Skyler Badillo started contacting the former Barcelona striker at the time he worked with the club's training staff, Report Express reports.
Badillo, who was 20 when she joined the team, says Villa told her repeatedly that he loved her and touched her in a annoying manner.
She also indicated that Villa, who played for NYC FC from 2014 to 2018, offered her alcohol when she was under the legal age to drink.
He started asking me what kind of alcohol he's drinking, I was 20 at that time”, Skyler declared.
I said I didn't really drink, he was asking that over and over, what kind of alcohol should I buy in order to go to his apartment for the party. I looked at the assistant coach of the NYC FC, Melvyn Pamplona, and I told him that I don't think this is a good conversation to develop, hoping he would help me, and his answer was, well, it was just a question”.
While a Villas representative said Badillo claims are false “”
“While Villa has never faced this kind of issue before, he appreciates the seriousness of this issue and believes it is important to encourage people to talk about their concerns”, he said.
When David first learned about this situation two years after he had already left the team, he co-operated fully with the investigation and, as he said from the beginning, any accusation of improper conduct is false”
The villa left NYC FC at the end of the 2018 season. The club launched an investigation into Badillo's claims this summer and concluded there had been failures in his system, but did not mention the prestigious Villa.
