The publicity surrounding this disclosure led to a ‘snowball effect’ of other men coming forward to disclose their experience of being sexually abused while playing in grass-roots and professional football teams. 849 former and current players came forward against 300 suspects, with 340 clubs being implicated and 1,886 incidents reported in the United Kingdom (Operation Hydrant, 2019). Yet these figures remain conservative to the true scale of the abuse, as numerous men will never disclose what they experienced in childhood. These individuals should be acknowledged, despite their voices being absent. This report is part of an on-going doctoral research project being conducted at the University of Oxford’s Centre for Criminology, exploring victims’ experience going through the criminal justice system in the many cases of non-recent child sexual abuse in youth football clubs in the United Kingdom. This research is specifically exploring male victims of sexual abuse, therefore focuses on the particular barriers that prevent men from speaking out. The project uses a range of methods including a victim questionnaire and interviews with victims, victim advocates working closely alongside those who suffered abuse, and a small number of criminal justice professionals working on these cases to contextualise the victims’ experiences in the system. The report draws upon twenty-one interviews and seven questionnaire respondents. Ten interviews were conducted with victims and victim advocates with lived experience1 (one participant had two interviews), six with victim advocates, and five with criminal justice professionals (four police and one from the Crown Prosecution Service). With consideration to two interviewees identifying themselves as having completed both an interview and filling in the questionnaire, a total of fourteen victims and victim advocates with lived experiences’ accounts are considered in this research. The interviews highlight the complexity of each victim’s experience of the criminal justice system, particularly as many of the participants were both complainants and also witnesses to the abuse of other boys. Although the sample size is too small to make any quantitative observations, the characteristics of participants broadly reflect those of the victims who waived their anonymity and have appeared in the media since November 2016. The demographic data from the victim questionnaire reveal the participants to identify as male, white, over forty years old and as coming from a working class or lower middle-class background. This executive summary provides an overview of the key themes in this research, although to understand the vital role of the voices of victims and survivors which led to these findings, it is recommended to review the full report. I. The Context of Child Sexual Abuse in Football Methods of Grooming Each perpetrator in these cases was either a football coach or scout who exploited their position of trust for their own sexual gratification. The abuse occurred in a number of 1 This is in reference to victim advocates who experienced abuse in football, other victim advocates working professionally may have also experienced childhood abuse in another setting but this is not identified in the report. 6 scenarios in these cases, often locker rooms, the perpetrator’s home and car, and even more brazenly in open areas within training facilities. Multiple perpetrators targeted the boys while away at training camps or tournaments abroad. When the young players were taken away from their family home, the coach had ample opportunity to manipulate and abuse players. How abusers garnered trust varied considerably, yet often included targeting a player and lavishing them with gifts and takeaway meals, which was particularly significant to players from poorer families who may not have been able to afford such luxuries. The culture in which the abuse occurred was also important, as perceptions surrounding what a perpetrator would look like or how they would behave were still fairly rigid at this time. The idea of a paedophile was not the charismatic football coach who got on well with parents and was well respected in the community. Stereotypes such as these ensured coaches were trusted implicitly. Sport offered up a dream to many young men, often from working class homes, of a future earning a living from playing a game they loved. The coach or scout is the ultimate gatekeeper into professional football, controlling the entry onto this potential career path. The boys were aware of their position in the club, with many believing they had to withstand the abuse to progress in football. Parents were similarly sold the ‘footballing dream’ for their sons, with many working and lower

    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the study A statistic shows that 1in 10 rape cases is experienced by men according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics in 2013. However, that is only the reported case. The reason behind the least number of reported rape cases happens due to the heavily stigmatized these cases are. The male - on- male rape case is seen as a taboo case and has a negative connotation among heterosexual and homosexual men. Moreover, the victims of rape cases have to deal with the community and service provider's allegations toward the victims’ sexual orientation and the gender of their perpetrators (Deborah, 2014). Melhado (2010) stated that during the civil war in Congo, male refugees that flee to Uganda were reported of getting raped by men and were accused of being weak when they reported the case. Moreover, in Northern Uganda, there have been rape cases happened to men by rebel groups against the government forces. During these conflicts, civilian men have often been attacked, kidnapped, raped, and forced to fight for the rebel groups. Another problem of male- on- male rape cases that make the victims afraid of reporting their cases are because of the Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia 2 myths regarding male victims of rape. Society believes that male should not be vulnerable, always wants sex, are less traumatized than women, and afraid of being called gay (Lynda, et al, 1993). At the beginning of 2020, Reynhard Sinaga to be famous after he did rape and sexual violence in which many victims of Reynhard Sinaga.

It was reported that the rape was the largest rape case in the UK.
