The brother of television presenter Phillip Schofield has been found guilty of sexually abusing a boy.

Timothy Schofield, 54, from Bath in Somerset denied 11 sexual offences involving a child between October 2016 and October 2019.

Schofield was found guilty of all charges by a majority verdict at Exeter Crown Court.

He was a civilian worker for Avon and Somerset Police at the time of the offences.
