‘Turned a blind eye’ | FA launches safeguarding investigation after sexual harassment allegations against Premier League boss

The Football Association (FA) has launched a safeguarding inquiry, one year after a BBC investigation revealed allegations of sexual harassment against a Premier League boss.

The initial BBC investigation found that the club boss had been reported by the police by three separate women, but kept his post, with the police taking no action against him.

Now the police have closed their investigation, the FA has launched its own inquiry, as reported by The Athletic.

A spokesperson for the FA told the BBC it would not comment on individual cases, but added it has “robust safeguarding measures in place.”
