A Phoenix tennis pro is suing the United States Tennis Association for allowing an alleged known sexual abuser to continue coaching. 'USTA knowingly assigned a predator coach to then 19-year-old Kylie with no warning or safeguards whatsoever.'
Kylie McKenzie was 19 at the time, and she and her attorneys say that her sexual assault was entirely preventable because they claim there's a pattern of USTA turning a blind eye to these kinds of allegations.
McKenzie's lawyers said in the filing that USTA did not disclose that her coach, Anibal Aranda, had assaulted one of its employees years before the alleged incident involving McKenzie. Even with the ban, McKenzie said it became almost impossible for her to train anymore as her mental health suffered greatly after her assault.
McKenzie and her lawyers are demanding a comprehensive review of the USTA's athlete safety program and Congressional hearings for those who turned a blind eye to athletes being sexually abused.
