The Board of Directors of the Show Jumping Hall of Fame has voted to remove Jimmy Williams as an inductee, after allegations of sexual abuse were made public.
In voting to remove Williams, who was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1989, the Board cited the “Rules for Induction into the Show Jumping Hall of Fame” in the Hall of Fame’s By-Laws that include “integrity” and “character” among the attributes upon which an inductee’s standing should be based.
