The footballer gets arrested thread

[soggy biscuit]

He got sentenced to 3 months in prison for the exact same thing a few years ago, I wonder if he will get more this time for it being a repeat offence

How can he have been a professional footballer for 14 years and still be illiterate & and alcoholic?? Surely your morals kick in at some point and want to help your employee? (maybe they have tried and he is just a massive c***)

I was on a lads holiday in Malia in 2003 at the same time as Pennant and also Carlton Cole and a load of other young footballers. Needless to say Pennant in particular was absolutely shitfaced every time we saw him, once when he was steaming around on a quad bike. Chatted to him once and he didn’t actually seem like too much of a helmet, I think he just likes a drink too much.

Didn't he lose his car once?

Jermain Pennant arrested and charged with drink driving, driving while disqualified and driving with no insurance after crashing into another car.

Without football clubs mollycoddling their assets like him these people would be screwed. I predict Pennant will be dead within 5 years of retiring.

This is why I disagree with the advice to do things the Stoke way in the premier; I don't want us signing the Woodgate and Pennant types of human being.

Three Brighton and Hove Albion footballers and a Bournemouth player have been charged with sexually assaulting a woman and voyeurism.

Brighton players Anton Rodgers, 19, Lewis Dunk, 20, and George Barker, 20, and former player Steve Cook, 21, were charged on Monday.

The charges relate to an incident alleged to have taken place in Brighton on 17 July last year.

All four have been bailed to appear before Brighton magistrates on 11 May.

They were among six players arrested in January by Sussex Police.

Fellow Brighton player Ben Sampayo, 19, has been informed that no further action will be taken against him.

Brighton defender Tommy Elphick, 24, was eliminated from the investigation in January.

Voyeurism is a thing?

Voyeurism is a thing?

Please let me be on the receiving end of a WHOOSH here, otherwise at you.

IIRC isn't Anton son of Brendan?

[Simon's Church]

Yeah he is.

I thought Magistrates were for petty crime like shoplifting and shit, not sexual assault

[Royal Lady]

I thought magistrates could only give lesser fines/jail sentences - so I expect they'll not even go to jail.

They assess the evidence and can then refer to Crown Court if they feel the charges warrant a sentence (if found guilty) beyond their remit.

Yes. It is very rare that a criminal case doesn't start off in the Magistrates Court, where - dependant on gravity of offence - the defendant can either elect trial by Jury or the Magistrates can send the case to a higher court which has more appropriate sentencing powers (Magistrates can sentence to a maximum of 6 months custody).

Blackburn striker avoided a jail sentence after this:

However if you read about the incident elsewhere you'll find he was actually attacking somebody who'd assulted his mate first..

It's 7 minutes long but the CCTV is here:

Didn't seem like the worst offender tbh. it's along time between the guy knocking his mate out and Goodwillie attacking him.

If you want to see the lol bit, it's after Goodwillie attacks the guy and he [the other bloke] tries to walk away only stacks it over an obstacle in the street

Shouldn't have even gone to court.

Inclined to agree Seal

Mr Plod took their time getting there as well didn't they? This was a City centre club wasn't it?

And the CCTV camera seemed to follow/send them to the wrong group.
