Back in July it emerged that a Premier League footballer had been arrested on suspicion of child sex offences:

The Greater Manchester Police released the following statement on the issue:

“He is on police bail pending further enquiries.”

It would then be confirmed that the player in question was playing for Everton, who released this statement:

Everton can confirm it has suspended a First-Team player pending a police investigation. The Club will continue to support the authorities with their inquiries and will not be making any further statement at this time.
