Crime Investigation in Gymnastics
Loosen up, Rudy. Come on, relax. All right? We good?
Then back to work. Come on.
The police quickly arrived at the crime scene.
Gymnastics coach Alexi had been injured with an ice pick.
He was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Benson then went to the hospital to speak with him, but Alexi had no idea what had
happened. Benson asked if he had argued with anyone that day.
He said the gym doorman, Johnny, had interrupted his class that day.
Johnny had disrupted his lesson. He'd also said some strange things.
The police quickly brought Johnny in for questioning.
I don't know who you're talking about.
We see him every day.
You see a lot of people.
Johnny refused to cooperate with the investigation.
The police had to use a special tactic.
They told Johnny that the weapon had been found.
They also said his fingerprints matched those on the weapon.
No, you won't.
Why? 'Cause you were wearing gloves?
His blood is on them, on your boots, too.
Only then did Johnny confess everything to the police.
While cleaning, he saw Alexi behaving inappropriately
toward a student.
He could not tolerate such terrible behavior, so he hid in the garage
and attacked
Alexi. But when the police confronted Alexi about
it...
This janitor said I abused my student.
Johnny Dovchek says that he saw something wrong.
Why would he say that?
Because he's a janitor, an idiot.
Alexi firmly denied Johnny's accusation.
To protect himself from such accusations, Alexi recorded every class.
The police then reviewed all the recordings.
Anybody learn anything?
Yeah, 90 hours of tape, and so far his only crime is boring me to
death.
Look, we talked to a lot of his students, both former and current.
I mean, nobody likes the guy, but nobody called him a predator.
Well, it sounds like we owe the coach an
apology.
The police believed the case was not that simple, so they spoke with Johnny's
mother. They learned that Johnny had been abused at summer camp
as a child.
The experience had left him deeply traumatized, but it was already too late.
Johnny was already in the prison van, heading to prison with a child predator.
Hey, I need help. He's choking him.
It's not my fault. I told them not to put me in with that.
Some pedophile arranged for touching Boy Scouts.
