That is to say, the judge made a decision that implies the state of firm suspicion about the commission of the crime that is awarded to the former player and former coach of Boca’s women’s soccer.
Following this, The complainant broke the silence to provide details about the harassment they suffered at the club.
in dialogue with Tennessee, Marco described how the abuse suffered by Martínez increased: “The new women’s soccer coach was introduced, in January 2022, and from there everything changed. My work and also my life. Because there he began to feel what harassment is, abuse. I had to talk to him about things of work, in the environment where the whole team was, and From the first day he began to intimidate me with his gaze. Looking at my breasts, my private parts, my legs“.
“The following week, that intimidating look, he added to passing his tongue over his mouth, talking to me and looking at my tits… it makes me very disgusted and I can’t even say it. As a woman she intimidates you because you don’t know what to do, you don’t know what to say. One day he was sitting with the computer, come on, touch my kneebut not like a person with good vibes can do, he looks me in the eye and passes his tongue back. There I look at him and I say: ‘What are you doing?‘” he added.
Later, Florencia assured that she did not even want Martínez to greet her because he “touched her too much” and explained: “He did it so subtle. I did not know how to tell him that I did not want him to greet me like that because nothing had happened so far, but He intimidated me a lot, that’s also abuse because you felt cornered. I knew that other people were going through the same thing.“.
In addition, Marco declared: “The other week, I was talking to a player, I had my cell phone in my pants pocket, and suddenly I feel a hand that goes through my whole tail, my leg… and you freeze because you don’t know what is happening. She suddenly appears with the cell phone in the middle of the conversation and He tells me ‘here, this is where you keep all your secrets’. That’s when I started screaming. ‘He’s crazy, he’s crazy, how is he going to touch me?'”
“I was with this person in Ecuador for more than 20 days, in the same hotel, different rooms but on the same floor. Everyone knew that I was not going to eat with that person in the same place, so I ate with the players, but from his table kept looking at me. I was afraid of running into him, of meeting him, I didn’t want to go to work. I was afraid of being raped“he added to TN.
Along these lines, the press officer expressed about the day she denounced the harassment in Boca: “I’m going on February 1, I took courage, I went with Andre (Luncaglioli) my lawyer. I went to human resources because I am an employee of Boca. They asked me to open the protocol alone, without my lawyer, and when the protocol is finished I ask ‘how do we continue?’. There they told me that I had to raise the protocol to the Interdisciplinary Council, then to the Board of Directors for evaluation and From that, an investigation is made and a decision is made.“.
