ABSTRACT
One common assumption about sexual exploitation is that it is personally perpetrated and personally experienced behaviour. However, this view is both simplistic and detracts from other, important aspects of the multifaceted phenomenon that constitutes sexual exploitation. Sport is a practice embedded in social and cultural systems (Gruneau 1999) (see Chapter 5) and so there are multiple stakeholders in any sexually exploitative situation (see Figure 4.1). These include not just the athlete and her coach but also sport organisations, the police, child protection and legal agencies, other coaches, peers athletes, siblings and parents. All may contribute to the instigation, continuation or termination of sexually transgressive behaviour in sport and all bear some shared responsibility for this. Chapters 6 and 7 describe how sexual exploitation in sport derives from the co-occurrence of a number of different factors/processes including situational opportunity in sport, vulnerability and susceptibility of the athlete, and inclination and motivation of the coach.
