A civil lawsuit has been filed against a former gymnastics coach in Boerne who is serving a prison term for sexually abusing several young girls at a gym camp.
– Also named as defendants are Spiller’s former employer, Boerne Gymnastics Center, owner Lorna Spellman and USA Gymnastics, the national governing body for gymnastics in the U.S.
The lawsuit claims that Spiller molested and groped the gymnasts at the center in April of 2022. The lawsuit claims the gymnasts were separated from their peers and classmates when the alleged abuse occurred. The lawsuit noted that despite the Larry Nassar scandal that shocked the gymnastics world, “longtime abusers and pedophiles such as Spiller remained in the sport.”
