    Before Paralympic swimmer Parker Egbert moved to Colorado Springs in January of 2022, the USOPC assured his parents that he'd be safe with roommate Robert Griswold. However, according to a civil lawsuit filed by the Egberts, the USOPC had already received complaints from at least six different athletes concerning Griswold and his misconduct. Parker allegedly suffered months of sexual and physical abuse at the hands of Griswold, who had previously been suspended for six months by the U.S. Center for SafeSport.

    Back in September of 2020, blind swimmer Anastasia Pagonis reported that Griswold grabbed her butt and sent her a sexually inappropriate text message when she was just 16 years old — but that's not actually why he was first suspended by SafeSport, at least according to the lawsuit. SafeSport allegedly found that Griswold's only misconduct with Pagonis was providing alcohol to a minor, which the lawsuit claims was the official reason for his six-month suspension in 2020.
