FA bans Drewitt-Barlows from football club amid police investigation
Summary

Barrie and Scott Drewitt-Barlow have been banned by the Football Association (FA) from operating Maldon and Tiptree FC while police investigate serious allegations against them. The couple was arrested on suspicion of rape, sexual assault, and modern slavery trafficking. Their interim suspension means they cannot be involved in any football-related activities. The charges stem from an investigation that began in May and are connected to accusations of targeting young men from 2013 to 2026. A court hearing to set further details and charges is scheduled for later in June.
