No meds on earth will rescue gmyers from his current disposition. If that man seduced my 17 year old daughter, they wouldn't find even a single drop of his blood. He was preparing her ultimately for the olympics. Her partner is still carrying a torch for her. He was what maybe 36 at the time, old enough to be her father and wise enough to know that the consequences could be severe. He must have known that Nikita would eventually walk away. He is low down dirty scum. Now unless he has a life changing experience he should not be allowed to coach anyone in my book. Anyone. Think about it what girl who thinks highly of herself would do such a thing, obviously something is out of whack with how she sees things with regard to romantic relationships. She was 17 people, think about that the next time you look at your teenager, tell me it could never happen to your daughter.
What skeeves me out about him and Elena is that he was in a position of power over her, not the age difference. Because in Russia, it was legal.
The age difference creeps me out but not as much as the amount of power he held over her and Nikita and their careers. He could've ruined her entire career.
17 year olds is past legal age for sex in Russia. If their was rape there'd be problem. What's the power? Programs? If he was demanding sex from Elena for things she wanted in the programs that's just rape.
