'I was actually molested': Olympian Maddie Groves says she was abused as a teenage swimmer

"I don't think I really want to report it to police. It's obviously a huge process emotionally and it takes such a long time … and then it doesn't necessarily end up working out that well.

Groves said her "misogynistic perverts" tweet was the culmination of years of frustration and disappointment dating back to when she started competitive swimming at the age of 12. "I tried to sort of work with the organisation in good faith that they were trying to do the right thing and maybe trying to help me, and they disappointed me repeatedly," she said.
