FIFA bans Haiti women's football official in sexual abuse case

The Hindu  

A football official in Haiti was banned for 10 years on Monday for her part in the systematic sexual abuse of women’s national team players. FIFA ethics judges ruled Nella Joseph, former supervisor of the Haiti Under-20 women’s team, was guilty of “actively coercing and threatening into engaging in sexual relationships” with the then-president of the Haitian Football Association. A FIFA judgment in Jean-Bart’s case said he raped girls as young as 14 and took “habitual mistresses” among players starting in 2014. Joseph “failed to protect the physical and mental integrity of various female players who were under her authority and responsibility” at the national training center in Haiti, FIFA said in a statement.
