Former U.S.A. Gymnastics Coach Faces 14 Charges of Lewdness With a Minor

A former coach for U.S.A. Gymnastics was arrested in Las Vegas on Friday and faces more than a dozen counts of lewdness with a minor, the authorities said.

The former coach, Terry Gray, 52, was a gymnastics coach in Las Vegas from 2009 to 2015 and was suspended last year from coaching by U.S.A. Gymnastics, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said.

Mr. Gray “is not permitted any contact with any U.S.A. Gymnastics-sanctioned event, member club, professional member or athlete involved with U.S.A. Gymnastics member clubs or events,” according to an online record of suspended coaches maintained by U.S.A. Gymnastics.

It was not immediately clear what led to the suspension, which lasts until October 2021. It was also not clear when he was a coach for U.S.A. Gymnastics.
