A Premier League footballer reportedly sent nude pictures of himself to a girl just hours after catching a glimpse of her in a school uniform.
The mystery player is said to have approached the 18-year-old during her break from school, before later sending her two explicit images.
Jim Gamble, a former online protection centre chief, acknowledges that the girl is 18, but believes that the man - who has a girlfriend, children, and has represented his country - should face legal action.
"I understand the girl is 18," he told The Sun. "However, by recklessly sharing these images this man has, at best, set a bad example to young fans.
"At worst, if these photos were sent out of the blue, he may have committed a criminal offence."
The reported A-level student, who initially tracked down the player on social media, is thought to have cut off communication with him upon receiving the pictures.
