We are all aware of the relationship between celebrities and their lust for sex, but illicit sex solicitation one month after the wedding is not only strange but also unforgivable.
In this case, Jermain Defoe, a big and popular soccer star from the Premier League who has previously played a significant role in few clubs and at international level, is accused of soliciting sex from a nurse just one month after his expensive wedding with wife Donna Tierney.
In March, Defoe announced his retirement from the game after 22 years as a player.
In 764 appearances for clubs such as West Ham, Tottenham, Rangers, Sunderland, Portsmouth, Bournemouth, and MLS side Toronto FC, the 57-cap international scored 305 times.
Of those goals, 162 came in the Premier League, making him the competition’s ninth all-time leading scorer.
Defoe, now a TV pundit, attempted to entice the woman with a romp-ride in his Range Rover.
The former Three Lions star, who is now a Spurs youth academy coach and ambassador, began contacting the 40-year-old mother in July.
Defoe, 39, married Donna Tierney, 40, on June 4 at Cliveden House in Berkshire, in a £200,000 ceremony that was featured on the front page of OK! magazine.
“This is my future, this is forever, this is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with,” he said in the glossy magazine.
However, on July 14, Defoe began is said to have started messaging the woman via Instagram and later tried to arrange a meet-up.
“I’d met Jermain years ago in a bar, but nothing happened. We stayed in touch a bit over WhatsApp but I hadn’t spoken to him for ages.Then he started messaging me on Instagram in July. He was desperate to meet me and we flirted a lot,” the accuser says.
The woman also told the British media that ultimately, Defoe wasn’t very charming and he clearly only had one thing in his mind.
“Then, when I realised he was married, I didn’t want it to go any further,” she adds.
She says any affair with the soccer player wouldn’t have been fair on his wife. She even asked who on Earth does such a thing so soon after vowing to spend the rest of their life with someone?
“I suppose I felt he was the powerful one, the famous and wealthy former footballer. Our messages were a bit of fun at the time, but there was no point in carrying it on,” she also says.
The soccer world is not untouched by sex scandals.
Recently, a top player from Manchester City was released from jail after an accusation of rape was made against him. He was arrested in an early morning raid on his home.
Manchester United also faced a similar situation with Mason Greenwood who was accused of raping a woman. Greenwood is now back in the team.
