PA MediaFormer Premier League referee David Coote has been charged with making an indecent image of a child.
The 43-year-old, who was sacked by the league last year over comments made in a video about former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, was charged following an investigation by Nottinghamshire Police.
The force said the charge related to a video file recovered by officers in February.
Mr Coote, from Collingham in Nottinghamshire, was charged on 12 August and is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Thursday.
