The chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee is looking into how a former police officer landed an investigator's job at the U.S. Center for SafeSport despite sex-crime allegations that littered his past, while also asking if the center knew he had been accused of newer crimes when working there last year. Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa sent a letter to the sex-abuse watchdog’s CEO with 13 questions related to how the center missed red flags about former Allentown, Pennsylvania, vice officer Jason Krasley. Krasley has been arrested multiple times over the past three months for crimes he allegedly committed between 2015 and 2024. The center fired Krasley in November after learning of his initial arrests.
