前教练Aaron Thomas因侵犯男性运动员赤裸裸的身体检查 获得为期一年的缓刑 尽管对性指控无罪开释
Former coach Aaron Thomas gets 1-year probation for invasive, naked body checks on male athletes, despite acquittal on sex charges.
前罗得岛高中篮球教练Aaron Thomas被判缓刑一年,罪名是因对男性学生运动员进行侵犯性裸体身体评估而犯有两起轻微殴打罪。
Former Rhode Island high school basketball coach Aaron Thomas was sentenced to one year of probation after being convicted of two misdemeanor battery charges stemming from his practice of conducting invasive, naked body assessments on male student-athletes.
审判表明,他进行了这些评估,要求学生脱下内裤,并涉及数十年来与数百名运动员进行身体接触,最初是在衣柜里,后来在办公室里。
The trial revealed he performed these evaluations—requiring students to remove their underwear and involving physical contact—on hundreds of athletes over decades, initially in a closet and later in his office.
尽管对更为严重的与性别有关的指控没有作出宣判,但陪审团认定,他的行为构成不当行为。
Though acquitted of more serious sex-related charges, the jury found his actions constituted misconduct.
检察官辩称,这种做法使他长时间、不适当地接触未成年人,而辩护律师则认为不存在性意图。
Prosecutors argued the practice gave him prolonged, inappropriate access to minors, while defense attorneys maintained there was no sexual intent.
身体构成专家证实该方法缺乏科学有效性。
Body composition experts testified the method lacked scientific validity.
该句反映了一种法律认定,即虽然该行为不道德和不适当,但不符合更严厉刑事处罚的门槛。
The sentence reflects a legal determination that while the behavior was unethical and inappropriate, it did not meet the threshold for more severe criminal penalties.
