the same thing you 11:03:58

21 guys do. 11:04:00

22 MR. LITTLE: Oh. 11:04:00

23 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. So, it says -- 11:04:00

24 this is a -- I guess a little bio from the 11:04:01

25 University of Virginia School of Law, right? 11:04:05

Page 101
1 A. Correct. 11:04:09

2 Q. It says that you developed centralized and 11:04:11

3 standardized resources for our National Governing 11:04:13

4 Bodies. We've talked about that, right? 11:04:15

5 A. I don't know where you are, but -- 11:04:18

6 Q. I'm sorry. It says -- 11:04:19

7 A. -- as a general matter. 11:04:19

8 Q. It says, "Can you describe your role as 11:04:20

9 Director of Ethics?" And it says -- 11:04:22

10 A. Oh, okay. Yep. 11:04:23

11 Q. But that's what -- we talked about that. 11:04:25

12 A. Yep. Yep. Sorry. I was just making sure 11:04:31

13 I was on the same page. Yep. 11:04:34

14 (Plaintiffs' Deposition Exhibit 5 was 11:04:36

15 identified.) 11:04:36

16 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. And I'm going 11:04:37

17 to show you an article that's a Professional 11:04:48

18 Skaters' Association, it looks like, that you 11:04:49

19 apparently helped put together. It's Exhibit 5. 11:04:53

20 Have you seen this document before? 11:04:57

21 A. I don't recall it sitting here right now. 11:05:15

22 Q. Do you recall providing content for 11:05:19

23 this -- it looks like a -- I don't know if it's an 11:05:22

24 article or a guideline? Do you recall having input 11:05:28

25 on this? 11:05:33

Page 102
1 A. I don't. You know, I recall having 11:05:35

2 conversations with the people who are listed at the 11:05:38

3 top of it. I don't -- I don't recall the process, 11:05:42

4 though. 11:05:44

5 Q. You would agree, though, that -- that in 11:05:46

6 the event that a coach, employee, official, 11:05:52

7 director, parent or volunteer, if they observe 11:05:57

8 inappropriate havoir- (sic) -- inappropriate 11:06:01

9 behaviors, suspected physical or sexual abuse, it's 11:06:01

10 a personal responsibility of each member to 11:06:07

11 immediately report these observations, correct? 11:06:09

12 A. Correct. 11:06:17

13 Q. And it looks like that U.S. Figure Skating 11:06:18

14 had a plan for advising the proper supervision of 11:06:21

15 members and participants during all program 11:06:23

16 activities and to minimize one-on-one interactions 11:06:26

17 between a coach, right? 11:06:30

18 A. That is what the document states, yes. 11:06:31

19 Q. All right. And you would agree, that's a 11:06:33

20 good policy to have, right? 11:06:36

21 A. Yes. 11:06:38

22 Q. All right. And that would have been a 11:06:39

23 good policy to have from the years 2007 to -- to 11:06:41

24 today, right? 11:06:45

25 A. Yeah. 11:06:49

Page 103
1 Q. Okay. If you look at the second -- second 11:06:50

2 page, it talks about "Boundary-Violating Behaviors." 11:06:52

3 Do you see that? 11:06:57

4 A. Yes. 11:06:58

5 Q. Did you provide any information on 11:06:59

6 boundary-violating behaviors, if you recall? 11:07:01

7 A. I don't recall it in this specific 11:07:10

8 context. I mean, certainly part of what we have 11:07:12

9 done through SafeSport is talked about boundary 11:07:14

10 violations. 11:07:16

11 Q. All right. And these are examples of -- 11:07:17

12 of actions that aren't necessarily criminal, but 11:07:19

13 basically are -- are -- amount to grooming, right? 11:07:22

14 If -- petting a child on the rear-end, hugging and 11:07:23

15 kissing, holding hands? 11:07:28

16 MS. HOLM: Well, I have to interpose an 11:07:33

17 objection to the question. 11:07:33

18 You're asking for an expert opinion, and 11:07:35

19 the way you phrased it, you're just saying that 11:07:39

20 patting the butt is grooming? 11:07:40

21 MR. ESTEY: Well, I'll -- I'll just 11:07:43

22 rephrase it. 11:07:43

23 Q. (By Mr. Estey) You would agree that in 11:07:44

24 your -- based upon your training, education and 11:07:45

25 experience, that, you know, that an adult coach 11:07:47

Page 104
1 patting a -- a child on the butt or hugging and 11:07:50

2 kissing the child or holding hands, that could be 11:07:51

3 evidence of grooming, right? 11:07:56

4 MS. HOLM: Well, it's still calling for an 11:07:58

5 expert opinion. 11:08:00

6 You can answer it to the extent you can 11:08:02

7 with regard to your position and what you know. 11:08:04

8 MR. OKAMURA: I join in that objection. 11:08:06

9 A. It could. I think these are better 11:08:09

10 described as boundary violations, but it could. 11:08:11

11 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Okay. What's a butt pad? 11:08:15

12 A. I don't know, but I'm assuming that it -- 11:08:19

13 it's figure skating, so I'm assuming it has 11:08:20

14 something to do with the fact that they have the 11:08:21

15 unfortunate experience of falling on the ice a lot. 11:08:26

16 Q. Turek's probably wearing one right now. 11:08:26

17 A. Things I don't need to know. 11:08:30

18 MS. HOLM: TMI. 11:08:33

19 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. "Behaviors to 11:08:35

20 Avoid." You would agree that behaviors to avoid 11:08:36

21 would be spending -- spending time alone with a 11:08:39

22 minor, becoming the minor's friend as opposed to an 11:08:41

23 authority figure, hanging out, instant messaging, 11:08:44

24 texting, sharing photos, and touching the minor in 11:08:47

25 any way not directly related to achieving a skill. 11:08:52

Page 105
1 These are all behaviors that a coach should avoid, 11:08:55

2 correct? 11:08:59

3 MS. HOLM: Again, it's calling for an 11:09:00

4 expert opinion, but you can answer the question in 11:09:01

5 terms of your role. 11:09:04

6 A. Yeah. I mean, I think -- I think the best 11:09:04

7 way to summarize it is particularly spending time 11:09:07

8 alone with the minor. I think what we're talking 11:09:10

9 about is spending time with them, like as in 11:09:12

10 out-of-program contact, yes. 11:09:15

11 Q. (By Mr. Estey) But you would agree, 11:09:18

12 though, this policy of -- of a coach not spending 11:09:18

13 time alone with a minor, becoming a minor's friend, 11:09:19

14 social media, and touching the minor in any way not 11:09:23

15 directly related to achieving a skill, those are 11:09:26

16 good policies to have in order to prevent sexual 11:09:29

17 abuse, correct? 11:09:33

18 A. I think what this document is talking 11:09:34

19 about are behaviors to avoid. I think that you 11:09:37

20 can -- you can recommend policies that will help 11:09:41

21 people avoid these behaviors, yes. 11:09:47

22 MR. ESTEY: Can I have my question read 11:09:50

23 back, please? 11:09:51

24 (Last question read back). 11:09:52

25 A. Are you re-asking me that question? 11:10:26

Page 106
1 MS. HOLM: She answered the question. 11:10:27

2 MR. ESTEY: Yes. 11:10:27

3 MS. HOLM: Did you have another question? 11:10:27

4 MR. ESTEY: No, ma'am. You didn't answer 11:10:29

5 the question. That's why I'm -- I had her re- -- 11:10:29

6 redo it. 11:10:34

7 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Do you understand the 11:10:36

8 question? 11:10:36

9 A. I understand the question, yes. 11:10:37

10 Q. All right. Could you answer it, please. 11:10:37

11 A. Yeah. So, what I was trying to say was 11:10:38

12 if -- if we're continuing to look at this document, 11:10:40

13 I think what they're talking about, again, are 11:10:41

14 behaviors to avoid. 11:10:44

15 If we're not talking about this document, 11:10:45

16 then yes, I would agree that you could create 11:10:45

17 policies around some of these as a method of 11:10:47

18 mitigating high risk situations. 11:10:51

19 Q. All right. Separate and apart from this 11:10:53

20 document, you would agree that a coach should not be 11:10:55

21 spending time alone with the athlete, should not be 11:10:59

22 becoming the minor's friend, should not be hanging 11:11:01

23 out, instant messaging, texting, and shouldn't be 11:11:04

24 touching a minor in a way not directly related to 11:11:08

25 achieving a skill, right? 11:11:11

Page 107
1 A. As a general statement, yes. 11:11:13

2 Q. Okay. And preventing these behaviors, in 11:11:16

3 other words, a coach spending time alone with a 11:11:20

4 minor, becoming a minor's friend, if you prevent 11:11:22

5 these behaviors, you -- you have a better shot at 11:11:25

6 preventing sexual abuse, correct? 11:11:28

7 MR. OKAMURA: Objection. Calls for 11:11:31

8 speculation, calls for expert testimony. 11:11:31

9 MS. HOLM: Join in the objection. 11:11:34

10 If you can answer the question generally, 11:11:35

11 based upon your experience and your job 11:11:37

12 responsibilities. 11:11:39

13 A. Yes, these are risk mitigating approaches. 11:11:40

14 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Okay. And these risk 11:11:44

15 mitigating approaches were available to both the 11:11:46

16 NGBs and the USOC prior to 2010, correct? 11:11:49

17 MS. HOLM: Argumentative as phrased. 11:11:55

18 Calls for speculation and foundation. 11:11:56

19 A. Yeah. So, I mean, the information 11:11:58

20 that's -- that's stated here, and the information 11:12:00

21 that we've talked about in terms of mitigating high 11:12:02

22 risk situations, have, quite frankly, long been 11:12:04

23 available in a lot of places. It's -- it's not 11:12:08

24 specific to -- to us. 11:12:11

25 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. It's not 11:12:13

Page 108
1 specific to 2010. It was available in 2000, 2005, 11:12:14

2 2007, correct? 11:12:20

3 A. This information would have been available 11:12:21

4 at the time, yeah. 11:12:23

5 Q. All right. During those time periods; 11:12:23

6 2000, 2005, 2007? 11:12:24

7 A. I think these are strategies that have 11:12:27

8 been consistent over time, yes. 11:12:29

9 Q. Okay. Now, you would agree that it's a 11:12:31

10 good policy to have that regardless of gender, a 11:12:35

11 coach shall not share a hotel room or other sleeping 11:12:40

12 arrangement with an athlete? 11:12:43

13 MS. HOLM: Unless the coach is a parent, 11:12:46

14 guardian, sibling of that particular athlete. 11:12:48

15 MR. ESTEY: Yeah, but that wasn't my 11:12:52

16 question. 11:12:53

17 MS. HOLM: I know, but it's -- well, then 11:12:54

18 I'll object to your question. It's an incomplete 11:12:55

19 hypothetical. 11:12:58

20 A. As a general rule, yes. 11:13:01

21 Q. (By Mr. Estey) You would agree that 11:13:04

22 coaches should avoid transporting athletes in their 11:13:05

23 personal vehicles? 11:13:08

24 A. As a general practice, yes. 11:13:11

25 Q. And you would agree with me that athletes 11:13:13

Page 109
1 are most vulner- -- vulnerable to misconduct during 11:13:14

2 travel, right? 11:13:20

3 A. That has been identified as one of the 11:13:20

4 highest -- highest risk situations, yes. 11:13:23

5 Q. And so you would agree that any travel 11:13:28

6 guidelines that an NGB were to implement would 11:13:32

7 include how minors would be supervised during travel 11:13:38

8 to and from the competitions, right? 11:13:42

9 A. Yes. I mean, I think as a general 11:13:46

10 practice, providing that guidance is helpful. 11:13:48

11 THE WITNESS: Thank you. 11:13:50

12 MS. HOLM: You're welcome. 11:13:50

13 Q. (By Mr. Estey) And you would agree with 11:13:56

14 me that coaches should avoid using social media to 11:14:02

15 communicate with athletes? 11:14:12

16 A. As a -- as a general rule, particularly 11:14:16

17 with minor participants, yes. 11:14:20

18 Q. And you would agree that where -- where 11:14:25

19 possible, the coach and athlete should meet in a 11:14:30

20 publicly -- publicly visible and open area, correct? 11:14:37

21 A. Where possible, yes. 11:14:41

22 Q. Do you discuss the -- the use of 11:15:03

23 chaperones anywhere in -- in the training materials 11:15:04

24 that the USOC provides to its member participants? 11:15:07

25 A. I honestly don't remember. If it is, it's 11:15:14

Page 110
1 going to be somewhere in the SafeSport handbook 11:15:16

2 somewhere in one of the other materials. 11:15:22

3 Q. Do you think the use of chaperones is a -- 11:15:24

4 a mitigating procedure to prevent sexual misconduct? 11:15:26

5 A. It can be. 11:15:33

6 Q. Okay. 11:15:34

7 (Plaintiffs' Deposition Exhibit 6 was 11:15:34

8 identified.) 11:15:34

9 Q. (By Mr. Estey) I'm going to show you 11:15:36

10 marked Exhibit 6. And this is -- what is this? 11:15:38

11 A. It appears to be a presentation for USA 11:16:03

12 Gymnastics in 2013. 11:16:12

13 Q. Is this something you did? 11:16:15

14 A. Yes. 11:16:17

15 Q. All right. On the first page, it says, 11:16:18

16 Stats. Where did you get these stats at? 11:16:20

17 A. It would have been a combination of CDC 11:16:24

18 and, you know, potentially other resources, like 11:16:29

19 From Darkness to Light. 11:16:36

20 Q. CDC is Center for Disease Control? 11:16:39

21 A. Correct. 11:16:43

22 Q. Yeah. And one of four means one of four 11:16:44

23 girls will be sexually abused by the time they turn 11:16:49

24 18, right? 11:16:53

25 A. Correct. 11:16:53

Page 111
1 Q. One in six is boys -- 11:16:54

2 A. Correct. 11:16:57

3 Q. -- right? 11:16:57

4 A. Yep. 11:16:57

5 Q. More than 90 percent know their 11:16:58

6 perpetrator, right? 11:17:03

7 A. Correct. 11:17:07

8 Q. And that means more than 90 percent of the 11:17:07

9 victims know their perpetrator before the abuse 11:17:10

10 occurs, right? 11:17:14

11 A. Correct. 11:17:16

12 Q. And over 90 percent of adults will never 11:17:18

13 be reported. What does that mean? 11:17:22

14 A. Yeah. I mean, essentially, what that 11:17:24

15 means is that we know the disclosure rates of sexual 11:17:26

16 abuse are quite low, and they always have been quite 11:17:30

17 low. 11:17:35

18 And what we were really talking about here 11:17:35

19 was that criminal background checks, while 11:17:37

20 necessary, aren't necessarily sufficient because we 11:17:40

21 know most of them don't go through the criminal 11:17:44

22 system. 11:17:49

23 Q. That's why it's important to have policies 11:17:49

24 and procedures in place, on top of criminal 11:17:51

25 background checks, in order to prevent sexual abuse, 11:17:54

Page 112
1 correct? 11:17:57

2 A. Correct. 11:17:59

3 Q. All right. And you want to minimize 11:17:59

4 opportunities for sexual misconduct, right? 11:18:01

5 A. I do, yes. 11:18:05

6 Q. All right. And so does the USOC, correct? 11:18:06

7 A. Yes. 11:18:09

8 Q. All right. And one of the ways you do 11:18:09

9 that is to explicitly define what conduct is 11:18:12

10 prohibited, right? 11:18:17

11 A. That is one approach, yes. 11:18:17

12 Q. Okay. And you do that through SafeSport, 11:18:18

13 right? 11:18:21

14 A. Correct. 11:18:23

15 Q. Okay. 11:18:24

16 (Plaintiffs' Deposition Exhibit 7 was 11:18:24

17 identified.) 11:18:24

18 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. Let me show 11:18:24

19 you marked Exhibit... 11:18:36

20 This is a one-page article from October 11:18:39

21 21st, 2014. And tell me if you've ever seen this 11:18:58

22 article. 11:19:02

23 A. I think so. 11:19:10

24 Q. All right. And you would agree with me, 11:19:15

25 it looks like Mr. Blackmun was interviewed for this 11:19:17

Page 113
1 article, right? 11:19:22

2 A. What it looks like to me is potentially 11:19:26

3 this was a luncheon at which he spoke -- 11:19:28

4 Q. Yeah. 11:19:31

5 A. -- and these are perhaps quotes from that. 11:19:31

6 I can't -- 11:19:33

7 Q. I think you're right. 11:19:33

8 All right. And apparently he told the 11:19:34

9 National Press club that the USOC's most important 11:19:35

10 role now is to combat sexual abuse among athletes 11:19:39

11 and create a safe and healthy setting for sports. 11:19:44

12 A. Sorry. Where are you? 11:19:48

13 Q. That's in the first paragraph. 11:19:48

14 A. Oh, okay. 11:19:50

15 Q. All right. Look like he -- 11:19:51

16 A. That's what it says, yes. 11:19:51

17 Q. All right. And do you agree with that 11:19:52

18 statement, that the USOC's most important role is to 11:19:54

19 combat sexual abuse among athletes and create a safe 11:19:58

20 and healthy setting for sports? 11:20:03

21 MS. HOLM: Well, you know it actually says 11:20:06

22 that one of the USOC's most important roles now. 11:20:06

23 MR. ESTEY: Okay. Yeah, it does. 11:20:10

24 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Do you agree with that? 11:20:12

