US sex-abuse watchdog fires investigator after learning of his arrest for stealing drug money
Associated PressDENVER — The U.S. Center for SafeSport abruptly fired one of its investigators last month after learning he’d been arrested for stealing money confiscated after a drug bust he was part of during his previous job as a police officer. Among Krasley’s cases was one with Sean McDowell, who had filed a report to the center accusing a member of his Seattle-based recreational rugby club of stalking and harassment. Around then, McDowell got a terse email from the center’s assistant director of investigations, Daniel Kast, who said he was “writing to advise you that Jason Krasley is no longer employed” by the center, and that a new investigator would be assigned. Accuser questions if center is taking his case ‘seriously’ Since Krasley’s dismissal, McDowell, the rugby player, has had his case reassigned to a new investigator who he said “has been good” so far. “Then, every time I read a new story about them, I keep thinking, ‘The actions from SafeSport don’t align with any of this.’” ___ This story has been corrected to show the center was receiving approximately 155 reports per week, not per month.
