Meleana “Mana” Shim and Sinead Farrelly spoke about sexual misconduct allegations involving their former coach, saying he was 'a predator' who took away their careers.
Shim, 30, and Farrelly, 31, spoke on TODAY Tuesday alongside U.S. women's national team star Alex Morgan, who has been by the pair's side as they made their accusations public.
“The first time that she felt coerced, that’s the word that she uses — they went into a room together, and something happened in that room,” Linehan said. “And then it happened again. Two more times.” “There is a lot of loss that comes with that, and things I will not get back. It’s bigger than the sport,” she said. “This is about safety in our own lives and our bodies, and the players deserve that, we all deserve that.”“This isn’t something that just goes away overnight because we talk about it,” Shim said.
Riley was investigated in 2015 while he was the head coach of the Portland Thorns FC after Shim emailed the team's owner and top officials about incidents of alleged sexual coercion, according to The Athletic.
