McGowan, Hood, Felder & Phillips, LLC Has Filed Multiple Lawsuits Against Predatory Coach Mark Cockerell, a Local Skating Rink, and the U.S. Figure Skating Association

We represent victims nationwide by use of local counsel in any jurisdiction

McGowan, Hood, Felder & Phillips, LLC has already filed multiple lawsuits alleging former Olympian-turned-ice skating coach Mark Cockerell sexually and emotionally abused his figure skating students. We have filed these lawsuits in federal court against Cockerell, a skating rink facility in Irmo, SC, and the U.S. Figure Skating Association, a national governing body of the sport.

We believe there are more victims of Cockerell throughout the United States. McGowan, Hood, Felder & Phillips, LLC wants to help. Call today: 803-327-7800

McGowan, Hood, Felder & Phillips Files Federal Sexual Misconduct Lawsuit, Names National Figure Skating Governing Body

We know Cockerell has coached at rinks in:

  • Colorado Springs, CO,
  • Bakersfield, CA,
  • Quad Cities, IA,
  • Wooster, OH,
  • Knoxville, TN,
  • Clearwater, Fl, and
  • Irmo, SC.

Our clients are fighting back against abusive coaches and the organizations that allow them to continue to perpetuate harm against minor aged athletes. Our lawsuits against Cockerell and others, filed in federal court in South Carolina, allege that Cockerell committed acts of unwanted touching, emotional abuse and sexual misconduct, including:

  • Rape
  • Exploitation
  • Emotional Abuse
  • Grooming
  • Inappropriate touching

All but one of our clients were minors at the time of this abuse. This predatory coach worked at skating rinks across the country, and we don’t believe all victims have come forward.
