An assistant referee for the English Football League has reportedly been charged with a child sex offence.

Gareth Viccars is due to appear in court as he faces one charge of penetrative sexual activity with a girl aged between 13 and 15.

Viccars, 46, has already appeared in Willesden Magistrates Court last week and is due in Snaresbrook Crown Court on March 3 where a plea will be entered, according to Sky Sports News.

He is currently being remanded in custody.

‘As soon as the allegations came to light, Mr Viccars was immediately suspended,’ a spokesperson for referees’ body the PGMOL told Sky Sports News.
