On Saturday, July 25, approximately 6,500 athletes from 165 nations around the world descended upon Los Angeles, California, for the start of the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games.
For nine days, athletes will compete in various summer sports including aquatics, gymnastics and track and field, among others. The Games will provide a stage for the athletes to display their courage, determination and sportsmanship, while changing forever the perception many have about people with intellectual disabilities.
Saralyn Ann Proschko, 46, of Victoria, and David Ray McGee, 47, of Wallis, Texas, are currently in custody as a result of the charges. McGee is in state custody on related charges and is expected to be transferred to federal authorities and make an initial appearance before a U.S. magistrate judge in Houston in the near future.
