Jesse Lingard, who plays for FC Seoul, flew to the UK and stood on the stand for his grandfather, who is on trial for child sex crimes.

Lingard scored his fourth goal of the season by playing full-time in the ninth round of the "Hana Bank K League 1 2025" against Gwangju FC at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on Sunday. He scored a comeback goal in the 33rd minute of the second half when his team was losing 0-2, but failed to pull his team out of the loss. Seoul lost 1-2.

Lingard was granted permission to "go to England" by the Seoul club on the condition that he plays in an away game against the Pohang Steelers this weekend (27th). Lingard's grandfather, Kenneth Lingard, 86, was accused of sexually harassing a woman from the age of 5 until he turned 19. The 60-year-old woman reported sexual abuse to police after seeing Kenneth "beamed" on the 2022 Jesse Lingard-Untold Story TV documentary.

Kenneth, who denies 17 allegations of sexual abuse, is the person who made Lingard the day. The Sun reported Lingard's testimony on the 22nd (Korea time). Lingard, who appeared at Liverpool Crown Court, thanked him in court that he had lived with his grandparents since he was two or three years old and fully supported his career.

"My grandfather taught me all the skills including basic soccer. He drove from Liverpool to Manchester, Crewe, Barnsley and Stoke and watched me play soccer," he said. "He is the person who made me who I am today."

However, the woman countered that she felt bad about Kenneth being described as such a hero. After the broadcast, it was revealed that he sent three text messages to Lingard.

"Jessie Lingard, shame on you. Too many lies. Your grandfather, Kenneth Lingard, harassed me and sexually abused me. You know, he made a documentary to look like a mental health ambassador. Like you said, I'm speaking out. No more silence," he reportedly pressed Lingard.

In another article, he mentioned that his grandfather was a pedophile and a child abuser, saying that he was hiding a dark secret. He also accused Lingard's late grandmother of being an "aide."

However, Lingard was adamant. When he criticized the woman for putting her grandfather on a documentary, he said, "I was like, 'What are you talking about? I thought I had never heard of anything about it." When the woman threatened to call the police, she testified that she told them to call if they wanted to.

Lingard told the jury that the woman "appeared out of the blue, it was rather random." She replied that she would have " cut off contact immediately" if she had known about her grandfather's alleged abuse. Lingard also said that if the woman's allegations were true, she would be prevented from seeing her daughter. 토토사이트
