Hope Solo to face domestic violence charges once again

Solo was accused of attacking her sister and nephew, then 17, on June 21, 2014. After the charges were dropped, she tried staging a national redemption tour in the lead-up to the Women’s World Cup, with the starting goalkeeper insisting she was the victim. This was followed within a week by an Outside the Lines report that portrayed exactly the opposite: it described a drunk Solo who repeatedly punched her nephew in his face and slammed it into the concrete of a converted garage before punching her half-sister in the face. After she was taken by police, Solo reportedly told one officer “I’d kick your arse.”