25 A. That it is one of the most -- one of the 11:20:14

Page 114
1 USOC's most important rules? 11:20:16

2 Q. Yeah. 11:20:18

3 A. Yes, I think it is one of the most 11:20:19

4 important rules -- 11:20:20

5 Q. Do you know when it became -- when it 11:20:21

6 became one of USOC's most important rules? 11:20:21

7 MS. HOLM: Object to the form of the 11:20:26

8 question. May call for speculation, lack of 11:20:27

9 foundation, but if you know. 11:20:30

10 A. I don't. 11:20:36

11 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Okay. 11:20:37

12 A. I mean, I don't know -- I don't know what 11:20:37

13 that -- what that point was for the USOC. 11:20:38

14 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. And then at 11:20:41

15 some point in the, let's see, one, two, three -- the 11:20:41

16 sixth paragraph down, he quotes, "And yes, it 11:20:44

17 happens in sports, if not more, than society at 11:20:47

18 large." It looks like he's referring to sexual 11:20:52

19 abuse. 11:20:57

20 Do you agree with that statement? 11:20:57

21 A. No. 11:21:00

22 Q. Why not? 11:21:02

23 A. I -- I don't think that statistically -- 11:21:03

24 statistically speaking, the majority of perpetrators 11:21:04

25 continue to be family members, and I think that 11:21:11

Page 115
1 that's where we continue to see the highest 11:21:15

2 percentage of this happening. 11:21:18

3 So, I don't -- I don't -- I don't agree 11:21:19

4 that that is correct. 11:21:22

5 Q. I agree with you. 11:21:23

6 And you -- well, don't worry about it. I 11:21:25

7 don't know why I have two of these. 11:21:30

8 All right. Now we're going to get into 11:21:40

9 some emails, looks like. 11:21:41

10 And some of these may be chronologically 11:21:48

11 out of order. 11:22:00

12 A. Oh -- oh, delightful. 11:22:01

13 Q. We'll do our best. I'm only one man over 11:22:02

14 here. 11:22:05

15 A. Thank you. 11:22:07

16 MS. HOLM: Well, I see three of you guys. 11:22:09

17 MR. ESTEY: Yeah. They're doing a lot, 11:22:11

18 huh? 11:22:11

19 MS. HOLM: I could be miscounting. 11:22:11

20 A. Wait a minute. He needs you. 11:22:15

21 (Plaintiffs' Deposition Exhibit 8 was 11:22:16

22 identified.) 11:22:16

23 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. It looks like 11:22:16

24 this is an email chain from March 12th and 13th, 11:22:22

25 2014. It looks like John Ruger said something -- or 11:22:25

Page 116
1 Ruger to you, and it's talking about how Gitelman 11:22:30

2 apparently coached after he was supposedly 11:22:37

3 suspended. Do you recall receiving these emails? 11:22:42

4 A. Not at the time. I mean, I -- obviously, 11:22:46

5 I don't dispute that I received it. 11:22:49

6 Q. You don't recall receiving it at the time? 11:22:51

7 A. I'm sure that at the time I do recall 11:22:53

8 receiving it because I received it, but sitting here 11:22:55

9 today, I don't necessarily remember. 11:22:57

10 Q. All right. It looks like Ruger says to 11:22:59

11 you, "If half of this is true, I am appalled. What 11:23:01

12 is Bruce doing or not doing?" 11:23:04

13 All right. When you say, half of what is 11:23:06

14 true? I mean -- 11:23:10

15 MS. HOLM: Well, that's calling -- 11:23:12

16 MR. OKAMURA: Objection. 11:23:12

17 MS. HOLM: -- for speculation. She's not 11:23:12

18 the author of that statement. 11:23:14

19 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Well, you received this, 11:23:17

20 right? So, like, when he -- when he -- when he -- 11:23:18

21 when he writes, "If half of this is true," did you 11:23:19

22 understand as to what he was talking about? 11:23:24

23 MS. HOLM: Well, it's a lack of 11:23:26

24 foundation. I don't think she has any recollection 11:23:27

25 about it. She's already told you she doesn't 11:23:27

Page 117
1 remember this. 11:23:29

2 But if you have a memory of what your 11:23:30

3 state of mind was as you read this, you can 11:23:32

4 certainly answer Mr. Estey's question. 11:23:37

5 A. Yeah. I mean, I -- I -- I believe 11:23:39

6 Mr. Ruger, though I obviously can't speak on behalf 11:23:41

7 of him, was essentially saying, you know, Listen, I 11:23:45

8 mean, even if, you know 50 percent of this is true 11:23:49

9 and 50 percent of it isn't, then that was 11:23:51

10 disconcerting and appalling to him. 11:23:54

11 Q. (By Mr. Estey) But you don't remember 11:23:57

12 reading this? 11:23:58

13 A. No. I -- listen, I don't dispute that I 11:23:59

14 read it when it came in. I just, you know -- 11:24:03

15 Q. Let me ask you -- 11:24:05

16 A. -- sitting here several years later, I -- 11:24:05

17 I don't question that I received it and that I read 11:24:08

18 it. 11:24:11

19 Q. Let me ask you this -- 11:24:11

20 A. Yeah. 11:24:13

21 Q. -- how -- how many instances were you made 11:24:13

22 aware of where a coach had been accused of sexually 11:24:14

23 abusing an athlete and then was supposedly suspended 11:24:17

24 but then continued to coach? How many instances of 11:24:22

25 that did you come across from 2011 to today? 11:24:25

Page 118
1 A. I don't recall. What you're asking me is 11:24:28

2 whether or not I remember receiving the email and 11:24:28

3 reading it, and not whether or not I remembered that 11:24:31

4 this occurred. So, two different questions. 11:24:33

5 Q. Okay. So, generically, you were aware of 11:24:35

6 the Gitelman situation? 11:24:39

7 A. Correct. 11:24:41

8 Q. Okay. And when you -- when Ruger says to 11:24:43

9 you, "If half of it is true, I'm appalled, what is 11:24:44

10 Bruce doing or not doing," did you -- did you 11:24:51

11 respond in any way to this -- this email? 11:24:54

12 A. I may have. I -- I'm sure I would have 11:24:57

13 followed up with John Ruger. 11:25:00

14 Q. All right. And when it says, "What is 11:25:02

15 Bruce doing or not doing," that's Bruce Harris, 11:25:03

16 right? 11:25:05

17 A. I believe so, yes. 11:25:08

18 Q. All right. And if you would have followed 11:25:09

19 up, what -- what -- what -- what would the follow-up 11:25:10

20 consist of? 11:25:12

21 A. It would have been a combination of 11:25:15

22 reaching out to Taekwondo, reaching out to 11:25:16

23 Taekwondo's counsel, trying to understand what was 11:25:17

24 going on, where they were process-wise. 11:25:22

25 Q. Did you ever find out? 11:25:25

Page 119
1 A. Yes. It was my understanding, after some 11:25:28

2 subsequent conversations, that -- that they had had 11:25:31

3 a hearing in January, which we understood occurred, 11:25:34

4 and that ultimately, for whatever reason, that 11:25:38

5 hearing was set aside and that they had rescheduled 11:25:41

6 it for early April. 11:25:41

7 Q. What -- what was your understanding as to 11:25:46

8 why the hearing was set aside? 11:25:48

9 A. My understanding was that they received 11:25:50

10 counsel that the failure to allow cross examination 11:25:53

11 wouldn't, quote unquote, "hold up." 11:25:53

12 Q. And did you agree with that analysis? 11:26:02

13 MS. HOLM: Well, calls for a legal 11:26:04

14 opinion. 11:26:04

15 MR. ESTEY: She's an attorney. Come on, 11:26:04

16 man. 11:26:04

17 MS. HOLM: Well, I know. I know. But 11:26:04

18 she's not practicing as a lawyer in her role. 11:26:05

19 You can answer if you have a thought 11:26:10

20 process in that regard. 11:26:11

21 A. I do not agree. 11:26:14

22 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Okay. And tell me why. 11:26:16

23 A. From my perspective, it is always 11:26:20

24 appropriate to make sure that questions are being 11:26:22

25 asked, right? So, whether it's coming from the 11:26:27

Page 120
1 hearing panel, whether it's coming from the 11:26:28

2 arbitrators, whoever it is, I think it is entirely 11:26:28

3 appropriate to make sure that the correct questions 11:26:28

4 are being asked to get the level of confidence that 11:26:35

5 they need to how to make a decision. 11:26:35

6 I do not agree that those questions need 11:26:41

7 to come via cross examination from an individual's 11:26:43

8 attorney. 11:26:47

9 Q. Okay. And when you heard that they had 11:26:48

10 set aside the recommendation of the hearing panel in 11:26:49

11 Gitelman's case, did you do anything to reinstate 11:26:54

12 that hearing panel's original decision to suspend 11:26:59

13 Gitelman? 11:27:06

14 A. I have no authority to do that. And, as I 11:27:08

15 understood it, he was still suspended. 11:27:11

16 Q. But still coaching. 11:27:15

17 A. I -- I don't know whether he -- I mean, 11:27:16

18 the -- the coaching piece is, I think, more likely 11:27:17

19 controlled by the local club because, again, there's 11:27:19

20 a difference between employment and membership. 11:27:24

21 Q. Did you -- the fact you disagreed with the 11:27:25

22 fact that the hearing panel's decision was -- was 11:27:29

23 set aside, did you convey that to anyone? 11:27:32

24 A. I'm sure that I did. I mean, listen, this 11:27:38

25 is -- the -- the issue of cross examination has long 11:27:40

Page 121
1 been a subject of debate, not just within the USOC, 11:27:41

2 but any number of other settings, including Title 9 11:27:46

3 and due process. So, there's just a lot of 11:27:52

4 disagreement on this point. 11:27:55

5 Q. Sure. 11:27:57

6 (Plaintiffs' Deposition Exhibit 9 was 11:27:58

7 identified.) 11:27:58

8 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. I'm going to 11:27:58

9 show you the next email marked Exhibit 9. It is -- 11:27:59

10 it looks like it's from Mr. Johansen, a few other 11:28:04

11 people on there, from March 13th, 2014. 11:28:14

12 A. Can I have a labeled one? 11:28:21

13 Q. Sorry. 11:28:23

14 A. No worries. 11:28:23

15 Q. And this is, I guess, your response from 11:28:23

16 March 13th, 2014, at 12:53, to Ruger, when he says, 11:28:33

17 "If" -- "if half of this is a true -- I can't 11:28:39

18 speak -- "I'm appalled. What is Bruce doing or not 11:28:40

19 doing?" 11:28:45

20 And you respond, "This goes back to the 11:28:45

21 ability to impose temporary suspensions pending 11:28:49

22 final resolution." 11:28:53

23 Do you recall writing that email? 11:28:54

24 A. No, but I don't question that I did. 11:28:56

25 Q. What does that mean, "when it goes back to 11:29:00

Page 122
1 the ability to impose temporary suspensions"? 11:29:03

2 A. I think there's been a fair amount of 11:29:08

3 confusion and/or disagreement about whether or not 11:29:11

4 temporary suspensions or interim measures can be 11:29:12

5 imposed prior to a full merit -- a -- a full hearing 11:29:17

6 on the merits, you know, without also offering a 11:29:17

7 hearing on that temporary suspension. 11:29:23

8 So, I think that that's -- I was sort of 11:29:23

9 indicating that I felt that that was part of what 11:29:27

10 may be going on here. 11:29:30

11 Q. All right. And then it looks like either 11:29:31

12 Ruger or -- I guess Ruger or someone responded -- 11:29:33

13 yeah, Ruger responded -- or, actually, Johansen 11:29:37

14 responded on March 13, 2014, at 11:03. It says, "My 11:29:42

15 understanding is that USAT issued a temporary 11:29:44

16 suspension but never enforced it." 11:29:51

17 Was that your understanding also? 11:29:54

18 A. It was not. I -- I wasn't aware of that. 11:29:56

19 Q. All right. 11:29:59

20 A. Or at least I don't remember being aware 11:29:59

21 of it. 11:30:01

22 Q. All right. And it says -- he says, "Also, 11:30:03

23 there is no reason why an allegation of this sort 11:30:03

24 should take six months to prosecute without some 11:30:06

25 sort of temporary suspension being issued and 11:30:10

Page 123
1 enforced." 11:30:10

2 Do you recall having any sort of 11:30:13

3 discussions with Mr. Johansen in that regard? 11:30:14

4 MS. HOLM: Well, I know -- those 11:30:18

5 discussions with Mr. Johansen -- 11:30:18

6 MR. ESTEY: Come on, Peggy. Pick up the 11:30:22

7 pace. 11:30:22

8 MS. HOLM: Well, I know. 11:30:22

9 MR. ESTEY: I'll withdraw -- 11:30:22

10 MS. HOLM: I've got people from both 11:30:22

11 sides. 11:30:22

12 MR. ESTEY: I'll withdraw the question. 11:30:22

13 MS. HOLM: Thank you. 11:30:23

14 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. To -- 11:30:27

15 independent from talking to any attorneys, did you 11:30:27

16 ever have a concern that it was taking six months to 11:30:33

17 prosecute Gitelman, and that there was not some sort 11:30:36

18 of temporary suspension being enforced? 11:30:41

19 MS. HOLM: Did you have a subjective 11:30:48

20 mindset or a thought about that? 11:30:49

21 A. Six months is a timetable I have, you 11:30:56

22 know, seen in any number of other organizations. I 11:30:58

23 think -- I think we can and should be more 11:31:01

24 expeditious. You know, and to the extent that we're 11:31:05

25 learning that -- through Ronda, which, whether or 11:31:09

Page 124
1 not that was true or not, but, you know, yes, I 11:31:12

2 would like to see temporary suspensions in place 11:31:15

3 pending a full hearing on the merits. 11:31:21

4 Q. (By Mr. Estey) And you want the hearing 11:31:23

5 to -- to take less than six months, right? 11:31:25

6 A. Yes. Where possible. 11:31:33

7 (Plaintiffs' Deposition Exhibit 10 was 11:31:33

8 identified.) 11:31:33

9 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Okay. Let me go to 11:31:34

