The German soccer federation has reached a settlement with a former referee in a dispute over allegations of sexual harassment.
The former official - 63-year-old Manfred Amerell - sought an injunction preventing the federation from saying that he had sexually harassed several people in the past.
Amerell, who denies any harassment, quit the federation's refereeing committee and a post in Bavaria's regional federation last month.
The two sides reached a settlement on Thursday in which Amerell withdrew his application for an injunction and the federation was to give him affidavits in which four referees accused him of harassment. He will not be allowed to publish the names.
