Kieron Dyer: Bennell prison sentence is too short

Kieron Dyer, who was abused when he was a child, has said the prison sentence of Barry Bennell is too short.

Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live’s Sarah Brett, he said that former football coach Barry Bennell’s 31-year jail sentence is not long enough for the impact he’s had on his victim’s lives.

“He’s took away everything from them and 31 years is nothing in my eyes.”
