San Jose Sharks sued over child sex abuse cover-up - San José Spotlight

A recently filed lawsuit claims Sharks Sports & Entertainment covered up a Jr. Sharks coach's alleged grooming and sexual abuse of child hockey players.

The lawsuit, filed Thursday, is being brought against Sharks Sports & Entertainment, LLC — the parent company of the official team. Boskovich is representing the family of a 12-year-old player who alleges direct abuse by Whitmer. On Oct. 31, 2023 the child’s family filed a report with the San Jose Police Department and the following month, Whitmer was arrested and charged with 30 felony counts of child sexual abuse and 25 counts of possession of child pornography.

The lawsuit also states that an employee in charge of the locker room was not only ignored by Sharks management when she raised concerns about Whitmer, but that she was terminated shortly after doing so.

“This program supervisor raised these concerns to management at least five to 10 times during the 2018-2023 period,” the filing reads.[/quotes]

Yikes! The article is even worse as there’s other news in it.

Thread title seems misleading?

This has nothing to do with the NHL team

News headline says the same thing. I just shortened it because it’s obvious that it doesn’t mean the Los Angeles Sharks. Or some high school whose team name is Sharks

Still seems likes it’s implicating the NHL team when it has nothing to do with them. Very click baity

Teams try to cover this up to avoid the negative press that would come with it, but the negative press that comes with not doing the right thing is so much worse.

Just get the pieces of shit out

 

[McGarnagle]

This is the second most embarrassing thing the Sharks have done today

Or… hear me out here: it does have something to do with them.

It doesn’t though, it’s a parent company which owns multiple teams. Has nothing to do with the NHL division.

Mods clarified the title though, so it’s fine

Why do people in hockey love to rape so much

Why do people in politics, public education, religious groups, entertainment, etc., etc., etc. like to rape so much? Hockey is not unique in this arena.

Guilty.

Glad they caught him.

Non-story. I guess you can make it a headline because it’s the alleged actions of the ownership of the team, but has nothing to do with the actual Sharks. Shouldn’t negatively effect the team’s perception or be a story talked about in an NHL context.

Unfortunate and concerning story, but it has nothing to do with the Sharks or the NHL.
