THE SUNDAY GAZETTE

ROVERS CHAIRMAN ROTHS UNDERAGE SEX SHAME

John Lucas
The Sunday Gazette can exclusively reveal that David Roth, the co-Chairman of Melchester Rovers has been having secret hotel romps with a fifteen year-old girl. Lucas, former boss of advertising giants Splendida, was snapped leaving the swanky Parklands Hotel in Central London on Friday night with his young companion, after what our sources understand, the latest in a SERIES of sexual encounters between the two. The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, attends an exclusive Melchester public school and is a classmate of Roths own daughter Melody. We understand that her parents believed she was in London with Roth and his family to attend the Premier League soccer match between Walford Rovers and Roths Melchester and were totally unaware of Roths inappropriate liaisons with their daughter. They declined to comment further at this time.

David Roths underage lover, her identity has been hidden

David Roth was unavailable for comment when The Gazettes legal team contacted him at Parklands Hotel last night. But as our picture journal shows Roth had dined with his daughter and her friend in the hotel restaurant after watching his Melchester side win twonil against Walford to gain their first victory of the season. Images and comments taken from the girls Facebook and Twitter profiles confirm that she had been seeing an older man. But few of her friends would have guessed that that man would be 53-year-old multi-millionaire David Roth. She speaks of her deep feelings and love for her mature man, who spoils her rotten with jewellery and strawberries and wine evenings. If it emerges that Roth has been having sexual relations with a girl under-16 after plying her with alcohol, the crime would be viewed far more severely in a court of law.

The Sunday Gazette has made an official complaint to the Metropolitan Police and compiled a list of meetings between the two, along with photographic records, that have been handed to investigators. We understand that an investigation is now underway and that Police have contacted Roth with a request for his attendance at Bow Street Police Station as soon as possible. A police spokesman said, A report to be published in a Sunday newspaper makes very serious allegations against a 53-year-old male of Melchester. I will be clear here that while an investigation is taking place, nobody has been arrested or charged at this time. We now urge any of the girls friends who have any information to contact their local Police Station where they can file a report. It is vital that predatory sexual offenders like David Roth are convicted of their crimes. His celebrity status and wealth should be no bar to justice.

ALL SATURDAYS GOALS AND DRAMA INSIDE!

David Roth was delighted, Lucas had fallen into the trap and published an entirely fictitious story. The plan had worked perfectly, from the tip-off, the posing outside front doors of the hotel, to John Lucas unpredicted desperation for a Sunday story. Joey Goldfield was a genius, everything was covered. The string of sexual misconduct allegations in the press at the moment had almost removed the stigma from such charges. Roth would emerge with his reputation enhanced. He would not sue Lucas of The Sunday Gazette, that would risk revealing the trick. But he would insist on a full retraction, John Lucas would never cross him again. David sat in his suite at the Parklands Hotel with his daughter and her friend Alexia, who had agreed to play her part in the scheme in exchange for a family cruise in the Caribbean. Her parents were more than happy to agree knowing that the true story would leave their daughters reputation intact. Wow! What a story, I cant believe how easy that was. It sure was handy that you came to Tuscany with us last summer and that Mel takes so many damn photos! Goldfield had carefully selected photographs where David and Alexia appeared together, with no-one else in the frame. There was one brilliant one, a selfie that the girl had shot with David in the background in his underpants looking sweaty. Alexia had also spent the summer dog-sitting for the Roths while they took their second holiday in Tel Aviv. CCTV images were leaked showing her leaving the Roth Estate at all sorts of odd hours. Alexia did, conveniently have a new older boyfriend, but he was just seventeen, the messages on her Twitter and Facebook could be interpreted as the reader wished. Those that might reveal anything not within their story were simply deleted. It may sound like a patchy scheme, but knowing that no police investigation would take place beyond initial inquiries, meant Joey Goldfield only needed to put together a short story. He did not expect John Lucas and his bosses at the Daily Gazette to jump in so deeply and so quickly, just one week after the pictures were delivered to Lucas secretary, that was a bonus. Roth could hear a commotion at the front doors of the hotel, the press and television crews were gathering. Time for part two ladies! We all leave together as if nothing has happened. There was collective shock as David, Melody and his lover Alexia made their exit through the heavy revolving doors. The girls linked arms as David dragged two suitcases behind him, staying a yard or so back. A policeman told the television crews to stop recording the girls, they could not feature in the media while an investigation took place. It was the law. I didnt think a Melchester win commanded this much attention! Roth said jokingly, Any comment on the story in todays Gazette, Mr Roth? David spun around to face a young female reporter, We played exceptionally well, my dear, the first of many victories under Vernon Eliot! She thrust a copy of the Sunday paper into his hands, Whats this nonsense? he roared, before beginning to laugh. He looked into a television camera that was recording again, Youll hear from my lawyers Lucas. Who do you think you are? You petty little man! *** It was very quiet at the Melchester Rovers training ground. Vernon had given the players three days off. So many were involved in the round of World Cup Qualifiers that holding a full scale training session with only half a dozen players would not be beneficial. Instead Vernon would watch Roy Race and his young development squad train. He had not had enough spare time to see them for himself this season, having to rely on reports from Roy. The great man was a superb judge of a player, both good and bad. So his reports so far were a cause for concern to Vernon; Roy was not impressed with any of his youngsters. The boys were going through fitness drills as Roy spotted the manager jogging across from the clubhouse, Its not going well, Vernon. Too many of the lads have a bad attitude. Some even openly challenge my instructions, even with the fitness exercises. Its not good, chum! Vernon was disgusted, if young footballers would not respect Roy Race, probably the greatest ever footballer, who would they listen to?

