After the Argentine Club of Quilmes, of the Primera B Metropolitana, went to court and kicked out the coaches of the U-16 and U-14 women’s soccer teams, Omar and Diego Gimenez, by sexually harass female players through text messages, spoke Natalia Romano, the mother of the victim who reported the case.
The woman said that Omar Giménez, father of Diegohe asked the minor for videos, which he then forwarded to a WhatsApp group that he shared with other men and also that they wouldn’t let her in to see practices. “From the door to the inside of the club I don’t know what happened to my daughter”, she posed, distraught.
“He [por Omar] with the son he made a separate group where the two of them were with the girls. He asked them for videos, to dance, to move, or in training he filmed them, recorded them and passed it on to a WhatsApp group of men”, he counted in Radio The Network Romano, who found out that Giménez was exercising grooming on his 13 year old daughter through the mother of a colleague.
“They were new and since there were so many girls, they divided the categories into sub-14 and sub-16. My baby was happy the first few days, until these people showed up and last week the girl didn’t want to goI made many excuses. I told him ‘don’t make me pay a fee if you don’t want to go anymore, let me know’. Because one does not think… As a mother I did not realize that she was giving me a warning”, recounted the woman, who said that her daughter used excuses for not attending practices, such as pain in her hands or in her hip, being a goalkeeper.
Then, Romero detailed how he knew what was happening: “When he started harassing her through messages, she started crying and my daughter couldn’t stand it. I asked her the two days I find her crying. She doesn’t tell me, I find out from third parties. She tells a fellow club member, the girl talks to her mother, there she communicates with the club coordinator and the coordinator calls my daughter to wake me up and tell me what happened so I can file a complaint”.
