Alleged messages from Premier League team Bournemouth's Alex Jimenez with a 15-year-old girl have surfaced. Following the controversial exchanges, the young footballer was left out of the squad for the Fulham match.
The crisis surrounding Alex Jimenez, who plays for English Premier League side Bournemouth, is deepening. After messages circulating on social media, the young footballer was left out of the squad for the Fulham match, and emerging new details have caused a major stir in England.
CLUB MADE OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Bournemouth had previously stated in a statement that they were aware of the posts circulating on social media and that the matter was being investigated in detail. The club announced that Alex Jimenez was therefore not included in the squad for the Fulham match.
MESSAGES REVEALED
The screenshots circulating on social media featured noticeable conversations between Alex Jimenez and the girl who is said to be the victim. According to the allegations, Jimenez asked, "How about meeting up?" while the other party replied, "I'm not 18 yet."
In the continuation of the messages, despite the young girl stating her age as 15, Jimenez is alleged to have said, "Yes, because you're so cute. You're a bit young, but that's not a problem for me." In another message, Jimenez is claimed to have said, "Age is certainly important, but I like girls younger than me."
BACKLASH ON SOCIAL MEDIA
After the messages emerged, there was a huge backlash against the Bournemouth player on social media. Many users argued that the club should take harsher steps.
CLUB CONTINUES INVESTIGATION
While it is stated that the English club is continuing its internal investigation into the incident, no official statement has yet been made from Alex Jimenez's side.