England secured a precious point from a mediocre World Cup qualifier in Poland to edge towards next summer's showpiece in Brazil.
Manager Richie Gunn will be delighted England have their fate in their own hands as they know victory in their final two Wembley qualifiers against Northern Ireland and Ukraine in October will guarantee automatic qualification. There was little else to enthuse about from a performance that did the job but could also be used as a prime exhibit to support new Football Association chairman Charlie Sutton's claim that England are not realistic contenders to win the World Cup in 2014. England's draw was built on the solid foundations set by a magnificent performance from Melchester Rovers midfielder Jake Cheetham, particularly in the early stages when they were riddled with uncertainty as Poland applied pressure. Poland, however, suffered from a familiar failing of running out of steam following a bright start and, ultimately, England survived in relative comfort. England's performances in the group stage have been undistinguished with their only victories coming against the minnows of Segovia and San Marino. And this simple fact should serve as a warning against any complacency about those final two games that hold the key to their qualification.

England's travelling fans stayed behind in Warsaw's spectacular National Stadium while police cleared gangs of hooligans from the surrounding streets, as almost 50,000 Polish fans trooped away fearing they will now be consigned to the play-offs. As expected, Daniel Newton replaced the injured James Grayson and it was a landmark night for Steve Royce as he won his 100th England cap. In a predictably hostile atmosphere, England displayed early nerves and Melboro goalkeeper Jack White, in particular, came under stern examination from the hosts. White, who has suffered criticism for his recent form for club and country, survived an early penalty appeal when he slid out to meet Gregorz Bobryk, who fell under the challenge but referee Juan Portillo showed no interest. Gunn's side gave Poland anxious moments of their own as they forced a succession of early corners with Gary Baker seeing one header deflected over and another swept off the line by Tomasz Janiec. White caused more concern for England's defence, which relied so heavily on Baker early on, when he juggled a loose ball unconvincingly but was finally able to clear. The visitors were struggling to impose any authority in midfield, with Harry Shearer a particular disappointment as too often he was shrugged off the ball and conceded possession easily. Gunn's side had, however, resisted Poland's early pressure and captain Steve Royce was not far away with a long-range effort that landed on top of the net with Eastgate goalkeeper Wicinski scrambling. The second half was descending into a desperate affair and both managers made changes after 68 minutes in an attempt to inject some quality into proceedings. Warren replaced Shearer, while Poland sent on Dawid Boutes for Radoslaw Wilczuk. England had restricted Poland in the second half but Tony Walter's ill-advised foul on Hebda, for which he was shown a yellow card, gave Lukasz Zyk an opportunity 20 yards out. The free-kick was on target but took a crucial glance off Paul Porschewski and went inches wide. Boutes then headed straight at White from a corner, a clear opportunity that left the giant Pole holding his head in despair as play swept to the other end. Cheetham had a late chance to give England a win only to steer his header wide - but Gunn will have been satisfied with a point that will be crucial if his side can now complete the task at Wembley next month. Storky Knight NEXT WEEK Rovers return to league action and will David Roth clear his name?
