"Vlachovsky had been secretly filming Slovacko players in their changing room for four years. He had also been found to be in possession of content related to child sexual abuse."
"According to Alex Phillips, the secretary general of the global players' union, Fifpro, this case is the tip of the iceberg but the majority of people don't speak up."
"I couldn't believe it had been going on for such a long time, Janku says. He was our coach for a long time, we had a good relationship with him, he was a person you could trust."
"Last May, Vlachovsky received a one-year suspended sentence, a fine and a five-year ban from all football-related activity in the Czech Republic."
Petr Vlachovsky, a former coach at FC Slovacko, was arrested for secretly filming players in their changing room and possessing child sexual abuse content. Kristyna Janku, a player, was shocked to learn the truth after being called to the police station. Alex Phillips from Fifpro noted that this case reflects a larger issue where many players do not report abuse due to distrust in the system. Vlachovsky received a one-year suspended sentence and a five-year ban from football, but the Czech FA has not yet taken action against him.
