French / American Gymnastics coach Eric Harrison was sentenced to 2 years in prison with 1 year suspended.

Harrison edited the website Gymnet.org, now gone from the internet. We’ve deleted all links to Gymnet.org from this site, as well.
I want to thank a member of the former Gymnet forum for alerting us to this criminal.
