Yale Women’s Soccer Coach Leaves School Amid Allegations of Sexual Misconduct
The head coach of the Yale women’s soccer team left the university this week after sexual misconduct allegations surfaced from when he coached at a nearby college in Connecticut a decade ago.
It was the second time in a year that the team’s head coach had left because of a scandal. The previous job holder was ensnared in the Justice Department’s sweeping Varsity Blues investigation into college admissions bribery.
As of Wednesday, the head coach, Brendan Faherty, was no longer employed by the university, Yale officials said in an email on Thursday confirming that his departure was prompted by a report in the student newspaper on his tenure at the University of New Haven.
The Yale Daily News reported that a former student athlete said that Mr. Faherty had demanded that she sleep in his bed and that he groped her breasts in 2009.
