Read our privacy policy A man has been jailed for “abusing his influential position” as a school football coach to coerce a teenage girl into having a sexual relationship with him. The Met said that Moss “abused his influential, senior position to manipulate the victim and keep their relationship hidden.” The girl’s worried friends reported the abuse to staff at the school. Detective Sergeant Virginia Condren, of the North Area Child Abuse Investigation Team, said: “The evidence against Moss proved he took advantage of a young girl and her family’s trust. “My thanks extend to everyone who has assisted police with this case and notably Moss’ former friends and colleagues who provided evidence for the prosecution.” Superintendent Seb Adjei-Addoh of the North Area Public Protection Unit, urged anyone who is, or knows, a victim of abuse to contact pollice or a “responsible person,” adding: “You will be given every possible support by specially trained officers.”
