Controversy
Sexual abuse
In August 2019, Chelsea's board apologised "unreservedly" after a report found that during the 1970s the club's chief scout, , groomed and abused young boys aged between 10 and 17. The report, which was led by Charles Geekie QC, concluded that Heath was a "prolific and manipulative sexual abuser" and had been able to operate "unchallenged". The report was also heavily critical of the club's former assistant manager , who was accused of failing to tell more senior club staff about an allegation regarding the sexual conduct of Heath which had been brought to him by the father of a young player.
In light of the report, Chelsea announced that it was committed to assessing compensation claims for victims.[201]
