One football player after another enters room 202 of the Viennese court to testify against an ex-coach. The man is suspected of abuse of authority and sexual harassment. The club itself has made the matter public…
“How did his behavior differ from other coaches?” Judge Stefan Apostol wants to know. “There was a lot of personal contact and these awkward touches,” the witnesses’ answers were similar.
“He said I have big breasts for my age!”
“Uncomfortable” is the word that is used especially often in the harassment trial of the former Viennese women’s coach, who is presumed innocent. What the players failed to raise as girls, some of whom were only 14 at the time, they made up for in court.
- “When he passed, he stroked my buttocks,”
- “He said I have big breasts for my age,”
- “He came into the locker room when we were naked, looked in the shower,”
- “He pulled me onto his lap while we were barbecuing,”
- “When massaging, he touched the genital area,” the players said.
Trainer admits only the “bum slappers”.
More witnesses will be questioned in August. So far, the coach has only admitted the “clap”. There were “from time to time when changing”.
