Two weeks ago, just before the Champions League return match between Liverpool and PSG, the former OM player (2012-2013) Joey Barton distinguished himself by filming himself making a finger of honor in front of the empty bus of Parisians. This Tuesday, the 42 -year -old Englishman was found guilty of having kicked his wife’s head, Georgia Barton, after throwing her on the ground during an argument, leaving the victim with his nose in London in June 2021.
The 38 -year -old woman, with whom he is still married, had explained in February 2022 not to want to give judicial follow -up to this incident and explained that she was accidentally injured. But British justice had maintained the accusations against Joey Barton.
While mentioning history of violence in the defendant, the judge of the Westminster court said he was “convinced that it was not necessary to impose an immediate prison sentence” on Barton, stressing that the couple had a “happy relationship” and had a young child. At the time of the assault, Joey Barton led the Bristol Rovers team (One, 3rd English Division). A club which he was dismissed in October 2023.
