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.
Foot: one year in prison required in France against Wissam Ben Yedder for sexual assault
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.
After refusing to comply, the footballer was finally arrested in the night in front of his home, with a blood alcohol level of 0.76 mg/l of exhaled air, or 1.52 g/l of blood.
“I don’t remember anything, I can’t say if I did it. It’s because of the alcohol that I’m here,” he declared in a weak voice during the trial.
After detoxification at Nice University Hospital, he joined an extensive fitness program, with the hope of returning to a club this winter.
But his legal troubles are not over. After this new sentence, following his conviction for tax fraud in Spain, where he played between 2016 and 2019 at Sevilla FC, he must be tried on December 27 for psychological violence against his wife.
Likewise, he is implicated in a rape case for which he was indicted in the summer of 2023.
