George Gibney fled to the United States after being told he faced 27 abuse charges RTENewly released files about the United States’ refusal to grant citizenship to the former Irish Olympic swimming coach George Gibney will lead to political pressure to deport the alleged child rapist, an investigative journalist claims. Irvin Muchnick, a journalist based in San Francisco, made the comments after settling a Freedom of Information case with the Department of Homeland Security. Mr Gibney avoided trial after he was charged in Ireland in 1993 with sexually assaulting and raping 27 young swimmers in his care. He fled to the United States. Mr Muchnick was seeking to obtain his immigration file.
