However, two other youth team players have now been charged with the same charges as the cleared players.
Because of the stress the revelation of the charges placed on the Washbourne and Edwards' families, the club will not be identifying the two players who have since been charged, and have asked the press to refrain from doing so too.
The two players charged have both been suspended by the club until the outcome of the investigation by the Birmingham County FA is known.
Conor Baker who is has since left the club but has applied his defence and is awaiting a personal hearing. The club has fully complied with all parties to resolve the matter at the earliest time.
