For decades, rumors of sexual abuse followed one Chicago-area coach, yet he continued to get job after job. Now, former players are speaking out. "How many people in power or high-power positions chose to save their fucking career by not telling?”

Former players say Chicago area hockey coach sexually abused them

For years, stories circulated about Thomas "Chico" Adrahtas' behavior. Despite those rumors, he continued to get coaching jobs.
