Former Arsenal footballer admits sex offence with 14-year-old girl

A professional footballer has been told he could face jail after he admitted a sex offence against a 14-year-old girl.

Tyrell Robinson pleaded guilty to engaging in sexual activity with a child, making an indecent image of a child and distributing an indecent image of a child, during his appearance at Bradford Crown Court on Tuesday.

The former Bradford City and Arsenal player will be sentenced at a later date.

The 22-year-old, from South Ockendon, Essex, admitted engaging in sexual activity with the teenager in Bradford on August 13 2018.

Robinson also entered a guilty plea to making and distributing an indecent image of a child via Snapchat on the same date.

He denied a separate charge of distributing an indecent photograph of a child in December 2017, and the court was told the prosecution will not proceed with this count.

Robinson was sacked by Bradford for gross misconduct after he was charged by police in February.
