Bob Hewitt
Encyclopedia
Robert "Bob" Anthony John Hewitt (born 12 January 1940 in Dubbo, New South Wales
) is a former professional male tennis
player from Australia
. After he married Dalaille, a young woman from Johannesburg
, South Africa
he became an South African citizen.
Hewitt's most significant accomplishments were winning all of the Grand Slam doubles titles, both the Men's Doubles Grand Slam titles as well as the Mixed Doubles Grand Slam titles (U.S. Open, Wimbledon, Australian Open, French Open) and being central to South Africa's only Davis Cup
title in 1974. That victory was a little controversial though with India boycotting the final because the team on the orders of its government refused to play the final in South Africa due to its Apartheid policies which were affecting the ethnic Indian community of the country.
Hewitt had seven titles in singles, along with 65 in doubles. His career prize money amounted to more than a million dollars. In 1992 he was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame
.
The investigation was prompted by the revelations of former student Heather Crowe Conner in March 2011, who initially avoided naming Hewitt,
although the information disclosed was enough to lead others to identify him.
She and the other women claimed that, beginning in the 1970s, Hewitt sexually abused
or harassed
them when they were as young as ten years old. Interviews with contemporaries, in the United States and South Africa, indicated that there had been rumors about misconduct by Hewitt at the time of the alleged events. The South African Tennis Union investigated after 1992 and declined to employ him, but no legal action was ever taken against him. Hewitt has declined to comment on the reports.
The International Tennis Hall of Fame has formed a committee to review the sexual abuse allegations along with requests for his removal from the Hall. The Boston Globe's investigation and report of multiple victims has prompted the request and was followed up by a letter signed by 5 of his alleged victims asking for his removal from the Hall of Fame. To date no action has been taken.

Allegations of sexual abuse and harassment
In 2011, a six-month investigation by the Boston Globe disclosed allegations from several adult women who were coached as girls by Hewitt.The investigation was prompted by the revelations of former student Heather Crowe Conner in March 2011, who initially avoided naming Hewitt,
although the information disclosed was enough to lead others to identify him.
She and the other women claimed that, beginning in the 1970s, Hewitt sexually abused

them when they were as young as ten years old. Interviews with contemporaries, in the United States and South Africa, indicated that there had been rumors about misconduct by Hewitt at the time of the alleged events. The South African Tennis Union investigated after 1992 and declined to employ him, but no legal action was ever taken against him. Hewitt has declined to comment on the reports.
The International Tennis Hall of Fame has formed a committee to review the sexual abuse allegations along with requests for his removal from the Hall. The Boston Globe's investigation and report of multiple victims has prompted the request and was followed up by a letter signed by 5 of his alleged victims asking for his removal from the Hall of Fame. To date no action has been taken.
