And its resulted in criminal charges, lawsuits and countersuits. You have to realize the threats he made to me. Your only goal is, what can i do to make sure that i live one more day .

She would do track to stay in shape to get ready for softball, and then and coach said, hey, why dont you try throwing . And she threw and they went, oh, youre not a runner. Youre a thrower.

It was her life and she loved it. She loved the game, and College Recruiters loved her, one in particular. From a division i powerhouse in multiple sports, the university of arizona. Craig carter came to the home of Baillie Gibsons parents, sat down, spoke with her, spoke with her parents, and basically explained to them why the university of arizona was a good fit for her. Baillies High School Coach was one of my athletes, and so, she calls me and says, hey, i got this thrower. And that always helps. I started watching her, and shes probably one of the best athletes ive ever been around. Reporter craig karter, how did he come across to you . What did you think of him . I thought he was a great guy, he has good family morals. He pretty much said he was going to be like a father figure, like hes going to take care of whatever you need, and help you through anything. He says, ill treat her like she was my daughter. I wont let anything happen to her. Its just something that a father is thinking, well maybe this is good. Reporter in fact, coach carter is a married father of four himself. He brings baillie to tuscon, and u of a, for a visit. And you stepped on that campus thats pretty much where i knew, right when i like got to arizona, i was like oh, i can train all year round. I have a great group of girls that i train was. I was just like, this is the place i want to go. You know when you get to a certain place, where you want to go to school. Reporter one of the girls on the team she meets is canadian julie lebonte, who is also recruited by coach carter. What did you think of coach carter when you met him . I thought he was a really, really nice guy. He was trying to be very friendly, and since im from a french background, he was trying to make Little French jokes with celine dion and stuff like that. So, i thought it was pretty funny. Reporter julie and baillie hit it off, and coach carter is a hit with both of them. Baillie signs on to become an arizona wildcat, and there is cash attached, a full scholarship. Coach carter would later boast how he lobbied his boss to get her on the team. You know, to be able to get her was huge. I kept telling him, man, this girls going to be good.

Theyre all better than you. So youre like, okay, i got to step my game up. I got to practice harder because i wanted to be good. I wanted to be great. Reporter what about the relationship with coach carter . How was that building as you were getting to know him . It was really good my first year and a half. He was very supportive. He was always there. I can teach you girls how to golf. Its just like throwing the hammer. There you go. Yeah. Through the low point. Reporter but its during that second year that baillie and some teammates say they noticed a dramatic change in their coach, like fits of anger and a short fuse. He had a lot of mood swings, and then he would bounce back from one emotion to another emotion. He just got angrier, like, he would get upset if we would talk, like about the weekend or something in practice. Reporter so, he was having these mood swings and they were pretty intense, right . Carter was withdrawn, he would just go through these dark periods. And then, they said, he would go through these periods where he was joking around with them and fully engaged. And you never knew which craig carter was going to show up. Reporter julie says the female throwers become so fed up with coach carters erratic behavior, they complained to his boss, head coach fred harvey, and at a team meeting called out carters actions directly to his face. You tell us youre a father figure, but we dont need a father figure. You know, we have a father. We need a coach. Reporter and how did he react during this meeting . He was really upset and then he started crying, and he was very unstable and emotional. He just blamed that he was having a really bad family life. Him and his wife were fighting, and so, it was like, pity him. Reporter teammates say an apology follows, with promises to be better.

