It’s now been more than two years since Parker Egbert reported to authorities that he was sexually assaulted. The Tokyo Paralympic swimmer was diagnosed with injuries that matched his disturbing allegations against Robert Griswold, who has a history of predatory behavior. So why was Griswold never arrested by Colorado Springs police?
Back in November of 2023, lawyers for the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee sounded the alarm when I published a redacted copy of the Colorado Springs police report. They accused Parker Egberts’ family and lawyers of leaking the document to me, demanding everyone involved release their personal communications with the press.
The only thing was, no leak had taken place. In reality, I got the police report via public records request from the Colorado Springs police themselves. The 70-page document shed light on how they handled their criminal investigation, why they decided not to pursue charges against Griswold, and what they may have missed along the way.
