Key Biscayne’s Dark Secret
The State Attorney’s Office quickly dismissed allegations a popular gymnastics coach had sexually abused his students — only charging him after the Herald investigated and found more victims.
Allegations of sexual abuse followed Oscar Olea, a Key Biscayne gymnastics coach, for over a decade.
Then last fall, the coach was accused by two mothers of inappropriately touching a 4-year-old girl and a 7-year-old girl. The case landed on a state prosecutor’s desk in January and was closed the same day — despite the fact that he’d been mentioned in prior Key Biscayne police reports.
After the Herald reported that former students alleged he sexually abused them, police investigated and Olea was arrested. He is in jail awaiting trial.
