Abuse totally devalues you as a human being - Carter
England defender Jess Carter says she did not want to leave her hotel room after receiving racist messages online during Euro 2025 for fear of encountering her abusers.
Earlier this month, Nigel Dewale, 60, pleaded guilty to sending abusive posts to 28-year-old Carter's TikTok account during the tournament, which defending champions England went on to win.
The messages included a derogatory reference to Carter's race and suggested people with brown skin were "murderers" and "groomers".
The former Birmingham City and Chelsea centre-back also said she feels the abuse female players are dealing with "is getting worse".
