Premier League Figure Accused of Raping Teen and Arranging 'Cash for Sex'

A senior football figure denies allegations of raping a 15-year-old girl in the 1990s but admits to a sexual arrangement when she was older.

The accused, who remains anonymous due to a court order, allegedly raped a 15-year-old girl at his home in the 1990s, according to High Court documents.
The man denies the rape allegations but admits to a 'cash for sex' arrangement with the woman when she was 16 or 17 years old, above the UK age of consent.
The woman claims the alleged rape caused lasting psychological harm, including complex PTSD and depression, and left her feeling violated and ashamed.
Police investigated the allegations in 2021 but took no further action due to legal limitations and advice from prosecutors at the time.
The Football Association has been informed of the allegations, and a further hearing in the civil case is expected at a later date.
