In reading both articles more carefully, skschlag is correct. He was hired, working at Sanford Academy, and convicted...before information that children were also harmed at Apex had come out. He was fired from Sanford Academy, for reasons unrelated to the case, and hired at The Gym Company before he was arrested. Therefore he wasn't on the ineligible list nor did he have any sort of record that would show up in a background check until AFTER working at all three of these gyms!

This is one of the problems. People aren't on the list until after they have been convicted. I get the whole innocent until proven guilty thing - but given how hard it is to get a child abuse allegation convicted it seems there needs to be more checks and balances during the time after a person has been charged. At the least a way to limit futher contact with gymnasts until after the case has been resolved.
