I would suggest contacting support for the game to report this.

There are lots of folks who do that. I have seen gyms go up and down while I sat there with absolutely no one anywhere near to them. Yeah, I do report their trainer names but they usually come back or find other places to teleport to. I think there are just too many for Niantic to deal with.

I have found something that helps stop them, or lets them know we know. I caught a 63 CP Butterfree and nicknamed it “Spoof This”. When I see a gym being fought with no one around, I take it down and put the Butterfree in. It usually stays up until someone who is actually there, takes it out. I know, not a great solution but about all we can do.
