Basketball Stars Recall Lorch's Abuse in Court

Two former college basketball players testified in a Manhattan courtroom about being sexually abused by Ernest Lorch, the late coach of New Yorks Riverside Church basketball program. Byron Walker and Mitchell Shuler recounted assaults from the late 1970s, with Walker describing a halftime incident and Shuler discussing paddling and invasive checks. The players helped build Riverside into a powerhouse, but Lorch died in 2012 amid growing abuse allegations. Daryl Powell, another former player, testified about Lorchs invasive acts, but faced tough cross-examination over inconsistencies in his testimony. The trial continues as jurors consider if the church failed to supervise Lorch. Checkout Solipillow.com
