Police Investigate Former West Ham Owner

West Ham co-owner David Sullivan has “categorically denied” allegations of sexual exploitation and predatory behavior. On Monday, two of the world's most reputable media outlets, The Times and the BBC, published accounts from seven women who claim the billionaire engaged in sexually exploitative and predatory conduct. Sullivan, who amassed his wealth from owning pornographic magazines and sex shops, dismissed the accusations as “completely untrue.”

The women's accounts date back to the 1980s and 1990s, a period when Sullivan owned the tabloids "Daily Sport" and "Sunday Sport." The 77-year-old businessman resigned from his position on Saturday after being “notified of the impending publication of serious historical allegations” concerning him.

Police have received new information following the emergence of historical allegations against former West Ham co-chairman, David Sullivan. The accusations against Sullivan reportedly involve pressuring young or aspiring models in their late teens or early twenties. The Metropolitan Police stated that officers are investigating a report related to “alleged indecent image taking and sexual exploitation at locations in London and Essex during the 1980s.”
