Life outside of sport As a diver at the youth level, during his time at Boardworks Diving, Wegadesk was the subject of sexual abuse at the hands of his coach. His coach, Trevor Palmatier, was arrested in 2013 on sex-related charges after one of his athletes came forward. It is alleged by Saanich police that sexual contact happened between the years 2004-06. Throughout his time as a competitive diver, he dealt with other personal issues that eventually lead to his retirement from the sport before his goal of the Beijing Olympics.
