A Turkish referee, whose sexual intercourse video was leaked, made a striking statement.
The Arbitration Board of the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) unanimously approved the decision to revoke the licenses of a male observer and a female referee involved in a sexual intercourse video. According to the decision, observer O.E. and referee E.K. were sentenced to a lifetime ban. Following this decision, especially E.K. announced that she would start a legal battle. The 24-year-old female referee, E.K., opposed the ban imposed by the TFF, stating, "A long legal process awaits us, but we will overcome this situation in the strongest way possible." In her statement shared via social media, E.K. said she expected support and added, "Crying or feeling sad is not for me. I will stand behind my case. I am just someone who is being targeted, and I hope this will be the last time."
TFF's decision on the sexual content video drew reactions.
The TFF had decided to revoke the licenses of the 61-year-old former referee observer O.E. and E.K. due to their involvement in the sexual intercourse video. This development created a major stir in the sports community. Particularly, the legal battle that the young referee E.K. will undertake is being closely watched.
A Clear Message from the Female Referee: "I Will Stand by My Case Until the End."
E.K. captured attention by declaring that she would not give up in the face of the injustice done to her and that she would fight for justice. It is expected that this incident will set an example for other athletes who experience similar situations.
