Jury deliberating on former Brookfield gymnastics coach's child rape case

Posted: 25 May 2010 05:33 PM PDT

Closing arguments were heard in a Woburn, Mass., courtroom Tuesday in the child rape case of Steve Infante, a former Brookfield gymnastics coach.

Infante, 54, formerly of New Milford, is facing three counts of statutory rape of a child and two counts of indecent assault and battery on a person over 14 in Middlesex Superior Court.

According to police documents, one of the alleged victims, a Massachusetts woman now 34 years old, told police she was 14 in 1991 when Infante began sexually assaulting her.

The other alleged victim is a woman from Connecticut who said she was 16 when Infante allegedly made sexual advances toward her, according to official documents.

The alleged assaults were not reported until 2007, when a multistate investigation began.

The jury trial in Woburn began nearly three weeks ago. Jurors began deliberating Tuesday, according to the court clerk.

In 1998, Infante was banned for life from coaching by USA Gymnastics, the sport's national governing board, after sexual misconduct claims surfaced from three former gymnasts he taught at Olympic Sports Academy in Brookfield, which he owned. He lived in New Milford then, moved to Massachusetts, returned to Connecticut, and now lives in Milford.

According to officials, because all those girls were 16 when the relationships allegedly began, no criminal charges were brought against Infante.

Attempts to reach Infante's attorney, Kenneth Mello, have been unsuccessful.

Middlesex County District Attorney Thomas O'Reilly's office said he would not discuss a case now in trial.
