When Brad Evans resigned from the University of Toledo allegations of sexual misconduct effectively disappeared, allowing him to continue coaching
- ‘It shattered my world’: an Ohio soccer coach, sexual misconduct and the system that has protected him
Lack of transparency and failure by the University of Toledo and the US Center for SafeSport to complete investigations into a sexual assault allegation against women’s soccer coach Brad Evans opened a door for him to continue to coach girls and young women, according to individuals with knowledge of how Evans was hired for subsequent jobs.
As previously revealed by the Guardian, Evans was allowed to resign from his role leading a successful women’s soccer program at the University of Toledo in 2015. At the time the resignation cited an “inappropriate relationship” with a co-worker, even though the university was aware of concerns raised by players and families, including an allegation of sexual assault.
