The Czech player union has called for a lifetime ban for a coach who avoided jail despite being convicted of secretly filming his female players in the changing rooms and showers. Petr Vlachovsky used a hidden camera to film 14 players at FC Slovacko. https://t.co/OlJ0SI3BNe
A suspended prison sentence with only a domestic coaching ban is simply not enough.
Players at 1. FC Slovacko – a top-division women’s club in Czechia – were secretly filmed in their changing room for four years by their coach.
Petr Vlachovsky has avoided prison and been banned from coaching in Czechia, but as things stand, he could legally continue coaching abroad.
The players are speaking out.
With support from their union @CAFHcz, players are pushing for a lifetime football ban and stronger protections so abusive coaches cannot simply move country and continue working in the game.
Non-contact sexual abuse is still abuse, and players must be protected.
