Audit of SafeSport investigator leads to reopening of three cases

An external audit of 114 cases handled by former SafeSport investigator Jason Krasley prompted the agency to reopen three cases and identified lapses in professional boundaries; the report included 12 recommendations for policy changes.

An external audit looked at 114 cases handled by former U.S. Center for SafeSport investigator Jason Krasley and led the agency to reopen three of those cases. The 17-page review by Aleta Law said Krasley largely acted professionally in interviews but found instances where he failed to establish appropriate professional boundaries. The Center commissioned the audit after Krasley was fired in November 2024 amid reporting about his background and subsequent legal allegations. The agency has revised hiring policies and engaged outside groups to reach people who had contact with Krasley. Audit findings: - The audit reviewed 114 cases, took about 11 months to complete, and included interviews with 12 people involved in those investigations. - The report said some interviewees felt Krasley used an informal style that was "overly familiar" and that he at times failed to maintain professional boundaries. - The Center reopened three cases and referred them to a separate external firm; the audit also identified two other matters that require further investigation. - Aleta Law offered 12 recommendations for policy and practice changes; the Center has implemented many changes and hired an outside group to assist with outreach. Summary: The audit prompted the Center for SafeSport to revisit specific investigations and to strengthen hiring and investigative practices. Officials sent three cases for external re-evaluation and noted two additional matters for further inquiry. The audit recommended clearer boundaries for investigators and other procedural changes. Undetermined at this time.