10 Exhibit 10. 11:31:35

11 A. Are you going to have enough stickers? Do 11:31:38

12 we need to like go out and get a couple more? 11:31:41

13 Q. Yeah. And this is a couple of emails. It 11:31:58

14 looks like Ronda started it. 11:32:00

15 Do you know who Sue -- Susanne Lyons is? 11:32:05

16 Do you know? 11:32:06

17 A. Yes. 11:32:06

18 Q. Who is she? 11:32:06

19 A. She is a USOC Board member. 11:32:06

20 Q. And this is an email from -- it looks 11:32:26

21 like, initially, from Ronda to Ms. Lyons complaining 11:32:29

22 about it's taken seven months get the hearing to 11:32:34

23 take place in Gitelman's case, right? 11:32:41

24 A. The rescheduled hearing, yes. 11:32:45

25 Q. And then, at some point, someone doesn't 11:32:55

Page 125
1 want to become Ronda's pen pal. It looks like 11:32:58

2 Susanne doesn't want to become Ronda's pen pal, and 11:33:01

3 asks for Gary to -- suggests a short reply, right? 11:33:03

4 A. Yes. That's what the email appears to 11:33:13

5 state. 11:33:14

6 Q. And it looks like Gary then wrote to you, 11:33:15

7 "I'll respond to Susanne. I am sending this to you 11:33:17

8 because of the continuing SafeSport allegations." 11:33:22

9 You were head of SafeSport at this time, 11:33:26

10 right? 11:33:26

11 A. Yes. 11:33:27

12 Q. And so you're just kind of being kept 11:33:29

13 abreast of what's going on with the -- the Gitelman 11:33:31

14 issue? 11:33:32

15 A. Yes. I believe so. I think that's what 11:33:34

16 he was doing. 11:33:37

17 Q. Did you take any action after receiving 11:33:37

18 this email? 11:33:39

19 A. We would have had -- we would have had 11:33:39

20 additional conversations with Taekwondo. 11:33:41

21 It was, I believe, it -- it would have 11:33:48

22 been during April at some point that it would have 11:33:51

23 been communicated to me or to somebody else at the 11:33:56

24 U.S. Olympic Committee that -- I believe that the 11:33:57

25 witnesses had been in- -- instructed to no longer 11:34:03

Page 126
1 cooperate with Taekwondo's process. 11:34:09

2 Q. I'm sorry. The witnesses -- 11:34:12

3 MS. HOLM: Do you want her to read it 11:34:18

4 back? 11:34:18

5 MR. ESTEY: Yes, please. 11:34:18

6 MS. HOLM: Could we have the answer read 11:34:23

7 back? Thank you. 11:34:23

8 THE WITNESS: You weren't listening to me? 11:34:23

9 MR. ESTEY: No. You're like a dog whistle 11:34:24

10 now. 11:34:24

11 MR. LITTLE: Sorry. 11:34:24

12 THE WITNESS: Are you okay? 11:34:24

13 MR. LITTLE: Yeah. 11:34:24

14 MR. ESTEY: Just the last part. 11:34:24

15 (Last question read back). 11:34:56

16 MS. HOLM: USAT. 11:34:56

17 MR. OKAMURA: I heard USAT. 11:34:56

18 MS. HOLM: Yes. I heard USAT. 11:34:56

19 MR. LITTLE: I heard USAT process. 11:34:56

20 MS. HOLM: Right. 11:34:56

21 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. And so the 11:34:56

22 witness is referring to, he's talking about Yazmin 11:34:56

23 Brown and -- and the other athletes that accused 11:34:57

24 Gitelman? 11:34:57

25 A. Generically. I don't know that it was 11:35:03

Page 127
1 specific to all -- 11:35:05

2 Q. Okay. 11:35:07

3 A. -- all of them, but the general 11:35:07

4 understanding we received is that there was a lack 11:35:09

5 of cooperation at that time. 11:35:13

6 Q. For the second hearing, right? 11:35:15

7 A. For the April hearing, yes. 11:35:19

8 (Plaintiffs' Deposition Exhibit 11 was 11:35:20

9 identified.) 11:35:20

10 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. Let me show 11:35:22

11 you marked Exhibit 11. 11:35:24

12 It looks like this is a continued email 11:35:47

13 chain. It looks like, at some point, Lyons says -- 11:35:55

14 in response to Ronda Sweet about canceling the 11:35:58

15 hearing, it says, "Very disappointing. I have asked 11:36:04

16 that USOC look into this." 11:36:07

17 Did Susanne Lyons ever talk to you about 11:36:09

18 what was going on with the Gitelman hearing? 11:36:12

19 A. No. I have never spoken with Susanne 11:36:14

20 Lyons about Taekwondo. 11:36:16

21 Q. All right. Do you know who -- who she was 11:36:18

22 talking to at USOC? 11:36:19

23 A. I don't know if she was ever talking to 11:36:21

24 somebody at USOC. It may well have just been the 11:36:23

25 email -- 11:36:27

Page 128
1 Q. All right. 11:36:28

2 A. -- communications. 11:36:28

3 Q. All right. And so we'll mark Exhibit 12, 11:36:29

4 I think. 11:36:36

5 (Plaintiffs' Deposition Exhibit 12 was 11:36:36

6 identified.) 11:36:36

7 Q. (By Mr. Estey) And 12 is the continuing 11:36:36

8 email chains. 11:36:51

9 And do you recall receiving these emails? 11:36:51

10 A. Hold on a second. This one's pretty long. 11:37:07

11 Q. Yeah. 11:37:11

12 Looks like you are pretty active in this 11:37:11

13 one too. 11:37:15

14 A. I do, yes. 11:37:21

15 Q. All right. And so, at some point, you 11:37:22

16 write -- it looks like on April 29th, 2014, you 11:37:26

17 write to Rick Adams and you say, "Rick, Rachel: 11:37:29

18 FYI. If okay with the group, I'd like to work with 11:37:33

19 John," slash, "Gary to set up a call with Bruce 11:37:38

20 and/or Hess ASAP." What do you -- what do you mean 11:37:41

21 there? 11:37:46

22 A. That I'd like to set up a phone call with 11:37:47

23 them as quickly as possible. 11:37:49

24 Q. And John and Gary are who? 11:37:50

25 A. John Ruger, Gary Johansen. 11:37:52

Page 129
1 Q. Okay. 11:37:58

2 COURT REPORTER: John Ruger, Gary what? 11:37:59

3 THE WITNESS: I'm sorry. John Ruger and 11:37:59

4 Gary Johansen. 11:37:59

5 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. And then Adams 11:37:59

6 says, "Please do." 11:37:59

7 Rachel says, "Good here." 11:38:01

8 And then you write, "Thoughts" -- and this 11:38:04

9 is in reference to the Gitelman reinstatement 11:38:07

10 request. "Thoughts? Do you guys know more than I 11:38:10

11 do? Start with Hess?" What do you mean by that? 11:38:14

12 A. You know, during this time there are, you 11:38:18

13 know, obviously multiple individuals who have been 11:38:22

14 having conversations and been trying to understand 11:38:26

15 what's going on and trying to understand what next 11:38:28

16 steps are. 11:38:31

17 So, what I was asking was whether or not 11:38:32

18 they had a better understanding of why the hearing 11:38:34

19 had been canceled and what happened. 11:38:36

20 So, I was just trying to figure out if 11:38:39

21 they had more information than I do because I was 11:38:41

22 quite confused by what was going on, I think. 11:38:44

23 Q. Did they? Do you know? 11:38:46

24 A. I don't know. I don't remember. 11:38:47

25 Q. And, then, on the -- if you look at the 11:38:49

Page 130
1 first page from Ruger to you and Johansen, it says, 11:38:51

2 "I do not know much about the details other than 11:38:55

3 they have completely screwed up the hearing 11:38:59

4 process," "they" being USA Taekwondo, right? 11:39:01

5 A. I didn't author this, but I would assume 11:39:05

6 that John is referring to Taekwondo, yes. 11:39:08

7 Q. That -- that was your understanding when 11:39:09

8 you read it, right? 11:39:10

9 A. Yes. 11:39:11

10 Q. Okay. Do you agree with that statement 11:39:11

11 that USA Taekwondo completely screwed up the hearing 11:39:13

12 process involving Gitelman and my client, Yazmin 11:39:18

13 Brown? 11:39:21

14 MS. HOLM: Well, calls for an opinion that 11:39:24

15 may be legal in nature. 11:39:24

16 But your state of mind at the time. Did 11:39:27

17 you have a thought? 11:39:29

18 A. It was unclear to me whether or not they 11:39:31

19 had actually, quote unquote, "screwed up the hearing 11:39:33

20 process." I think they probably, you know, in the 11:39:37

21 first one would have did it maybe a little 11:39:39

22 differently than I did, but there wasn't a 11:39:43

23 subsequent hearing after that, right? 11:39:46

24 So, I mean, screwing up the hearing 11:39:47

25 process suggests that the process had, in fact, 11:39:50

Page 131
1 taken place on the time- -- timetable they had 11:39:53

2 communicated that it was going to take place on. 11:39:55

3 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Did you ever write back to 11:39:58

4 Ruger and say, No, I think the USAT actually did a 11:39:58

5 good job with the process? 11:40:04

6 MS. HOLM: Argumentative as phrased, but 11:40:05

7 you can answer that question. 11:40:06

8 A. Not that I recall, no. 11:40:07

9 Q. Okay. All right. 11:40:12

10 MR. ESTEY: What number are we on? 13? 11:40:22

11 THE WITNESS: 13. 11:40:24

12 COURT REPORTER: Yeah. 11:40:42

13 (Plaintiffs' Deposition Exhibit 13 was 11:40:44

14 identified.) 11:40:44

15 Q. (By Mr. Estey) And this is -- looks like 11:40:52

16 a continuing chain of emails. 11:40:54

17 And it looks like -- to be honest with 11:41:01

18 you, it looks like it's just logistics, setting up 11:41:03

19 the meeting, so I don't really -- do you see 11:41:07

20 anything on there that's important? 11:41:09

21 MS. HOLM: Probably shouldn't have even 11:41:12

22 been sent to you at all. 11:41:12

23 MR. ESTEY: Yeah, I think so. 11:41:15

24 MS. HOLM: It's internal legal 11:41:15

25 communications, but it's okay. 11:41:16

Page 132
1 MR. ESTEY: I -- I don't want to talk 11:41:18

2 about that anyway, so how's that? 11:41:19

3 Q. (By Mr. Estey) I think we've seen 11:41:26

4 these -- most of these. These are all kind of 11:41:27

5 convoluted. 11:41:37

6 Okay. We can talk about this one. 11:41:39

7 (Plaintiffs' Deposition Exhibit 14 was 11:41:41

8 introduced.) 11:41:41

9 Q. (By Mr. Estey) This is an email from 11:41:50

10 looks like Lady Taekwondo, which is -- that's Ronda 11:41:54

11 Sweet, right? Lady TKD? 11:41:56

12 A. As best I understand it, yes. 11:42:01

13 Q. Okay. And do you recall receiving this 11:42:03

14 email? 11:42:10

15 A. I mean, I don't recall it, but I'm sure it 11:42:35

16 came in, yes. So, yes, I'm sure I recall -- 11:42:38

17 Q. In general, do you recall Ms. Sweet 11:42:40

18 complaining about what was going on in the Gitelman 11:42:44

19 hearing? 11:42:48

20 A. Yes. 11:42:52

21 Q. And what response did you have, if any, to 11:42:57

22 this March 10th, 2014, email? 11:43:00

23 A. This is about the same time, give or take, 11:43:03

24 that we would have worked to learn that the hearing 11:43:10

25 had been rescheduled for early April. 11:43:13

Page 133
1 Q. Did you reach out to Ms. Sweet to respond 11:43:17

2 to this -- this email? 11:43:20

3 A. I don't recall one way or another. 11:43:22

4 Q. And do you recall if you took any action 11:43:24

5 after reading this email? 11:43:26

6 A. Again, this was a time that, internally, 11:43:28

7 we were attempting to figure out what was going on 11:43:31

8 and where they were in the process. 11:43:35

9 Q. All right. 11:43:37

10 (Plaintiffs' Deposition Exhibit 15 was 11:43:37

11 identified.) 11:43:37

12 Q. (By Mr. Estey) And Exhibit 15 is an email 11:43:38

13 from, again, Ronda Sweet to you and Mr. Johansen 11:43:55

14 and -- where she attaches the police report and 11:44:00

15 other documents. Do you recall receiving that email 11:44:06

16 from Ms. Sweet? Did she give you a kind of dot to 11:44:11

17 dot what happened? 11:44:18

18 A. Yes. 11:44:21

19 Q. All right. Did you read this when it -- 11:44:23

20 when it came in? 11:44:26

21 A. Yes. 11:44:28

22 Q. Did you have a response? 11:44:29

23 A. I don't recall whether or not I responded 11:44:33

24 to her specifically. 11:44:34

25 Q. Did you discuss with anyone other than an 11:44:35

Page 134
1 attorney this -- this email? 11:44:37

2 A. I don't recall whether or not it was 11:44:41

3 somebody other than an attorney. I do recall, 11:44:42

4 again, having conversations around this time to 11:44:45

5 figure out where they were in process. 11:44:49

6 Q. And were you troubled by the fact that as 11:44:53

7 of February, Gitelman was still coaching at the U.S. 11:44:56

8 Open? 11:45:02

9 A. I think I was confused as much as 11:45:05

10 anything. 11:45:06

11 To the extent that it was accurate, again, 11:45:08

12 we would, of course, like to see temporary 11:45:10

13 suspensions implemented and enforced. 11:45:14

14 Q. Do you talk to Harris about temporary 11:45:17

15 suspensions being implemented and enforced with 11:45:20

16 Gitelman? 11:45:23

17 A. I don't recall whether we had that 11:45:24

18 conversation. We -- we had other conversations 11:45:26

19 about it. 11:45:27

20 Q. What do you mean by that? 11:45:28

21 A. Bruce Harris and I had conversations about 11:45:29

22 the Gitelman case. 11:45:35

23 Q. And did you talk about the temporary 11:45:36

24 suspension that should be enforced? 11:45:38

25 A. I'm sure we did. I don't remember what 11:45:41

Page 135
1 the content of it was. 11:45:43

2 Q. What did he say, what did you say, 11:45:45

3 generally? 11:45:47

4 A. Listen, I honestly don't recall whether I 11:45:50

5 had that conversation or whether somebody else had 11:45:53

6 that conversation. I just -- I don't remember. 11:45:57

7 Q. All right. At the time this Gitelman 11:46:00

8 hearing issue was -- was taking place, USA Taekwondo 11:46:12

9 was on suspension or on probation with USOC, right? 11:46:16

10 MS. HOLM: Which hearing? 11:46:23

11 MR. ESTEY: The Gitelman hearing. 11:46:27

12 MS. HOLM: In January? 11:46:27

13 MR. ESTEY: Well, in September, they 11:46:27

14 wouldn't be around. 11:46:28

15 MS. HOLM: Well, the hearing was in 11:46:28

16 January. 11:46:30

17 MR. ESTEY: Yes. 11:46:31

18 MS. HOLM: Okay. I -- I think it's 11:46:31

19 incorrect foundation. 11:46:35

20 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Okay. Let me ask you 11:46:37

