Wissam Ben Yedderex-captain of AS Monaco and former French international, was sentenced Tuesday by the Nice criminal court to two years suspended prison sentence for one sexual assault in September.
In his indictment on October 15, the prosecutor requested a year in prison and 18 months of probation against the 34-year-old player, second top scorer in the history of AS Monaco but without a club since the end of his Monaco contract this summer.
The player, who was not present for the deliberation on Tuesday, will also have to pay 5,000 euros in damages to the victim, as well as a fine of 5,000 euros for a traffic offense. Now included in the register of perpetrators of sexual assault, he is also deprived of his driving license for six months and subject to an obligation of care.
On the evening of September 6, Wissam Ben Yedder, in a drunken state, took a 23-year-old young woman into his car. Once in the parking lot of his home near Monaco, he caressed her thigh then masturbated with one hand while trying to attract her to kiss her with the other. Initially paralyzed, the victim finally fled and called the police.
