On this week's episode of "Brian Ross Investigates," ABC News Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross speaks with former Olympic hopeful Jancy Thompson, who filed the fifth sexual misconduct lawsuit against USA Swimming in a sex abuse scandal that continues to escalate.
Thompson, now 28, tells Ross her California swim coach began to abuse her at age 15.
"He told me that he could give me the recipe to being an Olympics swimmer, so I trusted him that he wouldn't hurt me, that he would take me to the Olympics," Thompson, who entered law enforcement after quitting swimming, tells Ross. "So what he said was what I believed, and I didn't know any better."
Her coach even humiliated her at practice by making her wear a dog collar with a leash attached to it, which her coach held while she swam laps at the pool, Thompson says.
