Abstract
The author Mariah Burton-Nelson (2002) revealed that, as an adolescent athlete, she was the victim of sexual harassment and statutory rape perpetrated by her coach...Burton-Nelson's honesty provides a launching pad for this chapter, because it exhibits two important factors about the male coach-female athlete relationship. The first, that male coaches have been perpetrators of sexual harassment and abuse against female athletes of all ages, has been widely researched. The second, that consensual sexual relationships have occurred between adult coaches and adult athletes, has largely been ignored in the sports ethics literature.
