Closed petition Change the law on sexual abuse in a position of trust to include sports clubs
Closed on
I was concerned to find that the Sexual Offences Act 2003 doesn't include sports clubs as one of the settings in which the Act’s provisions on ‘abuse of position of trust’ apply. At the moment, the law doesn't protect 16 and 17 year olds from sexual harassment and abuse in sports clubs.
