Mistrial declared in San Jose State athletic trainer trial

SAN JOSE – A mistrial was declared Thursday in the trial of San Jose State’s former head athletic trainer accused of sexually assaulting female athletes during treatment sessions.Scott Shaw, who resigned in 2020 a decade after complaints against him first emerged, hugged his mother when the jury left and the two broke into tears.

“I hope whatever discomfort you felt, that you leave with goodwill toward each other,” she told the jury, “and none of it was personal.”The abrupt ending to the proceedings capped two weeks of testimony where former female athletes broke into tears as they testified how they were “internally freaking out,” “frozen” or had “every alarm” going off when Shaw touched them under their bras and underwear to treat shoulder, back or knee injuries.

The trial also pitted the testimony of two sports medicine doctors against each other. Dr. Cindy Chang, the prosecution expert with an illustrious resume and career as the chief medical officer for the U.S. Women’s Soccer League and more than a decade working with athletic trainers and athletes at UC Berkeley, testified that Shaw’s actions were “completely inappropriate.” Dr.

Lawyers for the U.S. Attorney’s office said that Shaw had known for more than a decade that his behavior was upsetting female athletes but continued to do it, which ultimately led to the federal charges.
