Premier League clubs have continued to play two footballers, and kept a boss in post, while knowing they are under police investigation for sexual or domestic violence.
Alleged victims told the BBC that the Football Association (FA) and Premier League prioritise commercial interests over the safety of women.
They describe a culture of fear associated with speaking out.
The football bodies say they take sexual misconduct very seriously.
Seven out of 20 Premier League clubs have had players or bosses investigated by the police for sexual offences since 2020, the BBC investigation found.
