Американская девушка-боец ММА Илима-Лэй Макфарлэйн (11-0) присоединилась к иску против своего бывшего тренера по баскетболу Дуэйна Йена, сообщает Sports.kz.

Макфарлэйн, как и другие девушки, обвинила Йена в педофилии. По словам спортсменки, тренер совращал ее и ее младшую сестру, когда они учились в школе в Гонолулу. Пострадавшие от действий Йена утверждали, что тот заставлял их трогать его гениталии, показывал изображения порнографического содержания и предлагал им заниматься сексом за деньги. По словам Илимы-Лэй, в школе обещали провести внутреннее расследование случившегося, однако ни о каких итогах не сообщили.

«Отвратительно, что он до сих пор тренирует несовершеннолетних девочек. Спустя 15 лет мы с сестрой по-прежнему требуем справедливости. Это больше не сойдет ему с рук. Дуэйн Йен, твое время вышло!» — так Макфарлэйн подытожила длинный пост в Instagram.

Добавим, что Илима-Лэй Макфарлэйн является чемпионкой Bellator в полулегком весе.

Even though I’ve been a strong voice for other wahine toa—creating my scholarship for native girls, teaching self-defense to them, leading healing retreats for women—I never really shared my own story. To be honest, I was in denial and didn’t want to admit that it affected me as much as it did. I have to be strong. I’m a professional fighter. I can’t show any vulnerability. I can’t give him the satisfaction of knowing how much he infiltrated my thoughts, relationships and life even 15 years later. But here we are. The time is now. And for all the trolls saying, “wHy DiD u wAiT s0 l0nG?!” Idiots. We didn’t “wait”. My sister reported him to the school right when it happened and they swept it under the rug. Punahou knew I was a victim and witness to my own sister’s abuse and didn’t even bother to check on me. As a result we were retaliated against by him and the basketball program and had to see him everyday, still allowed on campus around minors. My sister and I tried our best to move on with our lives until it resurfaced in 2018 when more victims came forward. Punahou claimed they were doing an internal investigation but again, didn’t contact me and refused to share the results of the “investigation” with my sister. Disgustingly, we found out that he’s STILL coaching and teaching minor girls. So here we are now, 15 years later seeking justice together. He can’t get away with this anymore. Dwayne Yuen, YOUR TIME IS UP. P.S. I chose this picture not only for the solidarity that my family and I have together through this process, but to show you how old me and Mahina were when the sexual grooming and abuse started. I was in 6th grade and she (far right) was a freshman.
