After the domestic violence case which saw the conviction of Taleta Tupuola on November 13, it is that of Hans Nkinsi’s “habitual violence against spouses” (facts that the player contests) which is judged before the criminal court. The second line from Béziers, Hans Nkinsi, was sentenced to 18 months in prison, including 6 months for domestic violence and 12 months with a probationary suspension.
The two players, licensed at Béziers, are former FCG (Grenoble).
Threatened to report him to the police by another player’s wife
And in various testimonies reported by L’Equipe, these acts would have been minimized or even covered up by Pierre Caillet, the manager of ASBH in Pro D2. The native of La Mure (Isère), who played for CS Bourgoin-Jallieu during his career, would have been contacted by several of his players, Cameron Dodson, Tim Nanai Williams and Otunuku Pauta, who came to the aid of Shawna Tupuola, Taleta’s wife while the latter was sleeping.
According to Cameron Dodson’s wife, Pierre Caillet asked them not to go to the hospital and that he was going to contact the club doctor. “Upon their arrival, an argument broke out between the latter and Cameron Dodson’s wife. The latter allegedly told him that she was going to call the police if he did not let them go to the hospital. The coach then accompanied Shawna Tupuola to the emergency room, where he criticized her, according to her testimony, for giving her identity,” reports L’Equipe.
« Today, I am simply protecting a man. A man who made a mistake »
For his part, Pierre Caillet firmly defended having wanted to protect his player. « I never tried to hide domestic violence, he concludes. Today, I am simply protecting a man. A man who made a mistake. And who already has double trouble. He loses his wife, he loses his child. So what do we do? Are we spitting on him again? », declared the Isère resident at the bar.