21 this: 11:46:38

22 A. Yeah. 11:46:38

23 Q. You -- you understand that USAT was on -- 11:46:38

24 was -- was suspended or -- or put on probation for a 11:46:43

25 time, right? 11:46:49

Page 136
1 A. Yeah. I mean, I think at -- at some 11:46:54

2 point, I learned it. I'm not sure I was aware of it 11:46:56

3 contemporaneously. 11:46:58

4 Q. Okay. Do you know what timeframe that 11:47:01

5 was? 11:47:03

6 A. I don't. 11:47:04

7 (Plaintiffs' Deposition Exhibit 16 was 11:47:04

8 identified.) 11:47:04

9 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. And this is 11:47:04

10 a -- a letter from -- an email from looks like 11:47:20

11 Susanne Lyons, and it looks like Mr. Blackmun was 11:47:24

12 cc'd on this. Can you take a look at this? 11:47:29

13 A. Yes. 11:47:41

14 Q. Do you recall receiving this -- 11:47:45

15 Exhibit 16? 11:47:47

16 A. No, primarily because my email address 11:47:49

17 isn't correct, so I'm confident it bounced back. 11:47:52

18 Q. Oh. 11:47:56

19 A. Whether or not it was re-sent, I don't 11:48:02

20 know. 11:48:03

21 Q. Do you recall if -- if Susanne Lyons ever 11:48:03

22 asked USOC to assist USAT with the Gitelman hearing 11:48:06

23 process? 11:48:11

24 MS. HOLM: He's asking -- 11:48:17

25 A. I think -- 11:48:17

Page 137
1 MS. HOLM: -- for your recollection. 11:48:17

2 A. Oh, yeah. I mean, I recall, from the 11:48:19

3 general course of comments, that Susanne was 11:48:27

4 obviously trying to pass the information along and 11:48:30

5 see what, if anything, the USOC could do by the way 11:48:35

6 of resources for Taekwondo. 11:48:40

7 Q. (By Mr. Estey) And do you recall if you 11:48:44

8 ever gave a response in that regard? 11:48:45

9 A. Whether I gave a response to her or 11:48:48

10 whether I did what she was asking? 11:48:49

11 Q. Both. 11:48:53

12 A. I don't recall whether or not I gave a 11:48:54

13 response. I did pick up the phone and talk to 11:48:55

14 Mr. Harris. 11:49:00

15 Q. And what did -- what did you talk to 11:49:01

16 Mr. Harris about? 11:49:03

17 A. Depends on the timeframe. I had -- would 11:49:07

18 have had a conversation with him late -- late 11:49:12

19 earl- -- late April, early May, in response to the 11:49:19

20 letter Ronda Sweet forwarded from Gitelman. 11:49:28

21 Q. I'm sorry. Can you say that again? 11:49:35

22 A. I would have had a conversation with 11:49:43

23 Mr. Harris either in late April or probably early 11:49:44

24 May after Ronda Sweet had forwarded Gitelman's 11:49:52

25 letter to -- to Bruce in Taekwondo. 11:49:56

Page 138
1 Q. And what -- what did he say, what did you 11:50:02

2 say in that -- that conversation? 11:50:07

3 A. Don't recall all of -- all of the 11:50:09

4 specifics, but, you know, what we had learned in 11:50:11

5 April. 11:50:13

6 So, the hearing had been reset for April. 11:50:13

7 I believe sometime near the end of April, we learned 11:50:16

8 that that hearing that we had told was going to 11:50:19

9 happen did not happen. Received the letter from 11:50:22

10 Gitelman. 11:50:25

11 But what we were told, again, I -- was, 11:50:26

12 you know, these young women have been instructed not 11:50:28

13 to cooperate with the process, so we don't know what 11:50:34

14 to do. We don't know how to move forward. 11:50:38

15 I indicated to him at that time that I 11:50:42

16 thought he had sufficient documentary evidence from 11:50:44

17 Gitelman, based on the letter and/or the previous 11:50:45

18 documentary evidence, to move forward without them. 11:50:50

19 Q. Without the -- the Complainants, Yazmin 11:50:54

20 Brown and Kendra and -- 11:50:55

21 A. Without them as witnesses, correct. 11:50:59

22 Q. And what -- what was his response? 11:51:01

23 A. I -- I suspect that he was -- would have 11:51:04

24 then consulted with counsel, but I don't -- I don't 11:51:06

25 really remember. 11:51:06

Page 139
1 MS. HOLM: Don't speculate, please. 11:51:09

2 THE WITNESS: Okay. Sorry. 11:51:11

3 A. I don't know. 11:51:11

4 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. Now, you would 11:51:12

5 agree with me that -- that any coach who commits a 11:51:28

6 lewd act upon a child, that would have been a 11:51:39

7 violation of SafeSport policies, right? 11:51:42

8 MS. HOLM: It's calling for an expert 11:51:50

9 opinion, but go ahead. 11:51:51

10 A. Yeah. Under the minimum standards, the 11:51:54

11 NGBs were required to implement -- were required to 11:51:55

12 prohibit and define six forms of misconduct, 11:52:03

13 including sexual misconduct. 11:52:07

14 So, you know, to the extent that they -- 11:52:09

15 by the way, I mean, we'd be in violation of criminal 11:52:11

16 law if we're talking about lewd acts being, you 11:52:15

17 know, tantamount to criminal law, but it wouldn't 11:52:19

18 have been a violation of -- I'm -- I'm actually not 11:52:19

19 sure what you're asking. Whose policy are we 11:52:24

20 talking about? 11:52:26

21 Q. USOC's. 11:52:27

22 A. It would have been a violation of USOC's 11:52:29

23 policy? 11:52:30

24 Q. Yeah. 11:52:32

25 A. Yes. 11:52:32

Page 140
1 What timeframe are we talking about? I 11:52:33

2 mean, yes, because, again, it was -- would have been 11:52:35

3 criminal, so -- 11:52:35

4 Q. Yeah. 11:52:35

5 A. -- yes. 11:52:35

6 Q. At any time, even -- even before you were 11:52:38

7 Director of SafeSport, right? 11:52:39

8 A. Yes. 11:52:42

9 Q. All right. And oral copulation with a 11:52:42

10 person under the age of 18, that would have been a 11:52:44

11 violation of both SafeSport and any policies that 11:52:47

12 USOC had in place prior to initiating SafeSport, 11:52:51

13 right? 11:52:53

14 MS. HOLM: Well, object to the form of the 11:52:54

15 question. It's compound as phrased, and it calls 11:52:55

16 for speculation, a lack of foundation has been laid 11:52:58

17 with regard to the second part of your question. 11:53:00

18 MR. LITTLE: Enjoin. 11:53:04

19 MS. HOLM: So, if you want to split it in 11:53:05

20 half? 11:53:06

21 MR. ESTEY: I'm just trying to move it 11:53:06

22 along. 11:53:07

23 MS. HOLM: Oh, I know. Let's -- 11:53:08

24 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. So, oral 11:53:10

25 copulation with a minor, all right, that would be a 11:53:11

Page 141
1 violation of SafeSport policy, correct? 11:53:15

2 A. Of the -- of the current USOC SafeSport -- 11:53:18

3 Q. Yes. 11:53:20

4 A. -- policy? Yes. 11:53:20

5 Q. And in 20 -- the years 20 -- no, 2007, 11:53:22

6 2011, that also would have been a violation of some 11:53:27

7 USOC policy, right? 11:53:32

8 MS. HOLM: Well, there's a lack of 11:53:34

9 foundation, and calls for pure speculation, and -- 11:53:36

10 and, also, I guess it's a hypothetical that's 11:53:39

11 without any facts and basis for her to even give you 11:53:43

12 an opinion in that regard. 11:53:45

13 So, I'll instruct her not to answer that 11:53:45

14 one. 11:53:51

15 MR. ESTEY: All right. 11:53:51

16 MR. LITTLE: Enjoin the objections. 11:53:53

17 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Do you -- do you have an 11:53:53

18 understanding of what -- what Gitelman was convicted 11:53:53

19 of? 11:53:57

20 MS. HOLM: Well, separate and apart from 11:53:58

21 anything you've learned from legal counsel. 11:53:59

22 MR. ESTEY: Well, it's public record. 11:54:04

23 That's not a -- 11:54:06

24 MS. HOLM: Well, I didn't say that she 11:54:06

25 doesn't know something from public record. I'm just 11:54:08

Page 142
1 saying separate and apart. 11:54:09

2 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Let me ask you this: You 11:54:10

3 know that -- are you aware that Gitelman was con- -- 11:54:11

4 convicted for lewd act upon a child, oral copulation 11:54:13

5 with a person under age 18, and unlawful sexual 11:54:16

6 intercourse with a minor? 11:54:20

7 A. I mean, I don't know that I would have 11:54:23

8 remembered -- I don't know if I could have repeated 11:54:24

9 that back to you, but certainly, at some point, I 11:54:27

10 would have understood that, yes. 11:54:30

11 Q. All right. And these are all acts that 11:54:31

12 SafeSport seeks to prevent, right? 11:54:33

13 A. Yes. 11:54:41

14 Q. All right. And what -- if you know, what 11:54:41

15 policies and procedures did USAT have in place, 11:54:44

16 during the years 2007 to 2013, to prevent these 11:54:48

17 acts, the lewd act upon a child, oral copulation 11:54:56

18 with a person under the age of 18, unlawful sexual 11:54:58

19 intercourse with a minor, what policies and 11:55:02

20 procedures did USAT have in place to prevent this, 11:55:05

21 if you know? 11:55:08

22 A. I don't know. I don't know. 11:55:08

23 (Plaintiffs' Deposition Exhibit 18 was 11:55:09

24 introduced.) 11:55:09

25 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. I'm going to 11:55:09

Page 143
1 be show you what we'll mark as Exhibit 18, and then 11:55:26

2 just confirm for this is the actual, if you know, 11:55:29

3 USA Taekwondo SafeSport Strategy, Policies and 11:55:35

4 Procedures. Have you seen that before? 11:55:41

5 A. I've certainly seen a version of this. Do 11:55:43

6 we have a date for it? 11:55:46

7 Q. I'm not sure. 11:55:47

8 MS. HOLM: What was Exhibit 17? 11:55:54

9 MR. ESTEY: I skipped 17 because it 11:55:56

10 related to Mr. Johansen only, so... 11:55:57

11 THE WITNESS: Okay. Well, that's why I 11:56:01

12 was just having -- 11:56:01

13 MR. ESTEY: At least you're paying 11:56:03

14 attention. 11:56:03

15 MS. HOLM: I am listening to you. 11:56:04

16 MR. ESTEY: All right. 11:56:05

17 MS. HOLM: Great attention. 11:56:05

18 MR. ESTEY: So, there is no 17. This goes 11:56:06

19 right to 18. 11:56:08

20 A. Sorry. Where are we on what the question 11:56:12

21 is? 11:56:15

22 MS. HOLM: It's Exhibit 18. He -- I was 11:56:15

23 asking him. 11:56:17

24 A. Okay. So, it's Exhibit 18. 11:56:18

25 I am confident that at one point in time, 11:56:21

Page 144
1 I received a copy of their SafeSport materials. 11:56:25

2 Whether or not it was this one or a subsequent 11:56:29

3 version, I don't know. 11:56:31

4 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Did you have any role in 11:56:34

5 authoring Exhibit 18? 11:56:36

6 A. No. 11:56:38

7 Q. Did you review Exhibit 18 any time prior 11:56:38

8 to today's date? 11:56:41

9 A. Review it, meaning like did I ever look at 11:56:44

10 it? 11:56:47

11 Q. Yeah. 11:56:47

12 A. "Review" can mean a lot of things, right, 11:56:48

13 like -- 11:56:49

14 Q. You're an attorney. I'm -- I'm very 11:56:50

15 simple. 11:56:51

16 Did you -- did you look at it? Did you 11:56:52

17 read it? 11:56:53

18 A. At some point, I would have. 11:57:03

19 Q. All right. And what point would that have 11:57:05

20 been? 11:57:07

21 A. The last time I recall looking at it is 11:57:11

22 when I believe Taekwondo may have been updating 11:57:13

23 things in the last couple of years. I don't 11:57:18

24 remember exactly when I was taking a look at it. 11:57:21

25 Q. Did someone ask you to read it? 11:57:24

Page 145
1 A. No, I don't recall anybody specifically 11:57:30

2 asking me to read it. 11:57:33

3 Q. Did you approve it? 11:57:34

4 A. No. 11:57:35

5 Q. Do you -- do you have to approve an NGBs 11:57:37

6 SafeSport Strategy, Policies and Procedures? 11:57:37

7 A. No. 11:57:45

8 Q. All right. Who approves the SafeSport 11:57:47

9 Strategy, Policies and Procedures to determine -- 11:57:48

10 strike that. 11:57:52

11 Who -- who determine -- who at USOC 11:57:53

12 determines whether or not a National Governing 11:57:56

13 Body's SafeSport Strategy, Policies and Procedures 11:57:57

14 are in compliance with the USOC SafeSport 11:57:59

15 initiative? 11:58:05

16 MS. HOLM: Well, I have to object to the 11:58:06

17 form of the question. It's overbroad as phrased and 11:58:06

18 assumes that there was somebody who makes such 11:58:09

19 approval. 11:58:12

20 MR. LITTLE: Enjoin. 11:58:12

21 A. Okay. So, it's not compliance with the 11:58:14

22 SafeSport initiative. It would be compliance with 11:58:16

23 the minimum standards -- 11:58:20

24 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Okay. 11:58:20

25 A. -- right? 11:58:20

Page 146
1 So, the audit department is the department 11:58:22

2 that would look at whether or not an NGB had -- is 11:58:28

3 complying with the minimum standards. It would be 11:58:36

4 the audit department. 11:58:38

5 Q. Who's in -- who's in charge of the audit 11:58:39

6 department? 11:58:41

7 A. Bridgette Toelle. 11:58:42

8 Q. Is she here local? 11:58:45

9 A. Yes. 11:58:47

10 MR. LITTLE: Can you spell that last name. 11:58:50

11 THE WITNESS: T-O-E-L-L-E. 11:58:52

12 Q. (By Mr. Estey) And did you ever review 11:58:54

13 any sort of policies and procedures that USA 11:58:55

14 Taekwondo had in effect prior to this SafeSport 11:58:58

15 strategy? 11:59:02

16 A. I don't recall. It's unlikely. 11:59:11

17 Q. All right. 11:59:14

18 A. I don't -- I don't know when this was 11:59:14

19 implemented, so it's a little bit hard for me to say 11:59:16

20 did I read anything subsequently. 11:59:19

21 Q. All right. And do you know -- we talked 11:59:22

22 earlier that -- that USAT was on probation from 11:59:27

23 USOC, right? 11:59:32

24 A. You asked me a question about it. You 11:59:34

25 stated that, yeah. 11:59:37

Page 147
1 Q. Well, you were -- you were aware of it. 11:59:37

2 You answered that you were aware of it, right? 11:59:39

3 A. I was aware of it, yeah. Not at the time. 11:59:41

4 I think I subsequently learned about it. 11:59:43

5 Q. What -- do -- do you have knowledge as to 11:59:45

6 what that means when -- when an NGB is put on 11:59:46

7 probation by the USOC? 11:59:49

8 A. I don't. 11:59:52

9 Q. Who would know that? 11:59:52

10 A. Gary Johansen. 11:59:53

11 Q. All right. Do you know if the USOC had an 11:59:57

12 advisory board or -- or placed in a temporary board 12:00:03

13 to help USA Taekwondo get off probation? 12:00:09

14 A. I don't. 12:00:13

15 Q. Okay. And are you familiar with the 12:00:15

16 policies and procedures that the USOC has in place 12:00:18

17 at the Olympic training facilities? 12:00:22

18 A. Yes. 12:00:28

19 Q. All right. And are there policies and 12:00:29

20 procedures in place currently designed to prevent 12:00:30

21 sexual abuse at the Olympic Training Centers? 12:00:36

22 A. Yes. 12:00:43

23 Q. And where are those policies and 12:00:44

24 procedures located? 12:00:48

25 A. They're the U.S. Olympic Committee 12:00:49

Page 148
1 SafeSport policies that can be found on TeamUSA.org. 12:00:51

2 Q. All right. And what -- are you familiar 12:00:58

3 with those policies? 12:00:59

4 A. Yes. 12:01:00

5 Q. And what -- what are the -- in general, 12:01:00

6 what are the policies that the USOC has in place to 12:01:02

7 prevent sexual abuse at the actual location of the 12:01:05

8 Olympic Training Centers? 12:01:09

9 A. The USOC's SafeSport policies apply to the 12:01:10

10 Olympic Training Center and anyone else who is, you 12:01:15

11 know, competing or residing there. 12:01:19

12 So, there's an education component. It, 12:01:22

13 you know, identifies and defines and prohibits 12:01:22

14 various forms of sexual misconduct. 12:01:27

15 There's a mandatory reporting obligation, 12:01:32

16 and I believe an enforcement procedure. 12:01:34

17 Q. Is -- but are there -- are there rules in 12:01:38

18 place, like, for example, not to separate from 12:01:38

19 the -- the boys from the girls, separate dorms, 12:01:43

20 where they sleep? 12:01:44

21 A. I don't believe so. I don't know, though. 12:01:47

22 I don't -- no, I don't think so. 12:01:47

23 Q. Why not? 12:01:49

24 A. Well, I don't know -- I guess I don't know 12:01:51

25 what you mean by "separate from," right? Because if 12:01:53

Page 149
1 you look at a dormitory space, they're going to have 12:01:56

2 different floors. So, it's not like -- I don't -- I 12:02:00

3 don't -- I just don't -- I don't have enough 12:02:03

4 information to answer the question as stated. 12:02:08

5 Q. Have you ever become aware of any 12:02:10

6 allegations of -- of sexual abuse at the Olympic 12:02:12

7 Training Center here in Colorado? 12:02:15

8 MS. HOLM: Separate and apart from any 12:02:17

9 conversations with attorneys for either USOC, during 12:02:18

10 the course of your employment there, or during the 12:02:23

11 course of this litigation. 12:02:26

12 THE WITNESS: Okay. And, I'm sorry. May 12:02:28

13 I have the question read back, please. 12:02:28

14 (Last question read back). 12:02:31

15 A. Yes. 12:02:45

16 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Okay. And what -- what 12:02:46

