A nasty piece of work that fella is.Greame Rix
In March 1999, Rix was sentenced to 12 months in prison, of which he served six, for having underage sex with a 15-year-old girl. He was placed on the sex offender registry for 10 years and banned by the FA from working with youth players under the age of 16. In 2013 he told The Independent that he thought she was of legal age. On his release from prison, he immediately returned to his old job.
He subsequently claimed that there were "mitigating circumstances" in the case, saying "I know the true story that I've never ever said. In 2018, Rix, along with assistant manager Gwyn Williams, was accused of racism and physical assault by multiple Chelsea trainees who were of school-age at the time. Both denied the allegations. After a seven-month investigation, the police decided there was insufficient evidence to take any action.
