images, with 67 being particularly focused on the genitals. (PSR ll 32).
Investigators were able to identify 49 victims who were recorded. The victims were
all minors, some as young as 8 years old. (PSR ?l 32). The recordings were also not

when he worked in California. (PSR ?l 33-33a).

Many of the gymnasts Bettman coached were interviewed as part of the
investigation. One victim referred to Bettman as a father figure and indicated that
he would give the girls hugs and they would sit on his laps. (PSR ll 33a). Other
victims and observers described similar instances of inappropriate touching or
behavior including Bettman having the gymnasts sit on his lap or Bettman
providing back massages to the gymnastic. (PSR 111] 34-41).
