Man who racially abused Jess Carter sentenced

At a previous hearing, Dewale admitted sending a malicious message via a public communications network between 19 and 23 June 2025.

He also admitted the possession of an offensive weapon, namely an extendable baton, in a private place in February.

Central defender Carter plays her club football in the United States for Gotham FC in the National Women’s Soccer League, having previously represented Chelsea and Birmingham City in the UK.

The 28-year-old, from Warwick, previously said she was stepping away from social media after she was subjected to racist abuse online during last year’s Women’s Euros.

The court heard Dewale was “in drink” at home when he responded to a news article about police investigating online racial abuse received by Carter following England’s games against France and Sweden in the tournament.

In addition to making racist comments, he wrote: “Women’s football is diabolical. Should not be on national TV” and “Waste of airtime”.
