DEVELOPING: Sacked Referee David Coote Accused of Creating Child Exploitation Image

Breaking News: Sacked Referee David Coote Charged with Making Indecent Image of a Child Former Premier League referee David Coote, 43, has been charged with making an indecent image of a child. Coote was charged on August 12 by Nottinghamshire Police following an investigation into a video file recovered in February. Coote is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates' Court on Thursday. The charge relates to acts such as downloading, sharing, and saving material. He is currently on conditional bail. This incident comes after Coote's sacking from the PGMOL in December 2024 over an investigation into a video allegedly showing him making derogatory comments about Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp. The FA also imposed an eight-week suspension in August for these comments. Coote's current situation remains uncertain, with his court appearance set to shed more light on the case.
