Essex Police investigate David Sullivan following new information

Essex Police are investigating David Sullivan, co-owner of West Ham, after recent allegations surfaced from a joint BBC Panorama and Times investigation. Multiple women have accused Sullivan of predatory behavior dating back to the 1980s. Sullivan has denied the allegations, stating that past restrictions imposed due to a 2023 complaint were meaningless and did not affect his work. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy is seeking clear answers regarding how these serious allegations have been managed, particularly after it was revealed that Sullivan had been banned from contacting women's and youth teams. West Ham officials maintain confidence in their safeguarding measures.
