A Premier League footballer has been additionally addressed by police and stays being scrutinized for supposedly assaulting three ladies and physically attacking a fourth, the BBC can uncover.
This comes a year on from a BBC News investigation, which addressed five ladies who blamed the Premier League player for assault, rape or controlling way of behaving.
Regardless of four ladies announcing the man, who we are calling Player X, to the police for supposed sexual offenses from 2021 to 2023, he has kept on playing for the club.
One lady told the BBC the absence of activity from the club and administering body the Football Association added to her endeavoring to end her own life.
"I would have rather not existed in reality as we know it where I'm continually reminded that assault charges can be overlooked for however long you're not kidding," she made sense of.
Another lady said they accept on the off chance that Player X had been suspended after the main claim she could not have possibly proceeded to be physically attacked.
The football bodies say they view sexual unfortunate behavior extremely in a serious way.
The BBC has affirmed that the footballer went to a police headquarters on Thursday 7 November and was consulted under alert - this was whenever he first was examined regarding a claim of assault revealed last year by a fourth lady.
It has been two and half years since Player X was first captured on doubt of assault in July 2022, following a report from one lady. In no time a while later he was likewise captured for a prior charge of assault from a subsequent lady, who revealed him to the police in August 2021.
Player X was addressed by police in February 2023 about claims of rape made by a third lady.
Security rules in regards to the distinguishing proof of suspects implies the BBC isn't naming the footballer. The player has denied bad behavior, the BBC comprehends.
One of the ladies, who we are calling Kira, first detailed Player X to the police in August 2021 and has communicated finding the crook cycle very demanding, as she keeps on sitting tight for the result of the police examination.
"This investigation, my main opportunity at equity, has depleted me actually and intellectually… the more drawn out this examination delays, the more my confidence in the framework blurs," she told the BBC.
The BBC examination from last November found seven out of 20 Premier League clubs have had players or supervisors explored by the police for sexual offenses beginning around 2020.
Notwithstanding, the bodies just have guidelines on the most proficient method to answer charges of this nature in the event that they happen inside "a football climate", or on the other hand assuming worries connect with youngsters or weak grown-ups. Consequently, they say the charges against Player X don't fall under their defending prerequisites.
This differences with the methodology in the US, where the National Football League (NFL) and Significant Association Baseball (MLB) have openly accessible strategies for players, or staff, who have been blamed for sexual or abusive behavior at home.
The ladies told the BBC last November that the club, FA and Premier league are focusing on business intrigues over the security of ladies.
The big name status of top footballers has prompted calls for players who become entangled in criminal charges to be suspended until it has been completely examined.
Woman Caroline Dineage, director of the Way of life, Media and Game Board of trustees, told the BBC last year that footballers' public good example position implies it is urgent any sexual maltreatment claims are dealt with fittingly.
"As a component of the new controller's job setting permitting conditions, we need to see it have the abilities to berate clubs for their methodology and absence of progress with regards to working on each part of uniformity, variety and incorporation," she added.
The Division for Culture, Media and Game let the BBC know that as there is a continuous examination this is a matter for the police, the FA and Head Association.
What was the FA's reaction?
After first going to the police in August 2021, Kira messaged the FA, Premier League and the club about her charges the next month "in distress", as she was stressed over him proceeding to play on such a major stage while he was being explored.
The club told her it couldn't talk about her charges for lawful reasons. The Head Association guided her to the FA.
Over four months in the wake of reaching the FA about her claims, it let her in messages know that it could take "no further activity" as the supposed way of behaving didn't penetrate its guidelines.
It expressed there was "no proof" to recommend that Player X "represents a gamble of damage to youngsters or grown-ups in danger". It sent her a PDF report that was named "Football's Protecting Youngsters strategy" - which didn't concern her.
"They were taking cover behind their absence of strategies while realizing that the guidelines they had set up were intended to safeguard benefits, not casualties," says Kira.
In July 2024, Kira again moved toward the club, Premier League and FA - sending them proof that she was a "weak grown-up".
In an email, seen by the BBC, the club told her they had passed her correspondence onto the Head Association and the FA. The Premier League told her it couldn't examine claims presently under police investigation. Also, the FA, told her it couldn't share any subtleties or updates in regards to on the off chance that any FA mediations have been taken.
"Further, we allude to our email… where we made sense of we are not the business of the individual," it added.
Talking about the reaction Kira told the BBC their correspondence has "built up an overwhelming message that I don't make any difference, that more ladies approaching doesn't make any difference, and that in any event, when I meet defending prerequisites, it won't ever make any difference".
Another lady - Mia - says she accepts in the event that the FA and club had acted when they were first made aware of an assault charge in 2021, she could never have later gone to the place of Player X where she claims he physically attacked her.
"Assuming they had chosen to view the principal claim in a serious way… in the event that they had suspended him, I could never have been in that situation that I was in that day," she told the BBC.
"Their choice made me endure," she said.
While the FA has definite strategies set up for players blamed for wagering on the game, there is nothing comparative for players blamed for sexual or aggressive behavior at home that happens past the football climate.
Clubs' reactions to players and driving figures under police examination for such offenses are shifted - with some picking to suspend, and others not.
A few attorneys in the UK have noticed the numerous legitimate hardships confronting football clubs while thinking about how to manage a player confronting claims of sexual or abusive behavior at home, without general standards set up.
This month, Benjamin Mendy effectively sued Manchester City over his neglected wages during his suspension, after he was accused of assault and rape in 2021 and later tracked down not liable all in all.
A representative for the Met said: "Met officials are investigating following various reports of supposed sexual offenses somewhere in the range of 2021 and 2023.
"A man in his 30s was captured in July 2022. He has since been consulted by police on two further events while under alert.
"The examination stays continuous and analysts are going on with inside and out and nitty gritty enquiries. The people who have approached to police keep on getting support from Met officials."
The footballer's club and the Premier League let us know they couldn't remark on a continuous police investigation.
A representative for the FA added: "Our defending strategies and techniques permit us to help and safeguard kids and grown-ups in danger inside a football-related climate."
"Despite where the occurrence occurred, in the event that the individual plays a part inside football, we generally complete a careful shielding risk evaluation and make the fitting move assuming that we accept there is a gamble of mischief to kids. We can't remark on unambiguous cases, however that doesn't imply that we haven't made the expected move or applied proper protections inside our ward."
