After media reports on allegedly abusive coaches last year, the US Soccer Federation ordered an investigation that uncovered even more allegations.
Yates's investigation detailed the previously reported allegations as well as new ones after more than 200 interviews with current and former players, coaches, owners, and front office staff.
In a statement, Cindy Parlow Cone, president of the US Soccer Federation, said she was"heartbroken" over Yates's findings. "The abuse described in the report is entirely inexcusable and has no place in soccer, on or off the field," she said."Along with everyone at US Soccer, I am squarely focused on the changes we will make to address the report’s findings and make soccer safer for everyone. It will take all of US Soccer’s membership working together to create the kind of change needed to ensure our athletes are safe.
According to the report, then-head coach of Racing Louisville Christy Holly sexually abused player Erin Simon, sending her sexually explicit photos and messages and demanding that she do the same in return. When he requested that they review game footage at his house, he showed her pornography instead and masturbated in front of her, the report said.
