The home of reality TV star and Britain’s first openly gay football club owner Barrie Drewitt-Barlow has been raided by police as part of an investigation into alleged human trafficking for sexual exploitation and rape.
Multi-millionaire Drewitt-Barlow, who bought non-league Maldon and Tiptree FC last February and is one half of ‘Britain’s first gay dads’, lives in the plush Essex mansion with husband, Scott Hutchison.
Essex Police later confirmed that two men – aged 57 and 32 – were arrested on suspicion of rape, human trafficking for sexual exploitation and administering a noxious substance.
Drewitt-Barlow and his ex-husband made headlines in 1999 when they became one of the first gay couples in the UK to have children through a surrogate mother.