17 instance have you made -- been made aware of? 12:02:49

18 A. I was made aware of the allegations 12:02:52

19 involving Yazmin Brown when the Complaint was filed. 12:02:57

20 Q. Okay. Anyone else? Any other instances 12:03:02

21 that you've been made aware of? 12:03:06

22 A. The only other ones that I would have been 12:03:08

23 aware of would have been made -- would have been 12:03:11

24 through the Complaint when it was filed. 12:03:13

25 Q. All right. 12:03:17

Page 150
1 THE WITNESS: Did you catch that? 12:03:20

2 Okay. 12:03:20

3 Q. (By Mr. Estey) And what did -- what did 12:03:20

4 you learn through the Complaint regarding Yazmin 12:03:20

5 Brown? What's your understanding of what happened 12:03:22

6 at the Olympic Training Center? 12:03:25

7 A. What I understood from that allegation is 12:03:27

8 that she, I believe, had sexual intercourse with 12:03:30

9 Gitelman while she was on the premises. 12:03:33

10 Q. And how old was she at the time? 12:03:36

11 A. Sixteen or 17. 12:03:42

12 Q. All right. And did -- did you have an 12:03:44

13 understanding as to where her room was located in 12:03:46

14 relation to Gitelman's? 12:03:49

15 A. I don't remember if it was in the 12:03:55

16 Complaint, but yes. 12:03:56

17 Q. Where? 12:03:57

18 A. My understanding is that they were across 12:03:59

19 the hall from one another. 12:04:01

20 Q. All right. What policies and procedures 12:04:02

21 did USOC have in place at that time to prevent a 12:04:04

22 coach from sexually abusing his athlete on the 12:04:09

23 USOC's Olympic Training Center grounds? 12:04:13

24 MS. HOLM: Can we get a foundation as to 12:04:18

25 the time that we're talking about? 12:04:20

Page 151
1 MR. ESTEY: Yeah. When -- when did that 12:04:36

2 happen? 12:04:36

3 Just for Yaz. 12:04:36

4 MS. HOLM: And -- and let's just lay a 12:04:36

5 little bit of a foundation here about your 12:04:37

6 knowledge, if you don't mind -- 12:04:41

7 MR. ESTEY: Yeah. 12:04:42

8 MS. HOLM: -- that you're talking about 12:04:42

9 right now. 12:04:43

10 Did you learn that from the Complaint, and 12:04:44

11 just reading the Complaint when you were served with 12:04:45

12 the Complaint, or have you learned information 12:04:47

13 through the course of this litigation from counsel 12:04:50

14 with regard to Ms. Brown's specific allegations? 12:04:53

15 Because, that, we're not going to go into? 12:04:57

16 MR. ESTEY: I'm already beyond the -- if 12:05:00

17 it helps you, I'm already beyond the -- the factual 12:05:02

18 basis. I'm just going into the policies and 12:05:05

19 procedures to prevent that type of stuff happening. 12:05:08

20 MS. HOLM: I know, but I -- I thought she 12:05:11

21 was talking about the Complaint, and I thought you 12:05:12

22 were going to go into further discussion about it. 12:05:14

23 So, what you're going to go into right now 12:05:14

24 is going to tell her when the date allegedly was of 12:05:16

25 those policies and procedures you want to get into? 12:05:20

Page 152
1 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Yeah. All right. In 12:05:21

2 November of 2011, what policies and procedures did 12:05:22

3 the USOC have in place to prevent a coach from 12:05:25

4 sexually abusing an underage athlete while on 12:05:29

5 Olympic Training Center grounds? 12:05:33

6 A. It would have been a combination of the 12:05:38

7 Coaching Code of Ethics, the USOC's Code of Conduct, 12:05:40

8 and criminal law. 12:05:42

9 Q. And what, under the Code of Ethics, was 12:05:51

10 designed to prevent this type of thing from 12:05:53

11 happening? 12:05:56

12 A. I mean, this goes back into the 12:05:56

13 prohibition on physical and sexual abuse, and that 12:05:58

14 applying, you know, to the USOC and the NGBs. 12:06:02

15 Q. And what in the Code of Conduct was 12:06:07

16 designed to prevent this type of thing from 12:06:09

17 happening? 12:06:11

18 A. Didn't I just answer that? 12:06:14

19 Q. That was for the Code of Ethics. 12:06:16

20 A. Oh, sorry. I thought I was answering it 12:06:18

21 for the Code of Conduct. Forgive me. 12:06:20

22 Q. Okay. 12:06:23

23 A. The co- -- so, the answer I just gave, I 12:06:23

24 was stating under the Code of Conduct. 12:06:24

25 The Coaching Ethics Code had prohibitions 12:06:27

Page 153
1 on sexual harassment and exploitative relationships 12:06:31

2 involving an imbalance of power. 12:06:35

3 Q. And who at the Olympic Training Center on 12:06:38

4 behalf of USOC was in charge of enforcing the Code 12:06:40

5 of Ethics and the Code of Conduct in -- in 2011? 12:06:43

6 MS. HOLM: Object to the form of the 12:06:48

7 question. Assumes that there was such enforcement 12:06:50

8 power or person. 12:06:53

9 Can you answer the question? 12:06:54

10 A. I mean, two things. We always expect the 12:07:03

11 NGBs to -- or whoever is sort of, you know, holding 12:07:05

12 a camp there, whoever it is, to sort of monitor 12:07:08

13 their situations that -- what I can tell you is that 12:07:16

14 the head of the OTC's at the time would have been 12:07:18

15 Mike English. 12:07:21

16 Q. (By Mr. Estey) And my -- my question -- 12:07:25

17 you may not know the answer, but my question is more 12:07:28

18 specific, is who at the USOC was in charge of making 12:07:31

19 sure that the Code of Ethics and the -- the Code of 12:07:35

20 Conduct was followed while athletes and coaches were 12:07:37

21 on Olympic Training Center grounds? 12:07:42

22 A. In 2011? 12:07:45

23 Q. Yes, ma'am. 12:07:47

24 A. It would have been a combination of 12:07:50

25 people. It would have been a combination of Human 12:07:52

Page 154
1 Resources, you know, the -- the people who oversee 12:07:55

2 the Olympic Training Centers, our legal department. 12:07:57

3 I mean, it would have been a combination of 12:08:00

4 individuals. 12:08:03

5 Q. All right. Do you know how it was -- 12:08:05

6 strike that. 12:08:06

7 I guess in 2011 it was okay for a coach to 12:08:07

8 have a -- a room directly across from his underaged 12:08:10

9 athlete's room. 12:08:15

10 A. Do I know if it was prohibited? 12:08:16

11 Yeah. So, I mean, here -- here's the 12:08:18

12 challenge with sort of determining where the coaches 12:08:20

13 reside and where the athletes reside, particularly 12:08:27

14 if they're under age. 12:08:30

15 Going back to your question about 12:08:31

16 chaperones, we think it's important to have a 12:08:32

17 chaperon available and monitoring, particularly when 12:08:36

18 there are underage athletes. 12:08:37

19 And, you know, that, you know -- depending 12:08:41

20 on how a group of individuals show up, it -- it may 12:08:43

21 or may not be their coach, it may or may not be 12:08:45

22 somebody else. 12:08:49

23 So, you have to be a little bit more 12:08:50

24 flexible on -- on how do you do the housing 12:08:52

25 arrangements. 12:08:54

Page 155
1 Q. In 2011, did the USOC require that an 12:08:54

2 athlete -- underage athlete have a chaperone 12:08:57

3 accompany him -- him or her when they stayed here 12:09:01

4 and trained here? 12:09:04

5 A. I don't know. I don't remember what it 12:09:07

6 was like in 2011. 12:09:08

7 You know, I showed up midway through the 12:09:11

8 year, so I don't -- I don't -- I just don't recall 12:09:13

9 whether there's an actual policy on those 12:09:15

10 arrangements, and -- and how that plays out on a 12:09:18

11 day-to-day basis. 12:09:20

12 Q. Who would know that in relation to, back 12:09:22

13 in the year 2011 -- late 2011, who would have been 12:09:25

14 in charge of determining whether or not a chaperone 12:09:28

15 was required for an underage athlete while training 12:09:33

16 at the USOC Olympic Training Centers? 12:09:38

17 A. It would have been either Mike English or 12:09:41

18 Glenn Warner Roseboom. 12:09:43

19 Q. All right. And do Glenn or Mike, do they 12:09:47

20 still work -- work with the USOC? 12:09:50

21 A. Mike has unfortunately passed away, and 12:09:52

22 Glenn is no longer -- no longer works at the USOC. 12:09:55

23 Q. Where is Glenn now, do you know? 12:09:58

24 A. I don't. 12:10:00

25 Q. Does -- does USOC currently have a policy 12:10:00

Page 156
1 requiring underage athletes to -- to be chaperoned 12:10:02

2 while at the Olympic Training Center? 12:10:05

3 A. It's certainly a practice. Whether it's a 12:10:09

4 written policy, I don't -- I don't think it's a 12:10:11

5 written policy, no. 12:10:13

6 Q. What do you mean it's certainly a 12:10:15

7 practice? 12:10:16

8 A. Exactly what I was saying, is that, you 12:10:16

9 know, when they're looking at how to arrange things, 12:10:18

10 they want to make sure that there are, you know, 12:10:21

11 individuals who are -- you don't want to leave a -- 12:10:25

12 like a floor of unsupervised minors, right? So, 12:10:28

13 it's important to kind of take a look at -- at that. 12:10:31

14 Q. Well, I know it's important to take a look 12:10:35

15 at it. Who's in charge of making sure you don't 12:10:37

16 have a floor of unsupervised minors? 12:10:39

17 A. The NGB. The NGB or whoever is submitting 12:10:40

18 it ahead of time. I mean, maybe it's an NGB, maybe 12:10:44

19 it's a club. I mean, there can be any number of 12:10:49

20 people who are utilizing -- 12:10:49

21 Q. But -- but the USOC owns the facility -- 12:10:50

22 the Olympic Training Center facility, right? 12:10:52

23 MS. HOLM: That's a "yes" or "no." 12:10:56

24 A. Yes. 12:10:57

25 Q. (By Mr. Estey) And it can regulate who 12:11:00

Page 157
1 comes to train at that facility, correct? 12:11:05

2 A. Correct. 12:11:09

3 Q. It can draft and implement rules for 12:11:10

4 anyone who wants to come there to train to follow, 12:11:16

5 right? 12:11:19

6 A. Yes. 12:11:21

7 Q. All right. And so did -- were there any 12:11:21

8 prohibitions back in 2011 that a coach could not 12:11:23

9 stay on the same floor across the hall from his 12:11:35

10 underage athlete? 12:11:40

11 MR. OKAMURA: Objection. Asked and 12:11:42

12 answered. 12:11:44

13 MS. HOLM: You can answer it again. 12:11:46

14 A. No. And that rule wouldn't have 12:11:47

15 necessarily made sense. 12:11:49

16 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Why not? 12:11:50

17 A. Because, again, if you leave your, you 12:11:51

18 know, underage athletes unsupervised, and let's say 12:11:56

19 something horrible happens and that unsupervised 12:12:01

20 17-year-old is sexually assaulted by some other 12:12:02

21 male, the question would be, why didn't you have a 12:12:08

22 chaperone there? Why didn't you at least have the 12:12:11

23 coach there? 12:12:15

24 So, there are a lot of different factors 12:12:15

25 you're going to take a look at. 12:12:17

Page 158
1 Q. Have you ever become aware of any rapes at 12:12:19

2 the Olympic Training Center facility? 12:12:21

3 A. No. 12:12:24

4 Q. Never? 12:12:24

5 A. I mean, again, the only -- depending on 12:12:25

6 how we're using the term. I mean, obviously, again, 12:12:27

7 going back to, I certainly learned of the sexual 12:12:30

8 interactions between Yazmin Brown when the Complaint 12:12:34

9 was published. 12:12:38

10 Q. Did -- did you ever become aware whether 12:12:39

11 the USOC had posted a guard in -- in front of the -- 12:12:40

12 the women's dorm? 12:12:44

13 A. No. 12:12:46

14 Q. Okay. Yeah, and as far as the rapes, that 12:12:48

15 question includes Lake Placid, Marquette and -- and 12:12:56

16 here in Colorado Springs. 12:12:57

17 MS. HOLM: Marquette's not a training 12:13:02

18 center at the time. 12:13:04

19 MR. LITTLE: They have a big sign out 12:13:06

20 front that says Olympic Training Center. 12:13:07

21 MS. HOLM: Well, they can have signs, I 12:13:11

22 suppose, but -- 12:13:11

23 MR. LITTLE: Your testimony -- your saying 12:13:11

24 that Marquette -- 12:13:11

25 MS. HOLM: What was the date that you're 12:13:12

Page 159
1 talking about? 12:13:14

2 MR. LITTLE: We're talking about from -- 12:13:15

3 from -- he said ever. Have you ever been aware of 12:13:15

4 any rapes at any of the Olympic Training Centers. 12:13:19

5 MS. HOLM: Well, let's just talk about 12:13:23

6 Marquette in terms of the date. 12:13:24

7 MR. LITTLE: Okay. 1980 -- from 1989 to 12:13:27

8 the present, in Marquette, Michigan, are you aware 12:13:28

9 of any rapes at the Olympic Training Center? 12:13:31

10 MS. HOLM: If you can answer the question. 12:13:34

11 A. Yeah. No. And the tricky piece with 12:13:37

12 Marquette is that it -- it, at some point, was not 12:13:42

13 owned or run or operated by the USOC around that 12:13:50

14 timeframe. And I just don't know -- I can't recall 12:13:57

15 what the date of transfer was. 12:14:01

16 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Have you ever heard of a 12:14:04

