There are some updates in a case I wrote about in December, in which an athletic trainer in Montana named James Jensen is said to have abused and molester dozens of boys throughout the 80s and 90s

Jensen called his molestation at his home "The Program." Following a parent complaint, school officials told him, according to a document I first revealed, to end his "Mentoring Programs" (their caps) & stop having kids over to his house

Victims' lawyers say an ex-school official admitted they were told Jensen was touching a student in an inappropriate place, but the school's lawyer says they didn't know it was sexual, and was just that he was giving massages billingsgazette.com/news/state-and… 
The school is saying that no administrator was told of anything sexual.
But in my deep dive, one man said he told a specific coach about the abuse in the 80s. (The coach denied that, then called me a "queer" on the phone)

Another man said he told a diff coach in the 90s that what was going on at the Jensen's house (where the abuse took place) was "fucked up." This man didn't elaborate nor say there was abuse, but he says the coach didn't inquire further either (That coach also denied this to me)
So the district now says no one working there was told about sexual abuse by the athletic trainer, James Jensen; just that he gave massages and people were uneasy about him.
It also says they wouldn't have had to report any of this anyway

Jensen now intends to plead guilty to federal charges stemming from this abuse, and says he applied his "Program" to "Hundreds of children" nbcmontana.com/news/local/for…
