US Soccer has confirmed it has suspended the coaching license of Brad Evans following a Guardian investigation into alleged sexual misconduct by the former University of Toledo women’s coach
The three-month investigation by Matthew Hall into Evans’ alleged misconduct published Wednesday morning relied on interviews with former players, coaches, University of Toledo staff, and families of former students to reveal for the first time the circumstances behind the coach’s abrupt departure from the Ohio university, how the school managed reports about his behavior, and how he was still allowed to hold prominent positions within the game in the United States.
One of the former players and coaches to be interviewed was Candice Fabry, who recalled an 2007 incident when she was assaulted by Evans in a restaurant bathroom when meeting with the coach, his wife and another member of the coaching staff to accept a role as an unpaid assistant coach.
