TA reported that a senior British police official pointed out in an internal review report that there was a "missed opportunity" in an investigation into the sexual assault allegation of a well-known figure in a Premier League club who was accused of sexual assault, including rape of a minor.

The police officer believed that the suspect "should have been arrested and searched his residence" for evidence, especially if the victim believed he was videotaped, but the police only invited him to be inquired. Although police have investigated him over the years about complaints from multiple women, all cases ended up taking no further action due to insufficient evidence.

A victim who claimed to have been raped at the age of 15 applied for a case review, but ultimately maintained the decision not to prosecute. The review report stressed that this decision “does not mean that the victims are not trusted, but rather that the evidence standard for continuing the lawsuit is not met.”

The FA's safeguards department has learned about the allegations and has started its own investigation since November last year, but has not issued a temporary suspension order to the character, and he is still working normally.
