French soccer player Wissam Ben Yedder has found himself in legal trouble once again. This time, he has been taken into custody on charges of “sexual assault in a state of inebriation.” The public prosecutor’s office has appealed the decision not to remand Ben Yedder into custody after he was released following his arrest. Ben Yedder, who was without a club since his contract with Monaco expired, has been summoned to appear in court and has been placed under judicial supervision.
Details of the Trial
The trial for Wissam Ben Yedder has been set for Oct. 15, with very little information provided by the prosecutor about the case. According to reports, Ben Yedder was arrested after a woman born in 2001 filed a lawsuit for sexual assault. The alleged events took place in Ben Yedder’s car on a Friday night. This is not the first time Ben Yedder has been involved in a legal case, as he faced charges of “rape, attempted rape and sexual assault” in a separate incident in the south of France last year.
Professional Career
Despite his legal troubles, Ben Yedder has had a successful career on the pitch. Last season, he scored 16 goals and provided three assists in the French league, helping Monaco to a second-place finish behind Paris Saint-Germain. In his five seasons at Monaco, he scored an impressive 118 goals in 201 appearances in all competitions, making him the second all-time leading scorer for the club. Ben Yedder also has 19 caps for France, with his last appearance for the national team being in June 2022.
The legal issues surrounding Wissam Ben Yedder are serious and may have a significant impact on his career and personal life. As more details about the case emerge and the trial unfolds, it will be important to closely monitor the situation and see how it develops. The allegations of sexual assault are troubling, and it is essential that the legal process is allowed to run its course to determine the truth of the matter. For now, Ben Yedder’s future both on and off the field remains uncertain.
