Douglas Dale Northway (born April 28, 1955) is an American former swimmer, who represented the United States at two consecutive Olympic Games.

Olympics

He did not receive a medal for his 1976 relay effort, however, because only relay swimmers who competed in the event final were medal-eligible under the rules then in effect.

Convictions

Plead Guilty to "attempted child molestation" in April 1997, "Doug Northway, 42, was charged in January with two counts of child molestation for allegedly molesting the girl in the summer of 1995. Those charges were dropped after he pleaded guilty in April to attempting to molest the girl, court records show."[2]