17 guy named Jean Lopez? 12:14:06

18 A. Yes. 12:14:09

19 Q. All right. And -- and -- and do you know 12:14:11

20 him? 12:14:13

21 A. No. 12:14:13

22 Q. And why have you heard of Jean Lopez? 12:14:15

23 A. The Lopezes, I think, as just -- I think 12:14:23

24 the Lopezes have been active in Taekwondo for 12:14:25

25 awhile, and I -- and I think there are -- there's 12:14:29

Page 160
1 more than one so the names just come up from time to 12:14:31

2 time. I can't, quite frankly, sitting here without 12:14:34

3 a little bit of help, recall or distinguish between 12:14:38

4 other Lopezes. 12:14:41

5 Q. Have you ever heard of any allegations of 12:14:43

6 sexual abuse between Lopez and -- and his athletes? 12:14:44

7 A. Again, I don't even know which one we're 12:14:48

8 talking about right now, so -- 12:14:51

9 Q. Jean. 12:14:52

10 MS. HOLM: Well, separate and apart from 12:14:54

11 anything you may have learned from any attorney. 12:14:56

12 A. I -- I'm just getting caught up on the 12:15:07

13 names. Like, I just don't remember the name. There 12:15:11

14 was an -- there was incident, I believe, in Russia. 12:15:13

15 I believe that allegedly involved a Lopez. 12:15:14

16 Q. (By Mr. Estey) When was that? 12:15:19

17 A. Late spring, early summer 2015. 12:15:23

18 Q. All right. And how were -- were -- were 12:15:27

19 you made aware of that? Who told you about that? 12:15:28

20 A. Somebody from Taekwondo contacted me sort 12:15:32

21 of or about the time that it happened. 12:15:32

22 Q. And what did they tell you? 12:15:40

23 A. They told -- 12:15:44

24 MS. HOLM: You know, the only thing that I 12:15:44

25 have to say about that is it has nothing to do with 12:15:45

Page 161
1 this case, and -- 12:15:47

2 MR. ESTEY: Right. 12:15:48

3 MS. HOLM: -- that individual is not a 12:15:49

4 Claimant here. 12:15:52

5 So, totally irrelevant and immaterial as 12:15:53

6 to what USAT had to say, and I'm going to instruct 12:15:56

7 her not to answer this question at this point 12:16:00

8 because it has -- unless you can lay a foundation 12:16:03

9 for me as to why it would be relevant to the issues 12:16:06

10 against USOC in this case. 12:16:11

11 Q. (By Mr. Estey) You -- you said it was 12:16:13

12 2015? 12:16:13

13 MS. HOLM: She said that. 12:16:15

14 A. Yeah, I believe so. 12:16:17

15 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. Well, I'll -- 12:16:18

16 I'll just go at it this way: You -- you don't know 12:16:18

17 about Mandy Meloon, right? 12:16:20

18 A. Correct. 12:16:23

19 Q. You -- you came in as the Director of 12:16:24

20 Ethics and SafeSport, is that right, in 2011? 12:16:30

21 A. Correct. 12:16:35

22 Q. All right. And did -- whoever hired you, 12:16:36

23 did they -- they tell you -- did they give you all 12:16:38

24 the information you -- you felt you needed to go 12:16:42

25 about your job? 12:16:44

Page 162
1 A. Yes. 12:16:47

2 Q. All right. Did anyone tell you that in 12:16:48

3 '07, an arbitrator in the matter of Mandy Meloon and 12:16:50

4 USA Taekwondo issued an opinion? 12:16:53

5 A. I don't recall that, no. 12:17:00

6 Q. Did anyone at USOC ever tell you that an 12:17:01

7 arbitrator had said to -- an opinion, said to USOC 12:17:04

8 in '07, "Ms. Meloon's core message went to the 12:17:11

9 protection of the young girls in the Olympic 12:17:17

10 movement who could be exposed to situations that are 12:17:20

11 inappropriate and potentially damaging"? 12:17:23

12 A. No. 12:17:26

13 Q. Did anyone at USOC, when they hired you, 12:17:27

14 tell you that an arbitrator had written that, "One 12:17:30

15 would hope that this message is not lost and young 12:17:33

16 children in the Olympic movement are properly 12:17:37

17 supervised, protected and educated"? 12:17:40

18 A. I don't recall that, no. 12:17:42

19 Q. Is this something you'd want to know when 12:17:45

20 you -- when you got hired by the USOC? 12:17:46

21 MS. HOLM: Objection. Calls for 12:17:50

22 speculation. Instruct her not to answer the 12:17:50

23 question as phrased. It's also argumentative. 12:17:53

24 MR. ESTEY: Okay. And what's the basis 12:17:55

25 for the objection? 12:17:57

Page 163
1 MS. HOLM: I gave you two of them; 12:17:58

2 speculation and argumentative. And I instructed her 12:17:59

3 not to answer. 12:18:02

4 MR. ESTEY: But that's not a grounds to 12:18:04

5 instruct her not to answer. 12:18:04

6 MS. HOLM: Oh, that's not true. The form 12:18:05

7 of the question, if it's argumentative, certainly 12:18:05

8 can be. 12:18:06

9 Q. (By Mr. Estey) All right. Did anyone at 12:18:08

10 USOC, when they hired you, tell you that an 12:18:09

11 arbitrator had told them in '07 that one would hope 12:18:12

12 that the USOC takes a serious look at the level of 12:18:16

13 social interaction between its coaches and athletes 12:18:20

14 and underage drinking by its athletes? 12:18:23

15 A. No. 12:18:27

16 Q. All right. Were you aware, and -- when 12:18:27

17 you were hired in 2011, that there was an issue of 12:18:27

18 underage drinking by its athletes? 12:18:31

19 A. No. 12:18:35

20 Q. Were you aware in 2011, when you took the 12:18:36

21 job, that there was an issue about the level of 12:18:39

22 social interaction between coaches and athletes? 12:18:44

23 A. No. 12:18:51

24 Q. All right. And then were you aware when 12:18:51

25 you were hired in -- in 2011 that this arbitrator 12:18:55

Page 164
1 told the USOC that one would hope that the 12:18:57

2 circumstances leading to the suspension of 12:19:01

3 Ms. Meloon will not reoccur in the life of another 12:19:03

4 young Olympic hopeful? 12:19:08

5 A. No. I mean, it appears that you're 12:19:10

6 obviously reading from something, and I -- I'm very 12:19:12

7 hesitant to continue asking questions -- or 12:19:15

8 answering questions about this unless we're having 12:19:15

9 the entire context of what was at issue, and, I 12:19:18

10 mean, I just -- the answer is no. 12:19:22

11 Q. Okay. 12:19:28

12 A. I would also like to see the document if 12:19:29

13 you're going to continue to read from it. 12:19:31

14 MS. HOLM: Well, I -- I -- I'm going to 12:19:33

15 suggest that we're going to go question by question. 12:19:34

16 Mr. Estey is clearly reading from a document, the 12:19:38

17 witness has already told him she has never read any 12:19:41

18 opinion regarding Ms. Meloon, or any of the 12:19:44

19 allegations involved there, and we can continue to 12:19:46

20 waste some time and ask questions about an opinion 12:19:47

21 that she's never read. 12:19:50

22 And you are taking some sentences out of 12:19:52

23 context with regard to what the allegations were. 12:19:55

24 But I'm not going to have her look at 12:19:58

25 something that she never saw before. 12:20:01

Page 165
1 MR. ESTEY: And those -- that's fine, but 12:20:03

2 I'm not asking her about this document. I'm asking 12:20:04

3 what was told to her -- 12:20:09

4 MS. HOLM: I understand that. 12:20:10

5 MR. ESTEY: -- at the time she was hired. 12:20:11

6 MS. HOLM: -- and I'm -- you're doing that 12:20:11

7 for a point, and that's your point. 12:20:11

8 Now, go ahead and do it. 12:20:15

9 MR. ESTEY: Okay. 12:20:18

10 MS. HOLM: The answer is going to be 12:20:20

11 either "yes" or "no." 12:20:20

12 THE WITNESS: Okay. 12:20:20

13 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Now -- so, you were 12:20:20

