"Byrne's conduct is the nightmare of every parent who entrusts their child to a coach." U.S. Attorney Damian Williams underscored the betrayal of trust felt by families.
The case revealed Byrne's manipulation of young athletes, with his abuse starting as early as 14 and exploiting the trust he built while posing as a police officer.
In addition to a nearly 19-year prison sentence, Byrne was sentenced to a lifetime of supervised release, emphasizing the severity of his crimes.
The investigation into Byrne's conduct, a collaborative effort from various law enforcement agencies, remains ongoing, suggesting that more victims may still be uncovered.
