A FORMER Bradford City player is scheduled to be sentenced later today for child sex offences.

Tyrell Robinson, 23, 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.

Robinson, from South Ockendon, Essex, admitted engaging in sexual activity with the teenager in Bradford in 2018. He also entered a guilty plea to making and distributing an indecent image of a child via Snapchat on the same date.

The winger was sacked by Bradford City for gross misconduct in February last year after he was charged by police in February. He scored three goals in 23 appearances for the Bantams between 2017 and 2020. He was also a former youth team player with Arsenal.

A second defendant, Korie Berman, from Essex, admitted five charges of engaging in penetrative sexual activity with a girl aged 14 in the summer of 2018 when he appeared before Bradford Crown Court by CVP from his home in Essex.

Berman denied all the allegations at a hearing in June last year and the case was adjourned for trial in April 2021, but he will now also be sentenced today.

Both will be sentenced at a hearing at Bradford Crown Court later today.
