Guy Monseair was let go by Cape Cod Rowing Inc. in 2009 after he led a group of girls on a rowing trip to South Africa, said Peter Smith, who was president of the club at the time. Smith said Monseair admitted he had supplied the teenage rowers with alcohol and had them sit on his lap while he was driving.

Rowers also shared stories with their parents about incidents during the trip that were more sexual in nature, Smith said. He declined to share those details, saying he wanted to protect victims' privacy. But he said a group of parents was concerned enough about the content of the stories that they contacted police.

The new charges against Monseair, announced last week, involve allegations dating back to incidents in 2007, 2008, and 2009, according to court and police records. The Cape Cod Rowing club competes at Wequaquet Lake in Centerville.

The earlier investigation raises questions about how youth sports organizations respond to misconduct allegations and whether concerns raised by parents and athletes are adequately addressed by authorities. Smith's account suggests that club officials acted to remove Monseair in 2009, but it is unclear what, if any, action police took at the time.

Monseair's current legal status and the specific charges he faces were not immediately available. The Barnstable Police Department, which provided a booking photograph of Monseair, did not respond to a request for comment.

Cape Cod Rowing Inc. could not be reached for comment. Current club officials have not publicly addressed the new charges or the 2009 allegations.

The case underscores the importance of vigilance in youth sports and the need for clear reporting mechanisms when concerns arise. Parents and athletes who have information about misconduct are encouraged to contact local law enforcement.
