A GOLF professional from Burton is believed to be in a Spanish jail facing accusations of child sex abuse.

Sean William Stiff, who ran El Soto de Marbella Golf Club, on the Costa del Sol, is behind bars as investigations continue into the allegations.
Stiff, 39, who formerly played at Branston Golf and Country Club, was arrested after his alleged victim, now in her teens, claimed he had abused her for five years.
The allegations, which remain under investigation by Spanish prosecutors and have not been proven, have, for now at least, curtailed an idyllic lifestyle Stiff is thought to have enjoyed since moving to Spain from Burton six years ago.
Initially the golf professional at Cabopino Golf Club, he became head professional at El Chaparral Golf Club before moving to El Soto.
He is understood to have taught golf, run competitions and set up a children’s academy.
Stiff is thought to have been hit by the abuse allegations only weeks after moving into a new house near Marbella.
British officials, meanwhile, are remaining tightlipped about a matter they regard is one for the Spanish authorities.
A Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokesman said: “I can confirm the arrest of a British national in Spain.
“Consular assistance is being provided and we are in touch with next of kin.” Staffordshire Police said they had not been informed of any legal proceedings against Stiff.
