Multiple female athletes accused Scott Shaw of unwanted touching in 2009, but SJSU found no wrongdoing and closed the case in 2010. A new probe into those past claims launched in December.

A top San Jose State University athletic trainer accused of sexual misconduct toward more than a dozen female athletes a decade ago stepped down four months after aScott Shaw, the university’s director of sports medicine since 2008, told members of the athletic department in an Aug. 13 email obtained by USA TODAY that he was retiring. His last day was Aug. 19.

In April, USA TODAY first reported that SJSU began quietly reinvestigating claims that Shaw had allegedly touched female athletes beneath their undergarments, massaging their breasts and pelvic areas when they sought treatment for other parts of their bodies.San Jose State reinvestigates claims athletic trainer inappropriately touched swimmers

No new complaints had been made against Shaw since 2009, San Jose State said in April, but the school reopened the investigation in December after SJSU president Mary Papazian became aware of a nearly 300-page file compiled in 2018 by swimming coach Sage Hopkins, which had been circulating among university, NCAA and Mountain West officials.

Shaw’s resignation means he may avoid discipline if the investigation finds him responsible. The CSU System’s investigation is proceeding anyway. In addition, reporters tracked down two athletes who competed on other San Jose State women’s teams around the time of the original investigation who said they stopped seeing Shaw after similar touching that made them uncomfortable. Both said the university never asked them about Shaw.
