An independent investigation into allegations of misconduct in US women's soccer found "systemic" abuse and sexual misconduct, the report released Monday found.
The probe by former US Attorney General Sally Yates and the King & Spalding law firm uncovered verbal and emotional abuse and sexual misconduct, including a pattern of "sexually charged comments, unwanted sexual advances and touching and coercive sexual intercourse."
