Barcelona soccer coach arrested for alleged abuse of three players

The Mossos d'Esquadra have arrested a 33-year-old coach from the Unió Esportiva (U.E) de Sants de Barcelona, ​​accused of sexually abusing three young people aged 16, 17 and 18.

The three players went to a Catalan police station on Monday to file a joint complaint against their coach for touching or kissing without consent, although they also denounced an approach through social networks "that bothered them", according to 'El Periódico' '.

The investigation remains open, since the investigators do not rule out that there are more victims of the same individual. The sports club has provisionally suspended the coach's salary and employment and states that it rejects any type of abuse, showing its support for the victims.

Likewise, he has stressed that he has initiated the club's internal protocol, through the Vicki Bernadet Foundation, and that he has communicated the facts to the families of the women's teams, and to those managed by this coach.
