A Virginia native, and one of the nation’s most prominent swim coaches, is scheduled to be sentenced for the sexual abuse of a girl he was instructing.
Richard Curl, who pled guilty to charges in February, is scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday in Montgomery County Circuit Court.
Curl was banned for life by USA Swimming over allegations of having an intimate relationship with a teenaged swimmer in the 1980s. Curl was charged last year when a woman came forward and told police that he sexually abused her from the ages of 13 to 18 when he was her swim coach.
Curl faces up to 15 years in prison.
