New reports of alleged sexual misconduct have come to light in the wake of an investigation uncovering systemic emotional abuse and sexual misconduct in the National Women’s Soccer League, U.S. Soccer Federation president Cindy Parlow Cone told CNN Friday.
Parlow Cone shared in separate interviews with New Day anchor Brianna Keilar and World Sport host Amanda Davies that at least three new cases have been reported to the USSF since the results of the probe were released on Monday. Parlow Cone disclosed that the cases have been forwarded to the U.S. Center for SafeSport, a Congress-backed organization focused on preventing sexual, emotional and physical abuse in Olympic and Paralympic sports, and other authorities, but did not divulge any additional details during either interview.
“One of the great things to come out of this report is that it is encouraging more people to come forward,” Parlow Cone said before sharing her hope for next steps.
