Sex scandal rocks Thun (Switzerland) football club

[Grisu]

Swiss first-division side FC Thun has been hit by a scandal with 12 current or former players detained on Tuesday on suspicion of having sex with a 15-year-old girl.

Sexual abuse in sport is a recurring problem, according to experts. There have been several cases of youth football trainers found guilty and similar problems in other sports such as ice hockey, athletics and swimming.

The police, who began their investigations in September, took nine other men into custody.

All those detained have been accused of having sexual relations with the underage girl who was one of the club's fans. The age of consent in Switzerland is 16.

Sexual relations seem to have occurred on more than one occasion, police said in a statement, adding that the encounters appeared to have been mostly consensual. But it is illegal under Swiss law to have sex with a minor if the age difference is greater than three years.

In a statement, management of FC Thun said they were shocked and concerned by the case.

Despite the suspicion hanging over the club, president Kurt Weder said on Swiss public radio that the team would go ahead with all its scheduled training and games. However Tuesday afternoon's training session was cancelled after the news broke.

Asked to comment on the players implicated in this scandal, Weder said the men were innocent until proven guilty and that one should await the results of the investigation.

Thun's main sponsor said that it would also wait for the outcome of the case before deciding what to do. The Frutiger construction company has a one-year contract with the club.

The investigating judge's office said later on Tuesday that criminal proceedings would be instituted against most of the men arrested, who were all released after being questioned.

"[...] 12 current or former players detained on Tuesday on suspicion of having sex with a [...] girl."


Disregarding the age gap... You mean with the SAME girl????

 

[Grisu]

yep, same girl.

 

[RedRalph]

IF proved to be true, this is pretty appalling

 

[Rambuchan]

She must have been from Essex.

 

[Pannonius]

This girl is unbelieveable!!! And now we all have to be appauled 'cause she had sex with the entire football team? Yes, what they did is apparently a crime in CH, but I have to say that this girl is a megaslut! Gangbanging with a football team and only 15 years old!? What she will do at 20? I can't even imagine, and I have quite an imagination.

 

[Rambuchan]

In England, when a girl is found to have been with two footballers at the same time, we tend to call it "a spit roasting".

I guess this story is a case of a...

"Swiss fondue".

Ba-dum tsshh

What the hell happened to romance?

Why would any man wanna go where 11 others have already 'been'?

How desperate for sex are these people? these are athletes, apparently sort of famous too. Youre telling me these guys couldn't go out and get someone grown up to sleep with them? Jeezuz!

yeah, I've been wondering about that myself. If we assume for the sake of the argument that everything was consensual, I just can't see how these guys can be so stupid. Sure, they're not players of ManU or something, but surely picking up legal girls can't be too hard for them, even if they're only after a quick shag....Why risk prison?

 

[Pannonius]

Maybe she was a jail bait they couldn't resist?

why do you seem to be so eager to put all the blame squarly on the girl? I mean, sure, she's probably not the innocent girl next door, but it still takes two (or 13 in this case ) to tango

 

[Pannonius]

Because everyone here will be appauled by those guys. But imagine what kind of girl has sex with a football team???? What is going on in her mind?
BTW. Those footballers are azz-holes also, but it was allready said.

I don't know enough about the story to pass a specific judgement on this girl, but in general having multiple sex partners is not a cause of moral depravity in my book.
Of course, YMMV.

I just pictured the 12 men and the girl dancing tango together.

 

[Mandeville]

This isn't surprising since the majority of girls who hang out with football players get banged by them.

 

[Abaddon]

i'm gonna take up football again..

12 Masq? 12? At once?

 

[Abaddon]

and its not 12 from different situations and times... they are all on the same team?











Who got sloppy 12ths?

 

[Masquerouge]

12 Masq? 12? At once?

Where does it say 12 at once? It says 12 footballers are involved, not that she banged them all at once.

But as I said, I don't know enough to pass a definite judgment on this. All I'm saying is that having multiple sex partners (even at the same time) is not something I catalog as depraved per se.

Abusing an underage girl in non consensual sex is, however.
