Timothy Schofield: Brother of TV presenter Phillip Schofield jailed for 12 years over child sex offences

[Louize]

The brother of TV presenter Phillip Schofield has been jailed for 12 years over child sex offences.

Timothy Schofield was last month convicted of 11 sexual offences involving a child between October 2016 and October 2019, including two of sexual activity with a child.

Schofield, a civilian police worker from Bath, Somerset, told jurors while giving evidence in his trial at Exeter Crown Court that he had watched pornography with the boy who he insisted was over the age of 16 at the time.

During the trial, jurors heard that Schofield told his older brother, This Morning presenter Phillip, in September 2021 that he and the victim had watched pornography together.

The victim came forward to the police to report the offences in December 2021.


Last month, jurors, by a majority of 10 to two, found the 54-year-old guilty of all counts after more than five-and-a-half hours of deliberations.

Following the verdict, in April, lawyers for Phillip released a statement in which he branded his brother's crimes "despicable".

"As far as I am concerned, I no longer have a brother," the 61-year-old ITV presenter said.

He also said in the statement that "if any crime had ever been confessed to me by my brother" he "would have acted immediately to protect the victim and their family".

That was the 15yo lad who threatened to out him. Then Schofield was rendered “brave” for coming out when in reality it was to side pedal the accusation.
