He is looking at the possibility of 15 years in prison for abusing one of his young swimmers, fondling and sexual inter course over the course of years, at the pool, at her parents home, everywhere he could get his hands on her. This has had a lifelong impact on her. It doesnt go away. Reporter the victim stood quietly. Curl gave the girl and her parents 150,000 back in the 1980s to keep quiet about to abuse. But curran says when she saw curl coaching other young swimmers at olympic tryouts, she could no longer remain silent. When you are 13, 14, and 15, you are not in a voluntary relationship with someone thats 20 years your senior who is your coach. That is not voluntary. Thats abuse. Reporter curl had been running one of the countrys biggest swim clubs. But it changed its name to the Nations Capital swim club after curran came forward and accused curl of abuse. Usa swimming banned the elite coach for life. Prosecutors decline to say whether they think curl may have abused other young swimmers but they encourage any victim of child sexual abuse to come forward, no matter how old the allegations.

Reporter becky and the priest who abused her when she was in Elementary School, thats them, a newspaper picture on ash wednesday. I felt like he was a priest. He was sent by god. He was someone in authority. I had been told to stand up when he enters the room. I was told to listen to him. I was told what he said came directly from god. And thats where my salvation came from. As a little girl, the only way i could get to heaven was through priests, and then he abused me so it must be my fault. I felt like god was punishing me. Reporter feelings that followed her into adulthood. When you have been abused, you dont have selfconfidence. You dont feel like youre pretty. You dont feel like youre attractive. You dont feel like anyone wants to be around you. You dont feel like youre worth anything. And so its hard, i think, for others to be to understand that, how worthless you feel, and i felt like i needed to fit myself into everyone elses mold of what i thought i should be, and that followed me through adulthood, not feeling like i was good, like i had to make up for good.

But some women just arent buying it. They had something to say. Usually when i get home from work all i want to do is be quiet, because i talk all day at work.

Anne arundel county has replaced its disgrazed county executive john leopold with laura newman, and she, laura newman is the ceo of the Howard CountyEconomic Development authority. Jew eve been talking through that whole talking story. We didnt say a word. Youre the talker. And they ask a lot of questions, too, all the things are questions. Thats exactly right. My favorite story is being out playing golf for five hours withdrew, and my wife will say, hows drew . Hes fine. We dont ask enough questions, dont get enough data. Were so involved. Our live michael son weather cam. Only 4 1. Average is 4. Dew points are still in the teens. Very important. Winds out of the north at 8. The pressure is 30. 34rbgs and now just beginning to fall a little bit. So heres the storm. Still looks pretty impressive, but it is going to do the old d. C. Split. Part of it goes to the upper midwest, and the other goes into the southeast. Eventually that second piece will get us on saturday. Thats going to be in the form of liquid rain. Most of this is rain, kentucky and tennessee. The magenta is the mix. The white is the snow. Pretty good snow through chicago and Northern Illinois and northern indiana. Maybe four inches on the way. We have high clouds, but we are going to be dry through the night. And the good news, were going to be dry through the morning commute. No worries for the morning commute at all, but still cold. A mix develops in the afternoon. The mix could impact the evening commute. I think it may be mainly rain east of i95. Everything looks very light. Theres not a lot of heavy precip coming our way. Pockets of freezing rain are possible on friday night. Do not anticipate any problems on the roadways, though. So overnight increasing cloudiness, not quite as cold, 22 to 30, winds northeasterly at 10. Tomorrow morning a lot of clouds and cold, a late mix is possible south and west of town, maybe toward culpeper, back towards winchester, temperatures in the 20s and 30s, winds eastnortheast at 10. So tomorrow and saturday will be a 9 weather alert yellow, because weve got the mix tomorrow, rain on saturday, temperatures low 40s. All rain on saturday. Then pretty nice on sunday, upper 40s to near 50s, but mostly sunny. Warmer monday, back in the low 50s. Clouds come in monday night. Another cold rain on tuesday, and then on wednesday and thursday we close out the month kind of cold. Upper 30s on thursday with flurries on wednesday and snow showers on thursday.

I think he might have used 40, 50,000 words. My turn, top . I get a couple minutes. Just when you think things may be getting better, the caps do a 10 in the wrong direction. Plus, the nationals are grateful for more than tonight was a first versus worst matchup on the ice. The Washington Capitals taking on the top seated new Jersey Devils in the first of back to back home games for the two teams. Caps fans rocking the red tonight. We pick this up in the second period. Game tied at one. Troy brouwer feeds it in. And then, the rebound ties things up. Then on the power play, Patrick Elias with the assist. Kovalchuk with the slap shot. Devils win. Theres been a lot of mixed reaction regarding the wizards trading Jordan Crawford to boston. Some indifferent about the dizzy, others feel the wizards got very little in return. Was it worth it . Crawford was unhappy in washington. After carrying the offense for the first part of the season as one of the teams leading scorers, crawford saw his playing time decrease by 20 minutes a game over the last two months. But what the wizards got in return some will argue just wasnt worth it. An injured leandro barbosa. Ernie ground field says this deal came came together at the last minute. The team has really started to come together. Our chemistry has been top notch. We wanted to make sure we could continue on that path. All right, over the last seven seasons the Washington Nationals have seen their fan base slowly grow but they definitely gained some hard core fans that have stuck with them through the good and bad and that dont heckl or harass them like some other unfriendly fan bases not too far from here, and for that the nats are grateful. The way of our lifestyle, fans spend their money to come out and play. 80,000 people there. Not the best atmosphere for a fan. I think im more excited and more happy for the fan base in d. C.
