Last month, the U.S. Center for SafeSport terminated one of its investigators after discovering he had been arrested for stealing money confiscated during a drug bust in his previous role as a police officer. The investigator, Jason Krasley, had left his position with the Allentown Police Department in Pennsylvania in 2021 and was subsequently hired by the Denver-based SafeSport center to handle sensitive cases involving sex abuse and harassment.
One of Krasley's cases involved Sean McDowell, who reported an incident of stalking and harassment within his Seattle-based recreational rugby club. McDowell expressed frustration with the center's delayed response in assigning an investigator to his case, which took approximately eight weeks. Krasley was initially assigned to the case but was later dismissed by the center, prompting concerns about the handling of ongoing investigations.