Reporter 20yearold arizona wildcat Baillie Gibson is one of them. But baillies coming off a year marked by injury and disappointment, and her performance is less than memorable. Coming in a distant 12th in the discus and ninth in the shotput. I didnt do as well as i had wanted. She knew she had a lot more potential there. So, she was disappointed with her performance, definitely. Reporter what happens next is still a subject of intense dispute, controversy and pain. Here is what bailee told us happened at after the competition ends. Writhing from the agony of defeat, baillie joins other teammates at a house party. Now, had you all been drinking . Yes. Reporter how intoxicated were you . I didnt think i was bad at all, like at all. I mean, yeah id been drinking, but it wasnt a lot, and i dont know, because it was like, red solo cups, you know. Reporter her friends want to hit the bars, but baillie, underage and under the influence, makes a different call. To her coach, craig karter. Why did you call him . Because thats what everyone told me to do and what a lot of other athletes do, is you call the coach. Reporter she says coach carter quickly comes to get her. She would later admit she was drunk and says getting in his car is the last thing she remembers. And i get in the car and then were driving, and then all of a sudden, i dont know what happens. Reporter the next day she sees her coach at the airport, and if a hangover and those disappointing standings werent heavy enough, baillie says coach carter is sending her back to tucson with baggage of a very different kind, humiliating and shocking. Hes like, how do you feel . And i was like, other than a huge headache, i feel fine. And hes like, well, you dont remember last night . No, not at all. Reporter she says carter tells her they had sex in the backseat of his car, and whats more, hes got the pictures to prove it. What were the pictures . Give me a sense of what you saw of yourself. Me laying there with no clothes on. In the backseat of a car. Reporter so they were pictures of him having sex with you. Yeah, intercourse. Reporter whats your reaction when hes showing these pictures to you . I want to puke. Im like devastated. Reporter what did he say to you next . Hes like, if you tell anyone, like, ill send these pictures out and show what a whore you are, and a slut. Reporter and you believed him . Yeah, because i didnt know anything else. I didnt want my body to be everywhere, or to lose my scholarship and go back to my hometown feeling like a failure. Reporter she says the fourhour flight back to tucsons a blur. And when she returns to campus, she says its not just the fear over her coachs alleged threats keeping her up at night, theres also shame. I thought it was my fault. I was, like, what did i do . Why would i ever do that . Thats not who i am. Thats not what im, like, about. Reporter does it occur to you to maybe call your parents . I wanted to. But i was scared what they would think. I dont want to look bad in their eyes. Reporter but coach carter tells a remarkably different story about the nature of their relationship and how it began he says baillie initiated, instigated and actively pursued a sexual relationship with him, alleging she viewed him as a prized conquest. Shes like, yeah, i just want to have sex whenever you want like, just have sex just for fun. Reporter soon, he says, the sex talk turns into action. A physical, consensual relationship. But however it began, its not going to end well. Baillie heads home to wyoming for the summer. For what she hopes will be a respite from the remorse and regret. But even 1,000 miles away, she claims carter is making insidious demands, insisting she text nude pictures of herself or else hell share those compromising photos. That summer, you didnt say anything to your parents . No. Reporter and is it difficult for you keeping that secret . Yeah. Its hard when you cant tell the people you love whats really going on with you. Reporter then, when she arrives back on campus, she says coach carter calls her to his office. Hes like, you didnt tell anyone . No, i didnt tell anybody. And hes like, good, because were going to have sex a lot more. And i was like, i dont want that. Reporter are you thinking of maybe reporting him to the university . Maybe calling the police . I thought about that. What are they going to say . Well, you wanted it. Reporter youre thinking its his word against yours. Yeah, hes got the power. Reporter how often were you seeing each other sexually . Like twice, three times a week. He would send a text, 7 00 team office. Reporter carter would insist there was a genuine emotional bond between them. I dont know how he didnt pick up that i did not want him. Reporter back in wyoming, baillies parents are concerned when their Third Year College student is sunday suddenly and inexplicably homesick. She started to want to come home a lot. She would show up. Surprise. And i thought, well, she just needs to come home. She misses home. But then when she would get a phone call in the middle of the visit and she would run into the other room. Like, who is that . She says its coach. I said, so whats the coach saying . Hes got to talk to me telling me my workouts. I just shrugged it off and thought it was kind of weird. Reporter did you see any changes . Did she seem her usual self around that time and after that time . Well, i noticed she was a little bit more, like, down on herself. Chef was not as, like, the smiley baillie i knew. Reporter how was her relationship with coach carter, anything different . They would butt heads a lot. She would say, okay, im not allowed to talk right now at practice. He told me im not allowed to smile and i thought that was very, very weird. Reporter the coach told her shes not allowed to smile . Yes. That was weird to me because he didnt say anything along those lines to any of the other athletes. Reporter coming up, baillie says she finds a courage to call a halt to the arrangement, but her coach wont take no for an answer. He grabbed you and put a box cutter to your throat . Yes. Reporter whats going on in your mind . Im not going to make it alive. Reporter stay with us. Reporter this looks like an ordinary office but Baillie Gibson claims that for more than two years, it was a place of torture, where her coach, craig carter, cohearsed her into countless sexual encounters. Baillie tells no one. Despair creeping into every part of her life. She turns to food to help here cope. I ate. Thats kind of my comfort, is eating. And i got heavier and i didnt really sleep a lot, so, i was very depressed. I had to act some what normal, but inside, i was just dying. Reporter what was the lowest point for you . When i was totally done with, like, everything. I didnt want to be an olympian anymore. I didnt want to do track. I didnt want to go out with my friends. I didnt want to do anything. Reporter then, by happenstance, the secret begins to unravel. In november of 2013, a female track and field staffer knocked on craig carters office door. It was locked. He took a long time to come to the door, and when he finally did emerge, his clothing was disheveled, and baillee gibson was sitting on a couch in his office. She grew concerned that something inappropriate was going on inside the office, and so, she reported it. Reporter whether consensual or otherwise, it is strictly forbidden, according to the university of arizona policy, which states no University Employee shall engage in a romantic or sexual relationship with a student, and any violation of this policy is subject to disciplinary action, including discharge. Craig carter was called into a meeting on november 5th of 2013 with his head coach, fred harvey, and the Athletic Director at the time, greg burn. Espn Investigative Reporter john barr obtained this memo where School Attorneys advised byrne, the Athletic Director, to say the following to carter. Coach, we have received reports of information that may indicate you are having or had a romantic or sexual relationship with a student athlete on the team. In the column of the notes, he writes, Baillie Gibson. Reporter byrne wouldnt comment for this report, but during that november 2013 meeting, coach carter lies, adamantly denying a sexual relationship with Baillie Gibson to his sue sere yours. There was no further investigation of him. According to craig carter, that meeting was the last of it. He denied it, and thats where it ended. They never asked to see his phone that was issued by the university. They never looked at this University Email account. But they asked craig carter, what will baillie tell us if we talk to her about what happened . Reporter what will baillie say . Turns out, she says carter got to her before the university did. Craig called me and said, hey, someone saw something, you better not answer anything. Hes like, dont say anything. Reporter so, the coach is telling you not to cooperate. Dont say anything. Yeah. And if you do, tell them that i was just comforting you that day. Reporter so, the university now is aware of this relationship. Do they contact you . They emailed me, but they did not confront me in person at all. Reporter here are the two emails baillie says were sent from the schools ant antiharassment office, informing her they received a report that she may be involved in a personal relationship with an employee of the university, and listing campus resources she could contact if she wants assistance. Baillie never responds. You dont reply. No. Reporter why not . Well, how am i supposed to . He told me not to. He knew that the email was comin
