The father of a Premier League soccer player was reportedly charged with sexual assault that allegedly happened at a Weatherspoons bar. The 60-year-old man is not named and has no famous son. He is accused of inappropriately touching a woman in the evening at a popular pub chain.
As reported by the Sun, the man was sought by police following a complaint in March where a woman was inhabited. After handing over himself, he was questioned for several hours and was later charged with sexual assault.
The man is said to have approached the woman from behind and touched her inappropriately. She was said to have been “shake” after the incident.
After handing over and being interviewed, the man was released on bail.
However, he has since been charged and is scheduled to appear in Sheffield Magistrates Court next month.
Representatives from the Crown Prosecutor’s Office confirmed that the man was charged with a single sexual assault.
The source told the outlet in the report:
“He has worked with the police throughout and has been flooring his decision to accuse him. He has never been bothered by the police before.”
