Former Olympian Conrad Mainwaring Pleads Guilty to Child Molestation Charges

Conrad Mainwaring, once a celebrated Olympian, has admitted to sexually abusing nine boys at a Massachusetts sports camp in the 1970s.

Conrad Mainwaring, a former Olympian and track coach, pleaded guilty to 16 counts of indecent assault and battery involving nine male victims.
The abuses occurred at Camp Greylock in western Massachusetts between 1975 and 1979, where Mainwaring worked as a counselor.
Victims, now adults, testified about the lasting impact of the abuse, calling Mainwaring a danger to young men and demanding a lengthy prison sentence.
Mainwaring used his Olympic credentials as a grooming technique, convincing the boys that the sexual assault would make them better athletes.
The case against Mainwaring began after a 2019 ESPN report, leading to his arrest in 2021 on a fugitive warrant.
