Swiss first-division side FC Thun has been hit by a scandal with 12 current or former players detained on Tuesday on suspicion of having sex with a 15-year-old girl. The police, who began their investigations in September, took nine other men into custody. All those detained have been accused of having sexual relations with the underage girl who was one of the club's fans. The age of consent in Switzerland is 16. Sexual relations seem to have occurred on more than one occasion, police said in a statement, adding that the encounters appeared to have been mostly consensual. But it is illegal under Swiss law to have sex with a minor if the age difference is greater than three years. In a statement, management of FC Thun said they were shocked and concerned by the case. Despite the suspicion hanging over the club, president Kurt Weder said on Swiss public radio that the team would go ahead with all its scheduled training and games. However Tuesday afternoon's training session was cancelled after the news broke. Asked to comment on the players implicated in this scandal, Weder said the men were innocent until proven guilty and that one should await the results of the investigation. Thun's main sponsor said that it would also wait for the outcome of the case before deciding what to do. The Frutiger construction company has a one-year contract with the club. The investigating judge's office said later on Tuesday that criminal proceedings would be instituted against most of the men arrested, who were all released after being questioned. Thun came to prominence in 2005 by qualifying for the group stage of the Champion's League, Europe's top soccer competition. With an annual budget lower than the individual salaries of many top European players, the team was the smallest side ever to advance to that stage. www.swissinfo.ch/eng/Home/Archive/Sex_scandal_rocks_Thun_football_club.html?cid=51724Yeah i know it was in 2007 but a story's a story..  |

This could easily have happened down stoke in the early 1990s, quite a few of the stoke players were reputed to have slept with one of my class mates, and this was before she was 16

Are Paul Jewell, Lenny, Andy Carol and JT involved? If so, I'm not really interested. I prefer something a bit more out there!