14 hired -- strike that. 12:20:22

15 Do you know if the USOC hired anyone 12:20:25

16 between the -- the dates of 2007 and 2011 to look at 12:20:29

17 the level of social interaction between its coaches 12:20:35

18 and athletes? 12:20:40

19 A. I don't know. 12:20:41

20 Q. Do you know if the USOC, between 2007 and 12:20:42

21 2011, hired anyone to look at the issue as to 12:20:44

22 whether or not its athletes were being properly 12:20:52

23 supervised, protected and educated? 12:20:54

24 A. I don't know. 12:20:57

25 Q. And do you know if between 2007 and 2011 12:20:58

Page 166
1 whether or not the USOC hired anyone to look at or 12:21:02

2 review situations involving coaches and athletes 12:21:09

3 that were inappropriate and potentially damaging? 12:21:18

4 A. I don't know. 12:21:25

5 MR. ESTEY: Let's take a break. I think 12:21:38

6 I'm getting close to being finished. 12:21:39

7 THE VIDEOGRAPHER: This is the end of 12:21:43

8 Media Unit 2 in the deposition of Malia Arrington. 12:21:43

9 We're off the record at 12:22 p.m. 12:21:45

10 (A recess was taken from 12:22 p.m. to 12:21:49

11 12:29 p.m.) 12:21:49

12 THE VIDEOGRAPHER: This is the beginning 12:29:03

13 of Media Unit 3 in the deposition of Malia 12:29:04

14 Arrington. We're back on the record at 12:29 p.m. 12:29:07

15 Q. (By Mr. Estey) Ma'am, you mentioned the 12:29:11

16 date of December 31st, 2013, was the date that all 12:29:13

17 NGBs were required to have some form of SafeSport 12:29:16

18 initiative in place, is that right? 12:29:18

19 A. Correct. 12:29:20

20 Q. And, then, to your understanding, does 12:29:20

21 USAT currently have some form of SafeSport policies 12:29:22

22 and procedures in place? 12:29:28

23 A. Yes. 12:29:29

24 Q. And that's as of December 31st, 2013? 12:29:29

25 A. They certify their compliance at that 12:29:36

Page 167
1 time, yes. 12:29:36

2 COURT REPORTER: Wait a minute. I didn't 12:29:36

3 get that. 12:29:36

4 THE WITNESS: Sorry. 12:29:36

5 MS. HOLM: As of December 31st, 2013. 12:29:36

6 Q. (By Mr. Estey) As -- you understand that 12:29:36

7 USAT had certified their compliance with that 12:29:37

8 requirement as of December 31st, 2013? 12:29:42

9 A. Yes. 12:29:45

10 Q. Okay. That's all I have. Thank you very 12:29:47

11 much for your time. 12:29:48

12 MR. LITTLE: I've got a few questions. 12:29:51

13 EXAMINATION 12:29:53

14 BY MR. LITTLE: 12:29:53

15 Q. Why is the SafeSport Center being located 12:29:54

16 in Denver? 12:29:57

17 A. You know, I think the Board of Directors 12:30:00

18 had a lot of different considerations, including -- 12:30:02

19 you know, to the extent that they anticipate that 12:30:05

20 the investigators will have to travel, they wanted 12:30:09

21 it to be centrally located, cost of living, you 12:30:10

22 know, sort of desirability and attract -- to attract 12:30:15

23 individuals, you know, while still giving them 12:30:20

24 some -- some distance between the USOC and the 12:30:22

25 Center. 12:30:28

Page 168
1 Q. Okay. You mentioned other funders. Who 12:30:29

2 are the other funders? You said NGBs, USOC and 12:30:32

3 other funders. 12:30:38

4 A. Yeah. So, I mean, it's -- I don't think 12:30:39

5 any of this is, you know, public at this point. The 12:30:39

6 NBA has committed monies, and, you know, we continue 12:30:42

7 conversations with them and other individuals. I'm 12:30:48

8 not sure I can really share much beyond that. I 12:30:49

9 mean, the fundraising efforts will continue. 12:30:53

10 MS. HOLM: And I'll instruct you don't 12:30:56

11 need to. It's immaterial and irrelevant to this 12:30:57

12 lawsuit. 12:30:58

13 Q. (By Mr. Little) Is -- is Bryan Cave a 12:30:59

14 funder of the SafeSport Center? 12:30:59

15 A. No. Oh -- 12:31:03

16 MS. HOLM: Okay. Give me a chance. 12:31:04

17 THE WITNESS: Sorry. 12:31:06

18 MS. HOLM: It's totally immaterial and 12:31:07

19 irrelevant to the subject matter of this lawsuit, 12:31:08

20 and I would instruct you not to answer the question, 12:31:10

21 but you already have. 12:31:13

22 MR. LITTLE: It goes to control as to what 12:31:15

23 the USOC can make the NGBs do or not do, including 12:31:16

24 contribute money to a SafeSport Center. 12:31:19

25 MS. HOLM: That's a situation that hasn't 12:31:22

Page 169
1 been totally set up yet. It's still in the process 12:31:24

2 of being established. It has nothing to do with the 12:31:24

3 what the USOC was doing during the timeframe that 12:31:28

4 you all are complaining about in this lawsuit. 12:31:32

5 MR. LITTLE: Okay. Well, we'll agree to 12:31:35

6 disagree for now. 12:31:37

7 MS. HOLM: That's okay. 12:31:39

8 Q. (By Mr. Little) You mentioned you'd have 12:31:41

9 to review documents to find out how much Taekwondo 12:31:42

10 would have to pay to support the SafeSport Center. 12:31:45

11 What documents would you have to review? 12:31:48

12 A. We at the USOC had suggested a strategy. 12:31:54

13 So, again, the NGB commitment is 12:31:59

14 $1.04 million a year, and the USOC doesn't -- 12:32:01

15 doesn't control how they determine what that looks 12:32:06

16 like, but ultimately -- sorry. 12:32:08

17 MS. HOLM: The -- the question was what 12:32:08

18 documents would you have to look at? 12:32:10

19 A. It's -- it's not like a formal document. 12:32:11

20 It's just sort of in my notes somewhere. Sorry. 12:32:13

21 MS. HOLM: That's okay. 12:32:17

22 Q. (By Mr. Little) You said something about 12:32:22

23 High Performance funding; if they -- if the NGBs 12:32:30

24 don't comply with -- with USOC directives or 12:32:34

25 mandates, you could take High Performance funding 12:32:39

Page 170
1 USOC could take High Performance Funding from the 12:32:43

2 N -- from the NGBs. 12:32:43

3 A. I recall mentioning High Performance 12:32:45

4 funding, yes. 12:32:47

5 Q. What is High Performance funding? 12:32:48

6 A. It is -- to the best of my knowledge, and 12:32:50

7 I'm not the person who has the most information 12:32:55

8 about this, but to the best of my knowledge, it's 12:32:58

9 funding that the USOC provides to Sport National 12:33:00

10 Governing Bodies to support their High Performance 12:33:02

11 athletes and programs. 12:33:09

12 Q. And then the NGBs can use that money to, 12:33:12

13 say, rent the Olympic Training Center? 12:33:17

14 A. I don't know. 12:33:20

15 Q. Who would be the person to ask about that, 12:33:21

16 if you know? 12:33:22

17 A. I'm not sure. 12:33:25

18 Q. Okay. You said Ran -- Rana Dershowitz? 12:33:27

19 Is that right? Ronda or Rana? 12:33:33

20 A. Rana. 12:33:37

21 Q. Rana. 12:33:38

22 Where -- where is she now? 12:33:38

23 A. Aspen. 12:33:39

24 Q. I mean, is -- is she involved in the 12:33:40

25 Olympic movement? 12:33:42

Page 171
1 A. No. 12:33:44

2 Q. Okay. Is she working at a law firm or -- 12:33:45

3 do you know? 12:33:47

4 A. I believe it's the Aspen Ski Company, or 12:33:48

5 whoever the owner is. 12:33:51

6 Q. Okay. You -- you mentioned a the name 12:33:55

7 Dave McCann as somebody you interviewed with. 12:33:57

8 A. Yes. 12:33:59

9 Q. Who -- how do you spell that? 12:34:00

10 A. M-c-C-A-N-N. 12:34:01

11 Q. Two Ns. 12:34:04

12 And who is he? 12:34:04

13 A. At the time, he was the Director of 12:34:06

14 Coaching Education. 12:34:09

15 Q. Has Richard Young ever been your attorney, 12:34:15

16 I mean -- I mean, in -- in terms of your -- 12:34:22

17 A. For the USOC? 12:34:25

18 Q. For you at -- yeah, first, for you 12:34:28

19 personally. 12:34:30

20 A. For me personally? No. 12:34:32

21 Q. Okay. In any litigation you've been 12:34:34

22 involved in, has Mr. -- Mr. Young been your 12:34:36

23 attorney? 12:34:39

24 A. I'm sorry. 12:34:40

25 Q. That was a bad question. 12:34:40

Page 172
1 A. When you say -- yeah. Sorry. 12:34:40

2 Q. Let me -- let me start again. 12:34:42

3 A. Yeah. 12:34:43

4 Q. Have you been involved in any litigation 12:34:43

5 where you believe Richard Young was your attorney 12:34:46

6 for the -- you know, as part of your job at USOC? 12:34:49

7 A. Yes. 12:34:58

8 Q. Okay. And which cases were those? Just 12:34:59

9 the names of the cases, not the communication. 12:35:01

10 A. The only one I can think of is the current 12:35:08

11 litigation. 12:35:10

12 Q. Okay. What's going to happen to all of 12:35:12

13 the individual NGBs SafeSport people once the 12:35:22

14 SafeSport Center opens? 12:35:26

15 MS. HOLM: Could you repeat that question, 12:35:30

16 please? 12:35:31

17 MR. LITTLE: Sure. 12:35:31

18 Q. (By Mr. Little) When the SafeSport Center 12:35:32

19 opens, it's my understanding that USOC, the Center, 12:35:33

20 will take control of the investigation of SafeSport 12:35:35

21 complaints. So, what happens to the Susan Westners 12:35:43

22 and the other people in the NGBs that handle these 12:35:44

23 claims currently? 12:35:50

24 MS. HOLM: Well -- 12:35:51

25 MR. LITTLE: And I'll say, it goes to 12:35:51

Page 173
1 control. I mean, the USOC has the ability to take 12:35:51

2 over this function. They're going to. 12:35:56

3 A. To -- to clarify, the USOC is not taking 12:35:58

4 over this function. 12:36:01

5 MS. HOLM: That's correct. 12:36:03

6 MR. LITTLE: Well -- 12:36:03

7 MS. HOLM: I'm going to instruct her not 12:36:03

8 to answer the question as phrased. It also calls 12:36:05

9 for a -- a little bit of speculation in the future 12:36:08

10 about a bunch of individuals that you named. 12:36:10

11 Q. (By Mr. Little) What is Richard Young's 12:36:12

12 role with the SafeSport Center? 12:36:14

13 A. Not entirely confident I understand the 12:36:20

14 question. 12:36:24

15 Q. What -- what does Richard Young -- what is 12:36:24

16 he doing with the SafeSport Center? Is he involved, 12:36:26

17 and what -- what's been his involvement with it? 12:36:28

18 A. He has -- well, actually, I don't think I 12:36:33

19 can -- I don't think I can share that without 12:36:36

20 disclosing attorney-client privileged information. 12:36:39

21 Q. Okay. You -- you mentioned a 2013 Working 12:36:42

22 Group. Who are the members of that Working -- is 12:36:45

23 that -- well, first of all, is that Working Group 12:36:51

24 still working? 12:36:54

25 A. No. 12:36:55

Page 174
1 Q. Okay. And who are the members of that 12:36:55

2 Working Group? 12:36:57

3 A. I would have chaired it, and then it would 12:37:03

4 have been Susan Westner, Casey Jorgansen, Margie 12:37:07

5 Mara, Margaret Holtzer, Mina Kemphill, Julie Novak, 12:37:14

6 Renee Jamison or Steve Penny. I can't recall which 12:37:34

7 one of them. I -- I recall Renee being in the room 12:37:39

8 more than anyone else. 12:37:42

9 I think that's it in terms of, you know, 12:37:45

10 non-USOC individuals. It's in the document 12:37:50

11 somewhere. It can be confirmed through the document 12:37:56

12 itself. 12:37:58

13 Q. I think you're right on Steve Penny. 12:37:59

14 Who's Casey Jorgenson? 12:37:59

15 A. He is counsel with USA Hockey. 12:38:03

16 Q. And Julie Novak? 12:38:06

17 A. She heads up child safety for Big Brothers 12:38:07

18 Big Sisters. 12:38:11

19 Q. Is Ross Wales involved with the SafeSport 12:38:17

20 Center? 12:38:24

21 A. No. 12:38:26

22 Q. Was he involved with the 2013 Working 12:38:27

23 Group? 12:38:30

24 A. No. I don't even know that name. 12:38:31

25 Q. Okay. Renee Jamison, who is she or he? 12:38:33

Page 175
1 A. She works at USA Gymnastics. 12:38:36

2 Q. It's ironic two USA Gymnastics people are 12:38:39

3 on this committee. 12:38:43

4 Did you attend the Olympics games in 12:38:52

5 London? 12:38:53

6 A. No. 12:38:55

7 Q. In Sochi? 12:38:56

8 A. No. 12:38:57

9 Q. In Rio? 12:38:58

10 A. No. 12:38:59

11 Q. You mentioned consulting with experts. 12:39:08

12 You mentioned Cecelia Brackenridge. Was she 12:39:11

13 retained by the USOC? 12:39:15

14 A. Celia Brackenridge, and no. 12:39:17

15 Q. Okay. Did you work with Victor Vief? 12:39:19

16 A. No. 12:39:22

17 Q. Anybody at the Gunderson Center? 12:39:23

18 A. We have worked with individuals who have 12:39:25

19 been associated with that. I can't recall whether 12:39:30

20 they were at the time. It would have included 12:39:33

21 Stephanie Smith as a presenter at our SafeSport 12:39:35

22 Summit. 12:39:39

23 Q. Who else have you worked with as experts 12:39:40

24 in SafeSport? 12:39:43

25 A. So, Stephanie Smith. You know, we've -- 12:39:45

Page 176
1 Celia Brackenridge, Kari Fasting, Sandra Kirby, Anna 12:39:50

2 Salter, Darkness to Light, people at the Non-Profit 12:39:56

3 Risk Management Center, people from the Title 9 12:40:03

4 Space. 12:40:06

5 Q. Let's back up to the Non-Profit Risk 12:40:07

6 Management Center. What -- what was their 12:40:10

7 involvement in SafeSport? 12:40:12

8 A. We did a year-long public awareness 12:40:13

9 campaign to prevent child sexual abuse in sport. 12:40:18

10 That included a series of webinars. So, monthly 12:40:22

11 webinars and monthly newsletters. 12:40:28

12 Q. Um-hum. 12:40:31

13 A. And then, again, that culminated in the 12:40:31

14 SafeSport Summit. And so they would have been 12:40:34

15 involved in things like screening practices. 12:40:40

16 Q. Where are they based out of? 12:40:46

17 A. I don't -- I don't know. 12:40:47

18 Q. Who did you work with at the Non-Profit 12:40:48

19 Risk Management Center? 12:40:51

20 A. I can't remember her name. I can see her 12:40:53

21 face, I just can't remember her name right now. 12:40:56

22 Q. If I wanted to get your communication with 12:40:56

23 the Non-Profit Risk Management Center, is that 12:40:56

24 something you could produce to your attorneys? 12:41:00

25 A. If -- if I have any, yeah. 12:41:03

Page 177
1 Q. Okay. 12:41:09

2 A. Yeah. 12:41:12

3 Q. You mentioned disclosures to Olympic 12:41:12

4 Training Centers about who's using the training 12:41:14

5 centers. Do you remember talking about this 12:41:19

6 earlier? 12:41:21

7 A. I'm sorry. I don't. 12:41:22

8 MR. LITTLE: At about 9:40 a.m., she 12:41:23

9 mentioned that. Is there any way we can go back and 12:41:25

10 look what she said exactly? 12:41:27

11 MS. HOLM: I think you're talking about 12:41:31

12 the time when -- 12:41:31

13 MR. LITTLE: It was right after -- 12:41:33

14 MS. HOLM: -- the NGB -- or whoever the 12:41:33

15 club member or -- or the NGB was would make 12:41:35

16 disclosures about -- 12:41:37

17 A. Oh, the OTC -- the OTC Access Policy? 12:41:40

18 Q. (By Mr. Little) Yeah. Yeah. 12:41:42

19 A. Okay. 12:41:42

20 Q. It was in reference to the OTC Access 12:41:42

21 Policy. It was right after you talked about Celia 12:41:44

22 Brackenridge. 12:41:46

23 A. Okay. 12:41:48

24 Q. You mentioned that they have to make 12:41:49

25 disclosures when they use the Olympic Training 12:41:50

Page 178
1 Center. Do you recall talking about this? 12:41:54

2 A. Yeah. So, what it is is if they're going 12:41:55

3 to ask that a particular individual reside or train 12:41:58

4 at one of the Olympic Training Centers, the NGBs 12:42:02

5 need to disclose, you know, anything if it 12:42:05

6 involves -- if -- if one of those individuals has a 12:42:08

7 criminal record or has gage -- engaged in other 12:42:11

8 behaviors that would warrant concern about them 12:42:14

9 being on campus. 12:42:19

10 Q. And those disclosures are written, I 12:42:20

11 presume. 12:42:24

12 A. No, not necessarily. 12:42:24

13 Q. How are they made? 12:42:27

14 A. The NGB would indicate that they would 12:42:29

15 want to give somebody access. They -- they could 12:42:32

16 be, you know, picking up the phone and making a 12:42:34

17 phone call and having that conversation. They -- 12:42:37

18 they could also be in writing. 12:42:39

19 Q. Who do they call? 12:42:41

20 A. It, I'm sure, depends on who they have the 12:42:42

21 strongest relationship within the USOC. 12:42:45

22 Q. There is no centralized repository of 12:42:48

23 these disclosures? 12:42:48

24 A. No. I mean, I -- I guess I'm not -- I'm 12:42:55

25 not sure I'm understanding the question. 12:42:58

Page 179
1 So, my point is, they need to disclose. 12:43:00

2 They -- you know, each NGB has a different 12:43:03

3 relationship with a different person. The point is 12:43:06

4 that they get the information to us. 12:43:08

5 It's not -- I mean, it's not like there 12:43:09

6 isn't like a place that we would, you know, document 12:43:13

7 anything that we did. 12:43:15

8 Q. Well, if I want to know the disclosures 12:43:16

9 that were made about Mark Gitelman, how would I get 12:43:19

10 those? 12:43:23

11 MS. HOLM: If you know. 12:43:24

12 A. I -- I feel like there's an assumption in 12:43:26

13 your question that is not necessarily accurate. 12:43:32

14 Q. (By Mr. Little) What is that? 12:43:34

15 A. I think you're assumption is that there 12:43:35

16 were disclosures made about Mark Gitelman to the 12:43:38

17 USOC. To the best of my knowledge, that's not an 12:43:41

18 accurate assumption. 12:43:44

19 Q. Was -- was USA Taekwondo, in 2009 or 2011, 12:43:46

20 required to make such disclosures? 12:43:49

21 MS. HOLM: Well, about what? 12:43:53

22 MR. LITTLE: About -- she said that it's 12:43:54

23 part of the policy you have to make these 12:43:55

24 disclosures about who's using the training center, 12:43:58

25 criminal records and such, so I'm asking did -- was 12:44:00

Page 180
1 it required in 2009, question mark? Was it required 12:44:03

2 in 2011, question mark? Because there should be 12:44:06

3 some for Mr. Gitelman, I presume. 12:44:07

4 MS. HOLM: Well, you're asking -- you -- 12:44:11

5 you want to know, generally, if it was required in 12:44:12

6 2009 as well as 2011, that a disclosure be made if 12:44:17

7 somebody has a criminal background known to the NGB 12:44:21

8 or the club, whoever, to the USOC. 12:44:25

9 MR. LITTLE: Correct. To use the training 12:44:29

10 center. 12:44:29

11 MS. HOLM: Okay. That's just a general 12:44:31

12 question. Was that supposed to be done? 12:44:33

13 A. Beginning in 2011. 12:44:36

14 Q. (By Mr. Little) So, beginning when in 12:44:39

15 2011? 12:44:41

16 A. I think it would have been October or 12:44:45

17 November, give or take. 12:44:50

18 Q. Okay. 12:44:52

19 A. I know it was 2011. I'm not sure when. 12:44:52

20 Q. So, if I wanted to get the disclosure from 12:44:55

21 November 2011 for Mark Gitelman, where would I -- 12:44:58

22 where would I get that from? 12:45:02

23 A. Again, you're -- 12:45:04

24 MS. HOLM: You're assuming a fact that may 12:45:04

25 not be in evidence, ever, that there was any such 12:45:06

Page 181
