Anyone who sends their child to a sports club wants them to have fun there, and perhaps also want their son or daughter to move more, be happy about success and learn to fit into a team. No mother and no father wants their child to experience sexual abuse in a club. But this happens again and again, with fatal, often decades-long consequences for those affected. A study by the “Independent Commission for the Study of Child Sexual Abuse” has now revealed why sport is systemically susceptible to this.
