Former Premier League referee David Coote has pled guilty to the charge of making an indecent image of a child.
Coote had previously pled not guilty at a hearing in September after being initially charged in August. The 43-year-old former official from Nottinghamshire was accused of a Category A offence—the most severe—after an indecent image of a 15-year-old was discovered on a hard drive at his residence.
