Fifa has released details of its investigation into systematic sexual abuse of female football players in Haiti, saying there were 14 alleged victims of the national federation’s president. The details were included in a newly published verdict that explained why Jean-Bart was banned from football for life in November. They identified 34 “possible victims of sexual abuse and 10 potential perpetrators, including 14 names of potential victims of Mr. Jean-Bart,” the report said. Fifa’s ethics investigators have also opened cases against other Haitian soccer federation officials alleged to have committed or enabled sexual abuse of players. The abuse is said to have happened at the country’s national training center at Croix-des-Bouquets, which Fifa helped fund.
