Directly because of Griswold’s “vicious acts” and “the repeated failures of USOPC (the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee) and SafeSport to uphold their duties,” the lawsuit says that Egbert has “suffered severe physical injuries, pain and suffering, and extreme mental and emotional distress, most of which is likely to endure for the rest of his life.”Griswold had not responded to CNN’s request for comment at the time of publication.“The allegations brought forth by the complaint filed today are extremely concerning and we take them very seriously,” the USOPC said in a statement to CNN.We’re also continuing our investigation of the allegations to help us determine the facts, and we are committed to taking appropriate action.”SafeSport and USA Swimming have not responded to CNN’s request for comment at the time of publication.Egbert was born with autism, did not speak until he was six, and “currently has the mental capacity of a five-year old,” the lawsuit says.Egbert “refused to take showers which was where Griswold would rape and sexually abuse” him, the lawsuit says, and he began writing stories as a means of escape including one which he titled ‘Spookley and the Hurricane.’The story, according to the lawsuit, was about a group of friends who were “brave” in defeating “a powerful hurricane called Hurricane Robert,” which Egbert referred to as a “monster.”After his parents asked Egbert about this story, he revealed Griswold’s abuse to them but when they expressed their concerns, “USOPC declined to respond to the issue,” the lawsuit says."
