Austin FC academy players under investigation by police and FBI for youth-on-youth sexual abuse allegations
Multiple players in the Austin FC academy are under investigation by Austin police and the FBI over allegations of youth-on-youth sexual abuse within the club's youth system. The inquiry, confirmed by multiple sources including the Austin Police Department and MLS, centers on alleged interactions between academy players. Austin FC Academy reported becoming aware of the allegations in December 2025 from concerned academy families and took immediate action, including reporting to MLS, the US Center for SafeSport, and local law enforcement. The academy suspended all activities for the affected age group and initiated an internal investigation. Multiple academy players have been disciplined, but no staff members have been. The FBI has visited the club's training facility to conduct interviews. Both Austin FC and MLS have paused their own proceedings until law enforcement concludes its investigation. The academy comprises five teams from U-13 to U-18 with at least 100 players.
