Hi Henryvii1509. I was between the ages of 13-16 at the time the "crimes" were committed. How dare you accuse a child of being an enabler? Again, I am going to emphasize Henryvii1509, YOU WERE NOT THERE IN THAT GYM WITH US, so how dare you make such an inflammatory comment?
I have been following this from Virginia, where I live and work. I am astonished that a public defender in your county is posting such volatile items as she has in this blog. I can't believe as tax paying citizens you all who are reading this who live in Mahoning County aren't trying to do something about her lack of professionalism and her behavior. As for her husband, I'm sure he trying to defend his wife's reprehensible behavior, but unfortunately for him, he is also in a position of power. I feel bad for both of the Dinsio's in that they have to air their dirty laundry for all to see in a public forum and are unable to keep their emotions under control.
As for Greg, I saw the aggression of the teenage females perusing Greg on a regular basis. We all went to Australia together as a traveling team. Again, nothing but professionalism on his part. Parents entrusted Greg with the care of their children on an international trip. I'm quite sure that if even one of them thought he was a child molester or rapist there wouldn't be one single female alone with him on that trip. As mentioned before, we have some very protective parents who are quite observant to what occurred at YGC.
Everyone will come to their own conclusions about this case. Not one of you who have written on this blog can truly say what happened in that gym with those girls. I spend hours and hours a week with all of them... together... before, during, and after practice. These people were like my family for many years. You spend so much more time with them then you do with your real family in a very intense environment. I will again restate that these girls perused him so hard it was sickening. I'm sorry that Greg gets the same life sentence a murder would get for "issues" that occurred nearly 20 years ago. I hope there is an appropriate appeal process that will take place for him in the near future.
You know, it's quite funny how quick we are to judge people and situations we know nothing about. I, as was "formergymnast" was coached by Greg for many years. I knew both of the gymnasts who claimed sexual misconduct and was on the same team as they were at the same time as the apparent crime took place. "Formergymnast" was very correct in saying how many girls, including both of these woman, would throw themselves at Greg in public view for all of us to see during practice. Parents commented on how inappropriate one of the girls behavior was, even going to her parents to advise them on their daughter's behavior. I never saw anything but professionalism from Greg. My question is IF this misconduct took place and was so detrimental to these victims, why did both continue with Greg as their coach after all of this "unwanted sexual contact" and why did they both wait nearly 20 years to "seek justice"? It just doesn't add up.
I later reconnected with Greg several years ago. Our careers crossed paths and he was the same Greg as always. Caring, compassionate, witty, and charming. I agree with "formergymnast" that most of us that were on team at that time had quite protective parents who were at most of the practices, meets, and camps. I would imagine that out of the hundreds of parents that closely observed all of the previous, one of them may have raised an eyebrow if his behavior was the least bit improper. Funny that it was quite the contrary. The only eyebrows that were being raised were from the behavior of a few of the girls who were acting inappropriate with Greg.
A 43 year prison term is unbelievably unjust. To Greg and his family, I'm sorry that the justice system has failed you. Our system is suppose to protect us... and to you and your family, it has failed. Mahoning County residents, please choose your elected officials more carefully...
Dew sentenced to 43-year term
