"For nearly two-and-a-half decades, former wrestling coach Terry Gillard used his position as a trusted community member to draw poor and struggling students into wrestling for his teams in San Fernando and Sun Valley."
"Once they were in his thrall, joining what he called his inner circle of wrestlers, prosecutors said, Gillard would manipulate his teenage victims into depraved sexual encounters with himself and other students.
To keep them in line, Gillard demanded loyalty, deriding other students as “snitches” who weren’t worthy of his attention, according to the victims and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office."
"On Tuesday, in an emotional court hearing attended by some of those same victims and their families, Gillard was sentenced to 71 years in state prison for dozens of sex crimes involving nine children, some who were preteens at the time their coach abused them."
