The swimmer represented Australia in the 1980s Barcelona Olympics. He ruled the people’s hearts and was popular for his contribution to the sports sector.

Now, after months of silence, his friend swimmer Lisa curry has opened up and talked about what he went through during his career. She claims that he was sexually abused by his coach John Wright in his childhood- specifically when he was 11, 12, 13 years old.

He tried to complain about his childhood trauma and suffering before his death but his story was unheard of which discouraged him.

In 2016, he complained to Swimming Australia about his former coach, Wright. He told them that he sexually assaulted him at Brisbane’s Chandler pool in the 1980s when he was in his teenage.

Now, after his death, his friend Lisa does not wish to see any other children going through the same trauma and grow up in such an environment. Thus, she decided to talk about Shane’s suffering and let other children know his experience mean something.

He was the eldest kid among the six children of Sue. He always seemed fine so they never thought about something like that happening to him.

Besides, he was not the only victim of John. Other two former swimmers told the ABC that Wright molested them around the same time Lewis was molested- at the same Brisbane pool.
