Coach banned after sharing indecent imagesThe GuardianThe former manager of a fourth-tier women’s soccer club has been banned from all soccer for 12 years after he sent indecent images of himself to players and a member of staff as well as subjecting them to sexually inappropriate behavior. Hamilton denied 24 FA charges of improper conduct, all relating to his time in charge of the club, but an independent regulatory commission concluded that 23 of the 24 were proven. The FA received evidence from four players and a staff member, all of whom detailed examples of Hamilton trying to illicit sexual activity between May 2022 and November 2024.

Of the 24 charges, one — where it had been alleged that Hamilton had asked the staff member to go home with him while they were working in another job — was found not proven.
