SAO PAULO (AP) - Brazilian club Santos has suspended the coordinator of its soccer academy amid a sexual assault investigation.

Brazilian media report that 19-year-old Ruan Petrick Aguiar de Carvalho accused Ricardo Marco Crivelli, known as Lica, on Friday. Santos says the case that dates back to 2010.
