Two months after a federal lawsuit was filed against him accusing him of raping a special needs teammate, attorneys for gold-medal Paralympic swimmer Robert Griswold have denied all allegations levied in the lawsuit.
According to the lawsuit, the now 19-year-old plaintiff was born with autism and suffered from developmental delay and intellectual disability their entire life. They didn’t begin speaking until the age of six and currently only have the mental capacity of a five-year-old.
The lawsuit explains the plaintiff, a Paralympic athlete and former teammate of Griswold, defied “all odds” to get where they were only to have their life “utterly shattered by rape and abuse when [they were] paired with a team member who was a violent sexual predator.”
