MANCHESTER, England — English soccer club Watford has apologized to the victims of a former physiotherapist nicknamed “Paedo Phil” after concluding an investigation into his alleged abuse.

Several survivors said Edwards’ behavior was “common knowledge amongst club staff,” that boys talked openly about him and he was referred to as “Paedo Phil.”

But she has been abused online and called a "paedo lover" by opponents.

"They had edited them, put hashtags over the top, they created memes… there were several hashtags with 'paedo'," she said.

A Swansea Valley school said it called the police after staff were secretly filmed and labelled #paedo on the app.
