USA Water Polo aware in 2017 of sexual assault allegations against Bahram Hojreh and his club
USA Water Polo aware in 2017 of sexual assault allegations against Bahram Hojreh and his clubBaron’s report is one of four reports obtained by the Orange County Register that were filed with USA Water Polo, the sport’s Irvine-based national governing body, between July 10 and 14, 2017 that outline allegations or allege that players coached by Hojreh repeatedly sexually assaulted young girls from at least five teams during tournaments that summer by grabbing or trying to penetrate their vaginas.
While USA Water Polo officials forwarded reports and complaints to the U.S. Center for SafeSport they did not report the incidents to law enforcement or Child Protective services even though under California law and SafeSport code they are mandated reporters of sexual abuse and the organization’s chief executive only months later would tell a U.S. Senate subcommittee that the NGB’s protocol was to immediately alert law enforcement, according to depositions, emails, letters and sworn declarations obtained by the Register.
