Coote, 43, had previously pleaded guilty to making an indecent moving image of a child
Former Premier League referee David Coote has been given a suspended sentence after he was found to have a sexual video of a 15-year-old boy in school uniform on his laptop.
Coote, 43, previously pleaded guilty to making an indecent moving image of a child of the most serious kind, and his sentencing judge said he had had a “spectacular fall from grace”.
Coote’s arms and hands trembled as a sentence of nine months, suspended for two years, was passed at Nottingham crown court on Thursday.
Prosecutors said the 2min 11s video found on his laptop showed the boy undress until he was completely naked, before performing sexual acts on himself.
