Kirk Shipley faces up to 20 years in prison and must register as a sex offender for his abuse of two girls who rowed for the Bethesda, Md., high school team.
Shipley, 48, was charged in August with abusing two former rowers at the Bethesda, Md., public high school, where he coached and taught social studies for two decades. The nature of the charges stunned the affluent rowing community where he’d long been a fixture.On Friday, after months of negotiations and delays, Shipley appeared virtually before a D.C. judge and acknowledged he was guilty of first-degree abuse of a high school student and possession of a sexual performance by a minor.
Raffinan then said she would find Shipley guilty based on his plea. By accepting the deal, he waived his right to a trial. A three-time All-Met Coach of the Year, Shipley had led Whitman’s club crew team for almost 20 years, winning regattas and sending girls on to Ivy League colleges. He earned $101,656 from Montgomery County for teaching and another $34,500 from the parent-funded and parent-run crew program.
“Our clients are glad that ... Shipley accepted responsibility for the abuse he inflicted,” he said. “And we will be spending the next few months preparing for the sentencing phase.”
