Brighton and Hove Albion has become the 1st English Championship club to provide training and counselling to all its young male and female players in the law and ethics surrounding sexual consent.
This is because in 2013, 4 of the club's players were cleared of sexual assault charges at the Old Bailey.
They were all found not guilty of sexually assaulting a 19-year-old woman at a hotel in Brighton.
About the programme :
The Protect, Inform and Prevent (PIP) programme aims to explain when, in law, consent can be said to have been given.
It involves players taking part in confidential question and answer sessions about their previous encounters and is led by a former police detective and a psychotherapist.
