"Mexican authorities said they arrested former player Omar Bravo, 45, on suspicion of child sexual abuse. The Jalisco state prosecutor's office said in a statement that investigations indicate Bravo allegedly abused a teenage girl on several occasions in recent months and may have committed similar acts before. He was arrested during an operation in the municipality of Zapopan and was expected to appear in court soon."
"Bravo rose to fame playing as a forward for Chivas de Guadalajara, where he became the club's all-time leading goal scorer. He also played for Mexico's national team in the 2004 Athens Olympics and the 2006 World Cup in Germany. The Associated Press could not immediately reach a lawyer for Bravo. On Bravo's Instagram account, fans commented on his latest post from Sept. 8, which made no reference to the accusations."
