Former Boca women’s soccer coach prosecuted for sexual abuse

Jorge Martínez, the former technical director of the Boca women’s soccer team, was prosecuted for simple sexual abuse after being denounced by Florencia Marco, the press officer of the squad, from events that occurred in 2022.Marco, who works at the club since 2011, reported that he suffered several situations of harassment and intimidation by the coach from his arrival to the team, in January 2022. She even accused him of having groped her during a trip to Quito, Ecuador, for the final of the Copa Libertadores.According to Marco’s lawyer, Andrea Lucangioli, Martinez’s actions were communicated to members of different areas of the club and also to the vice president and director of the Department of Inclusion and Equality, Adriana Bravo. But when he did not get an internal response, he went to court.” As for the institution, Boca was and is my home for 11 years and that is why I am sad and hurt, because I thought they were going to take care of me, to protect me,” Marco said weeks ago, when he went to court to make the complaint. Since the judicial process began, Martínez was removed from his position and in his place Florencia Quiñonez took over, as the new coach of the senior women’s team of Xeneize.
