An independent 17-page audit by Aleta Law of 114 matters handled by former SafeSport investigator Jason Krasley found instances in which he failed to maintain professional boundaries and used an "overly familiar" interview style. The review, based on 12 interviews over 11 months, prompted SafeSport to reopen three cases and flagged two other matters for further inquiry. SafeSport has begun implementing many of the audit's 12 recommendations, revised hiring policies and engaged survivor-support group The Assist for outreach.
Audit of Former SafeSport Investigator Spurs Reopening of Three Cases, Finds Boundary Failures

DENVER (AP) — An independent audit of 114 matters handled by a former U.S. Center for SafeSport investigator found lapses in professional boundaries and prompted the agency to reopen three cases.
Audit Findings
The 17-page review by law firm Aleta Law, completed after an 11-month examination that included interviews with 12 people, concluded that former Pennsylvania police officer Jason Krasley "failed to establish appropriate professional boundaries" in some interactions. The report noted instances in which Krasley communicated with parties outside business hours, maintained an "overly familiar" tone and sometimes conducted substantive conversations in unrecorded calls.
"The audit revealed instances in which Krasley failed to establish appropriate professional boundaries," Aleta Law wrote in the report.
Cases Reopened And Additional Concerns
SafeSport said it has referred three of the 114 matters to another external firm for re-examination. The audit also identified two additional matters that warrant further investigation based on new information obtained outside the review's original scope.
Background And Agency Response
Krasley was fired by SafeSport in November 2024 after an earlier arrest on allegations that he stole drug money seized during a police raid in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He was later arrested in January 2025 on charges including rape, sexual assault and involuntary sexual servitude for alleged incidents dating to his time as a police officer from 2011 to 2018; he has denied those allegations. The agency's hiring of Krasley drew scrutiny from lawmakers, including letters from Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) asking about the hiring process.
In the wake of the controversy, SafeSport has rewritten and strengthened many hiring and operational policies and removed CEO Ju'Riese Colon in April amid public scrutiny. The center retained Aleta Law in February 2025 to perform the audit and provided full access to all 114 files Krasley handled.
Recommendations And Outreach
Aleta Law made 12 recommendations for policy and procedural changes. Among them: limit substantive interviews conducted via unrecorded phone calls, clarify professional boundaries for investigators and adopt stricter documentation standards. SafeSport has begun implementing many of those recommendations over the past 18 months.
SafeSport also engaged The Assist (formerly Army Of Survivors) to reach people who had contact with Krasley; that group recommended establishing concrete boundaries to prevent the erosion of ethical standards and reduce the risk of grooming behaviors.
Next Steps
People who had interactions with Krasley were invited to contact SafeSport to discuss the audit's findings or request re-evaluation of their cases. The agency has referred the three reopened matters to an independent external firm, and investigators say they will pursue the two additional leads identified by the audit.