1 thing as a disclosure as to Mark Gitelman. 12:45:09

2 MR. OKAMURA: I join in that objection. 12:45:12

3 MR. LITTLE: Well, she just said that 12:45:14

4 October 2011, and our allegation was that they used 12:45:15

5 the Olympic Training Center for the Rocky Mountain 12:45:17

6 Open in November 2011, one month after it was 12:45:19

7 required in October 2011. 12:45:22

8 MS. HOLM: Well, I appreciate that, but 12:45:24

9 you're saying -- you're asking, basically, if there 12:45:26

10 were a disclosure as to Mark Gitelman back in 2011, 12:45:27

11 where, if anywhere, would that disclosure be found? 12:45:31

12 MR. LITTLE: I'm trying -- I'm trying to 12:45:35

13 write the discovery request -- 12:45:36

14 MS. HOLM: Is that what your question is? 12:45:37

15 MR. LITTLE: -- that I'm going to send to 12:45:37

16 you, so I wanted to make it as easy as possible. 12:45:38

17 MS. HOLM: Well, I think I understand what 12:45:42

18 your position is, but you're assuming a whole bunch 12:45:43

19 of stuff. 12:45:44

20 But you want to know, have there -- if 12:45:44

21 there were a disclosure back in 2011 about Mark 12:45:44

22 Gitelman, just hypothetically, where would that be, 12:45:51

23 if anywhere, at this point? 12:45:54

24 MR. LITTLE: Correct. That is exactly my 12:45:57

25 question. 12:45:59

Page 182
1 A. I would be aware of any disclosures made 12:45:59

2 under the OTC Access Policy. 12:46:02

3 Q. (By Mr. Little) So, if I asked you to 12:46:04

4 produce whatever you -- whatever disclosure made 12:46:07

5 about Mark Gitelman, that's something you can 12:46:07

6 produce to -- to Ms. -- Ms. Holm? 12:46:10

7 MS. HOLM: The question is argumentative 12:46:11

8 as phrased. You're assuming there was a disclosure 12:46:13

9 made. But if there were -- 12:46:16

10 MR. LITTLE: She's already answered there 12:46:16

11 weren't any. 12:46:16

12 MS. HOLM: Well -- 12:46:19

13 A. I did -- I -- I -- 12:46:19

14 MS. HOLM: That's not your question. 12:46:19

15 MR. LITTLE: All right. Well -- 12:46:21

16 MS. HOLM: Do you want to ask that 12:46:21

17 question? 12:46:22

18 MR. LITTLE: No. I'm going to just send 12:46:22

19 the discovery request and see what comes back out of 12:46:24

20 that. 12:46:26

21 Q. (By Mr. Little) Where is John Ruger 12:46:27

22 today, if you know? 12:46:27

23 A. He is with USA Beach Volleyball somewhere 12:46:32

24 in California. 12:46:37

25 Q. Why did he, if you know, leave his role as 12:46:40

Page 183
1 Ombudsman? 12:46:43

2 A. I don't know. 12:46:45

3 Q. Okay. When did he leave his role as 12:46:45

4 Ombudsman? 12:46:47

5 A. I -- I don't recall. I mean, it's been 12:46:57

6 within the last two years, I believe. 12:46:58

7 Q. Who took over his role as Ombudsman? 12:47:13

8 A. Kasey Wallace. 12:47:16

9 Q. Kasey Wallace? 12:47:17

10 A. Correct. 12:47:19

11 Q. With a K or with a C? 12:47:19

12 A. With a K. 12:47:23

13 Q. Okay. All right. And after October of 12:47:24

14 2013, did you know if Mr. Gitelman was still 12:47:45

15 coaching at his Taekwondo studio in Nevada? 12:47:48

16 A. I did not. It was my understanding that 12:47:51

17 he had been suspended. 12:47:54

18 Q. Okay. And -- and -- and, to you, that 12:47:55

19 meant that he was suspended from coaching in Tae- -- 12:47:56

20 USA Taekwondo period? 12:47:58

21 A. He would have been suspended as to -- I 12:48:01

22 can't speak to the employment because -- piece 12:48:03

23 because the employment piece would have been 12:48:04

24 controlled by whatever local club or association 12:48:08

25 employed him, but my understanding would have been 12:48:11

Page 184
1 that he would not have been permitted to participate 12:48:14

2 in anything that was sort of USA Taekwondo. 12:48:19

3 Q. Including coaching in his club -- his USA 12:48:25

4 Taekwondo club? 12:48:28

5 A. I don't know what the legal relationship 12:48:31

6 is between USA Taekwondo and its local club, right? 12:48:32

7 Again, that's -- that's the -- the difference 12:48:36

8 between employment. 12:48:36

9 If -- if the USA Tae- -- Taekwondo can 12:48:37

10 affect membership, that doesn't mean that they can 12:48:38

11 simultaneously suspend employment if he's not their 12:48:43

12 employee. 12:48:46

13 Q. So, it's -- it's -- it's your testimony, 12:48:47

14 if I -- if I understand correctly, that somebody 12:48:48

15 could be suspended from coaching in an NGB, yet 12:48:48

16 still coach in their local club? 12:48:53

17 A. If their local club is the employer, and 12:48:54

18 the local club that chooses not to take action 12:48:58

19 consistent with what the NGB is requesting, it is 12:49:01

20 possible. 12:49:04

21 Q. And -- and that's permitted under the USOC 12:49:05

22 Minimum Standards -- Minimum Safe -- what are they 12:49:08

23 called; the things that they have to certify 12:49:11

24 compliance with? 12:49:12

25 A. It's -- it's permitted under employment 12:49:13

Page 185
1 law. 12:49:15

2 Q. Okay. Is it permitted under the 12:49:17

3 minimum -- what are these minimum standards that you 12:49:20

4 had to certify compliance with in 2013? What are 12:49:24

5 they called again? 12:49:27

6 A. I believe it is Minimum -- it's Athlete -- 12:49:29

7 I don't remember which -- I don't remember if 12:49:33

8 Minimum Standards comes first or the Athlete Safety 12:49:34

9 Policy comes first, but it's ultimately about 12:49:37

10 Minimum Standards for Athlete Safety Policies. 12:49:41

11 Q. Okay. And that permits a coach who is 12:49:45

12 suspended to -- the USOC would permit a coach 12:49:48

13 suspended by an NGB to be -- to continue coaching in 12:49:51

14 their local clubs, is that right? 12:49:51

15 A. The USOC has no authority, in any way, 12:49:54

16 shape or form, to WHAT effect membership, to enforce 12:49:56

17 membership disciplinary actions, and employment law 12:50:01

18 permits whoever the employer is to take whatever 12:50:07

19 employment action they want to or need to take. 12:50:11

20 It's -- it's always the case that the 12:50:14

21 employer is the one who effects employment. 12:50:15

22 Q. So -- so, the answer to my question then, 12:50:17

23 the USOC would permit -- the USOC permits a 12:50:21

24 suspended coach -- a coach suspended by an NGB, to 12:50:25

25 continue coaching in his club, is that -- is that 12:50:29

Page 186
1 right? 12:50:30

2 A. You're -- 12:50:32

3 MR. OKAMURA: Objection. Asked -- 12:50:32

4 MS. HOLM: That's not at all what she 12:50:33

5 said. It misstates her testimony. She answered 12:50:34

6 your question. 12:50:37

7 Q. (By Mr. Little) Well, let me put it this 12:50:38

8 way: Yes or no. If a coach appears on a U -- on an 12:50:39

9 NGBs pay -- is suspended by an NGB -- strike that. 12:50:40

10 Start again. 12:50:43

11 If a coach is suspended by an NGB, and the 12:50:46

12 USOC knows that coach is still coaching at their 12:50:48

13 local club, the USOC will not take any action 12:50:52

14 against that to -- to ensure that that coach doesn't 12:50:58

15 coach at that club. Is that what you're saying? 12:51:00

16 A. The USOC does not have the authority to do 12:51:01

17 so. 12:51:04

18 Q. Based on -- is -- is -- is that from the 12:51:05

19 Ted Stevens Amateur Sports Act that you draw that 12:51:08

20 conclusion? 12:51:12

21 A. It's based on the fact that these are 12:51:14

22 independent organizations. And from an enforcement 12:51:16

23 perspective, the only -- the only organization that 12:51:23

24 can enforce a membership suspension is the NGB. And 12:51:26

25 the only organization that can effect employment is 12:51:32

Page 187
1 the organization that employs that individual. 12:51:36

2 So, your questions contain an assumption 12:51:41

3 that isn't accurate. 12:51:42

4 Q. So, really, the USOC SafeSport policy is 12:51:45

5 pretty -- it has no enforcement mechanism, is that 12:51:49

6 correct? 12:51:51

7 MS. HOLM: It's argumentative as phrased. 12:51:53

8 Misstates the testimony. 12:51:56

9 If you want to answer the question again, 12:51:58

10 you can go ahead. 12:51:59

11 Q. (By Mr. Little) Actually, let me ask a 12:52:00

12 better question. 12:52:02

13 What can the USOC do to enforce the 12:52:03

14 suspension of coaches for sexual abuse? 12:52:07

15 A. The USOC cannot enforce a suspension of 12:52:09

16 coaches. What they can do under the minimum 12:52:12

17 standards is take action vis-a-vis funding, or the 12:52:15

18 recognition of a member in good standing. 12:52:18

19 Q. Okay. And what action did they take 12:52:21

20 against Mark Gitelman? 12:52:23

21 A. The USOC does not have the authority to 12:52:25

22 take any action vis-a-vis Mark Gitelman. 12:52:28

23 Q. What action did they take against 12:52:30

24 Taekwondo to enforce SafeSport, if any? 12:52:32

25 MS. HOLM: Well, it's argumentative as 12:52:37

Page 188
1 phrased. Assumes they would take some action 12:52:38

2 against USAT. 12:52:42

3 If you can answer the question as phrased. 12:52:44

4 MR. LITTLE: We'll move on. 12:52:45

5 Q. (By Mr. Little) Who produced your 12:52:46

6 SafeSport videos that are on your website? On the 12:52:47

7 team USA.org and on the SafeSport website? 12:52:51

8 A. Help me understand your question a little 12:52:52

9 bit more. Do you mean in terms of, like, who did 12:52:59

10 the video production, or who did content 12:53:02

11 development,or like what -- what are you asking? 12:53:02

12 Q. I want to get -- I want to get them with 12:53:06

13 the outtakes, and I'm trying to figure out where to 12:53:07

14 send the production request. 12:53:10

15 So, did you produce them in-house? Like, 12:53:11

16 did you film them in-house? 12:53:14

17 MS. HOLM: So, you want the outtakes from 12:53:19

18 the -- that's going to be a request. The outtakes 12:53:21

19 from -- 12:53:23

20 MR. LITTLE: The outtakes -- 12:53:25

21 MS. HOLM: -- the videos. 12:53:26

22 MR. LITTLE: Right. And the videos 12:53:26

23 themselves that are -- you know, besides the ones 12:53:26

24 that are on the website. They've -- they've taken 12:53:28

25 some up and down over the years. 12:53:30

Page 189
1 A. We have those videos. I mean, we have -- 12:53:33

2 we own that material. 12:53:34

3 Q. (By Mr. Little) Okay. And who did you 12:53:36

4 consult with in -- in preparing and making the 12:53:39

5 90-min SafeSport training? Any experts? 12:53:43

6 A. Yeah. I mean, it's going to go -- I mean, 12:53:46

7 any of the materials that we utilized goes back to 12:53:48

8 the individuals I've previously identified. 12:53:51

9 There -- there may have been others. 12:53:52

10 Q. Okay. If I wanted a list of those people 12:53:55

11 that you consulted with, is that something you can 12:53:57

12 put together and get to your lawyers? 12:54:00

13 A. Yes. 12:54:04

14 Q. Okay. Did you ever consult in the 12:54:06

15 SafeSport context with Dale Neuberger? 12:54:21

16 A. I don't recognize that name, no. 12:54:25

17 Q. In the context of USA Bobsled? 12:54:26

18 A. I don't recognize that name. 12:54:30

19 Q. TSE Sports Consulting? 12:54:32

20 A. I don't know that name. 12:54:35

21 Q. That's all I have. Thank you. 12:54:40

22 EXAMINATION 12:54:40

23 BY MR. TUREK: 12:54:40

24 Q. Good afternoon. I'm Ken Turek. I 12:54:54

25 represent Kendra Gatt, and I have just about five 12:54:57

Page 190
1 minutes of questions. 12:55:00

2 The first series of questions I have deal 12:55:02

3 with something that I think you addressed this 12:55:05

4 morning, and I apologize, I was out of the room, so 12:55:07

5 I might get an objection from your talented lawyers, 12:55:10

6 but -- and that's to deal with grooming. And I 12:55:13

7 wanted to know what your background or 12:55:15

8 understanding, education of grooming is in the 12:55:17

9 pedophile area, sexual abuse area. 12:55:21

10 MS. HOLM: Well, I am going to object. 12:55:25

11 That was asked and answered at great length at the 12:55:25

12 beginning. 12:55:29

13 Q. (By Mr. Turek) Okay. Can I get a 12:55:29

14 thumbnail sketch of it, please? 12:55:31

15 A. Sure. You know, my understanding is that 12:55:35

16 it is essentially the process an individual will use 12:55:40

17 to ultimately gain a victim's trust, sort of make 12:55:43

18 them feel special, ultimately sexualize the 12:55:51

19 relationship, and, you know, maintain the secrete, 12:55:57

20 sort of roughly speaking. 12:55:59

21 Q. And I don't know if you applied it this 12:56:05

22 morning, but do you understand that that process can 12:56:07

23 apply to parents as well? 12:56:10

24 A. Yes. 12:56:12

25 Q. Can you explain that to me? 12:56:12

Page 191
1 A. Perpetrators will frequently groom the 12:56:15

2 parents and the community for a variety of reasons, 12:56:18

3 you know, not the least of which is because they 12:56:23

4 know that parents control the access to their 12:56:26

5 children. 12:56:30

6 Q. Could you turn, if you would, please, to 12:56:31

7 Exhibit 2 and Page 14. That's the Working Group 12:56:33

8 document. 12:56:39

9 There it is. 12:56:39

10 A. Page 14? 12:56:41

11 Q. Page 14. 12:56:42

12 A. Okay. 12:56:43

13 Q. There's an outline here for parents' 12:56:45

14 training and education, do you see that? 12:56:48

15 A. I do. 12:56:50

16 Q. Do you -- can you just give me a brief 12:56:51

17 outline of what SafeSport does to train parents? 12:56:53

18 A. Yeah. SafeSport has an online training 12:56:58

19 specifically provided for parents that walks through 12:56:59

20 all forms of misconduct. 12:57:05

21 It also has, you know, resources -- like 12:57:07

22 written resources on the website for parents around 12:57:11

23 tips and frequently asked questions and things that 12:57:14

24 they can ask their club to determine whether or not 12:57:18

25 that club has safety procedures in place. 12:57:20

Page 192
1 Q. Okay. And does that touch on the grooming 12:57:23

2 aspect of what to look for, or -- 12:57:26

3 A. I believe it does, yes. 12:57:29

4 Q. Okay. And were you part of the group that 12:57:31

5 put that together? 12:57:33

6 A. I was, yes. 12:57:35

7 Q. Do you know if the four different areas 12:57:37

8 that are addressed here on Page 14 are addressed in 12:57:39

9 that online outline that you just described -- or, 12:57:42

10 pardon me. Do you know if those four procedures -- 12:57:48

11 let me start again. 12:57:52

12 A. Sure. 12:57:54

13 Q. Do you know if the four areas that are 12:57:55

14 outlined on Page 14 under parents' training and 12:57:56

15 education are addressed in those online videos or 12:57:59

16 materials that you just described? 12:58:05

17 A. If -- if it it's not in the online 12:58:17

18 training, certainly the first three are available 12:58:18

19 through written resources for parents, and then some 12:58:20

20 methods in sort of the last one that will sort of 12:58:25

21 help parents and athletes communicate about this 12:58:31

22 issue. 12:58:34

23 Q. Do you -- do you know when those 12:58:35

24 materials, in general, became available to parents? 12:58:37

25 Were -- were made available to parents? 12:58:39

Page 193
1 A. Yeah. I mean, the written piece would 12:58:41

2 have been available in 2012. The online education 12:58:43

3 came a little bit later. 12:58:50

4 We had some parents who were taking the 12:58:52

5 90-minute training. It's just a different version 12:58:54

6 of it. 12:58:56

7 Q. And -- and what -- what's the timeframe 12:58:58

8 for that you just described? 12:58:59

9 A. So, the first online training was 2012, 12:59:01

10 and then the parent specific one, which we were sort 12:59:04

11 of responding to the fact that the parents didn't 12:59:08

12 seem to be taking these materials and that they 12:59:10

13 wanted something shorter -- I -- I just don't 12:59:14

14 remember when it rolled out but it was -- it was 12:59:16

15 after 2012. 12:59:19

16 Q. Okay. But the earliest time that 12:59:21

17 materials were made available to parents was 2012? 12:59:22

18 Is that a fair statement? 12:59:25

19 A. Through SafeSport.org. That would have 12:59:27

20 been the first time that it was available through 12:59:30

21 SafeSport. 12:59:32

22 Q. Are you aware of any other times where the 12:59:33

23 USOC made those types of materials available to 12:59:34

24 parents? 12:59:38

25 A. I'm not. 12:59:38

Page 194
1 Q. That's all I have. Thank you. 12:59:39

2 MR. ESTEY: Opposing counsel, do you have 12:59:41

3 any questions? 12:59:41

4 MS. HOLM: I have about an hour. 12:59:46

5 MR. ESTEY: What? 12:59:48

6 MS. HOLM: I'm just joking. 12:59:48

7 COURT REPORTER: Can I get all your orders 12:59:48

8 on the record before we go off? 12:59:48

9 MR. ESTEY: What's that? 12:59:55

10 COURT REPORTER: Can I get all of you 12:59:55

11 guys' orders -- 12:59:55

12 MR. ESTEY: Yes. I -- I need an order. 12:59:55

13 I need a video. I need a transcript. I 12:59:57

14 need a video synced with trial director, if 01:00:03

15 possible. I need a condensed, and whachamacallit? 01:00:06

16 A chronic copy too. 01:00:11

17 MR. LITTLE: I'm good. 01:00:14

18 MS. HOLM: I'd like copies of all the 01:00:14

19 same. 01:00:16

20 MR. OKAMURA: Same. 01:00:17

21 MS. HOLM: And I think we probably need a 01:00:19

22 stipulation. 01:00:21

23 MR. ESTEY: I propose the following 01:00:22

24 stipulation to -- you guys don't uphold your duties 01:00:22

25 right here, but we'll have the -- the transcript 01:00:24

Page 195
1 sent direct to Ms. Holm's office, and make sure 01:00:26

2 she -- the deponent reads it and signs under penalty 01:00:30

3 of perjury, and makes any changes she feels are 01:00:32

4 necessary. 01:00:36

5 And how long do you need to do that? 30 01:00:36

6 days? 01:00:40

7 THE WITNESS: Sure. 01:00:45

8 MR. ESTEY: Okay. 01:00:46

9 MR. LITTLE: Thirty days from the date you 01:00:46

10 get it. 01:00:47

11 THE WITNESS: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's 01:00:48

12 fine. 01:00:49

13 MR. ESTEY: And then if you can notify us 01:00:49

14 within 15 days thereafter, letting me know of the 01:00:51

15 fact that she signed it and of the changes made. 01:00:52

16 You can maintain custody of the original, 01:00:54

17 make it available upon reasonable request. 01:00:56

18 If, for some reason, the original's not 01:00:58

19 available or unsigned for whatever reason, then an 01:01:00

20 unsigned certified copy can be used for any purpose 01:01:03

21 in lieu thereof. 01:01:07

22 MS. HOLM: So stipulated. 01:01:08

23 MR. OKAMURA: So stipulated. 01:01:09

24 MR. ESTEY: Good. What do you want to 01:01:11

25 do -- we're off the record now. 01:01:11

Page 196
