Ben Yedder is caught up in a legal case
Monaco legendary striker Ben Yedder's troubles continue-after being accused of sexual assault last year, he is facing new troubles.
The 34-year-old Ben Yedder was accused of sexual assault on August 12, 2023, his 33rd birthday. Last season, he still played normally for Monaco and scored 20 goals, but he was under police surveillance off the court.
After leaving Monaco this summer, Ben Yedder became a free agent. He still lives in the Alpes-Maritimes for the time being. Although he has had new contacts with some teams, he has not found a new club.
Yesterday's L'Equipe said that although Ben Yedder has been under investigation for "rape, attempted rape and sexual assault" since 2023, he was accused of new charges last weekend.
The French international was detained by the police after receiving a complaint from a 23-year-old young woman, also for sexual assault.
The incidents are said to have occurred on the night of Friday to Saturday in the Alpes-Maritimes - Ben Yedder, who tried to escape, was arrested by the police while driving in a drunken state from Friday night to early Saturday morning.
After being detained by the police, the former Monaco captain, who has no contract, was transferred to the court early Sunday afternoon and will stand trial on October 15.
It is reported that Ben Yedder's crimes are "sexual assault, refusal to comply with regulations and driving under the influence of alcohol."
Under strict judicial control
It is reported that the 34-year-old Ben Yedder is under strict judicial control. He is prohibited from leaving the Alpes-Maritimes and cannot go to nightclubs and drinking places.
In addition, Ben Yedder is prohibited from going out between 8 pm and 6 am. L'Equipe contacted his lawyer Luze, who was unwilling to comment on the current progress of the matter.
In his career, Ben Yedder was a shooter in Toulouse, Sevilla and Monaco. In addition, he also represented the French national team in the 2021 European Cup.
