David Coote, former Premier League referee, faces charges related to the creation of an indecent image of a minor.
The former referee, 43, and a resident of Collingham, is scheduled to appear before Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, September 11.
The charge of creating an indecent image of a minor refers to actions such as downloading, sharing, or storing photos or videos of abuse.
The accusation is based on a video recovered by Nottinghamshire police in February, according to authorities.
Coote was charged on August 12 and is out on conditional bail.
