Behind the Story: How a Post reporter investigated abuse in women’s soccer
revealing that Dames had been accused of similar mistreatment decades earlier — when he was a youth soccer coach.Tell me a bit about your background. What got you interested in women’s soccer?I came to The Post from BuzzFeed. I was a national politics reporter, so I was on the campaign trail and following mostly Democratic candidates around the country for a few years. I really loved it, but I knew that I wanted to try to do more in-depth investigative reporting once the election was over.
You interviewed so many women about experiences that were very sensitive. There’s definitely a risk of someone reliving their trauma. How did you approach those interviews?With victims, I think it’s really important for them to feel like they’re in control of their story. I wanted them to know that there’s not going to be something in the story that they’re not aware of. If they don’t want a detail of the assault, then that won’t be in the story.
One of the things The Post does is that if you have an anonymous source, you always have to have a second or third source who is confirming what’s been said to you. We spoke to the woman’s sister and the woman’s former teammate. She had some emails that she had exchanged with Rory in 2010. It also was really helpful to have the police report because the police report completely backed up everything that these women who were anonymous had been saying.
