[전국][단독] “Coach stormed a swimming dream tree” vs. “manipulated”

[앵커]

These days, violence in the world of sports is increasing.

There was also such an incident in Suyeong.

The indictment revealed that the coach was also abusing an elementary school student with a blunt weapon, and was forced into the water and repeatedly abused her.

In response, the coach replied that it was rigged.

Reporter Kim Bum-hwan covered it.

High school students who once dreamed of becoming swimming champions,

However, when I think of swimming training in elementary school, my chi still trembles.

[폭행 피해 학생 A군 : 스패너로 제 정강이랑 발등을 때리고 그때도 계속 멍들어서 3개월간 멍이 지속됐고요.]

There were practically no days that didn’t fit.

The swim coach said that finning was the norm, and he even jumped into the water and stepped on it.

[폭행 피해 학생 B군 : 머리를 잡고 물속으로 왔다 갔다 하면 숨을 쉴 때 물이 들어가거든요. 그게 반복되다 보니까 숨을 못 쉬겠는 거예요. 그 상태에서 발로 밟고 물에 떠오르고 있는데 복부를 무릎으로 강타하고….]

He explained how hard he was hit and felt even deadly.

[폭행 피해 학생 A군 : 물속에 박혀서 못 나오게 발로 누르고 손으로 계속 눌러서 못 나오게 해서 물 마시고 숨도 못 쉬어서 그때도 한 번 죽을 뻔했고요.]

I started swimming because I liked it and it became a nightmare.

Despite brute force, the victims did not inform their parents that they were being beaten.

I even moved to school because I wanted to swim and most of all, I didn’t want to disappoint my parents.

I couldn’t bear it so I reported late to my parents, but they said the assault continued after that.

There are 3 students who have been affected by the prosecution in the last two years since 2016.

[전 초등학교 수영 코치(2017년) : 죽을죄를 지었다고…. 형이 이렇게 무릎 꿇고 너(학부모)한테 (사과)한다. 내가 이렇게 누구한테 무릎 꿇고 해 본 적 없어. 무릎 꿇고 반성한다고. 미안하다, 무조건 미안하다. 무조건 잘못했다고, 그건 다 내 잘못이라고….]

The prosecution turned the former A elementary school swim coach on trial on four counts: child abuse, special battery, injury and battery.

In response, Mr. A denied the violence and said that the apology he gave his parents at the time was forced to save the swim club.

[전 초등학교 수영 코치 : 다른 애들은 안 맞고 왜 그 아이들만 맞았다고 그러냐고. 다른 애들은 때리는 것 본 적도 없고 맞은 적도 없는데 다른 애들도 때리는 것 본 적 없는데 우리 코치님은….]

In the fierce court battle, attention is paid to what kind of sentence the court will pass.
