A case against a high-profile Premier League executive involving alleged sexual abuse of a teenager has been dropped. She was suing him for aggravated damages but according to the Telegraph, the case will not go ahead. The Premier League executive had been accused of raping the woman at his home. He was due to face a civil case on the claim that he 'committed trespass to the claimant's person (assault and battery) and intentionally inflicted injury'. Now the civil case has been dropped and the Football Association released a statement about their safeguarding procedures.
