Scandalous Joey Barton found guilty of assaulting his wife. What will be the punishment?

The scandalous former Manchester City footballer Joey Barton has been found guilty of assaulting his wife.

Details. According to the Mirror, Barton was sentenced to a suspended prison term at Westminster Magistrates' Court after being found guilty of attacking his wife in their family home in June 2021.

Barton delivered several kicks to his wife's head. She was diagnosed with bruises and a broken nose.

The scandalous Englishman received a 12-week suspended prison sentence. A mitigating circumstance in the case was that both Barton and his wife were intoxicated at the time of the altercation.

Moreover, in court, Georgia Barton could not confirm whether all her injuries were inflicted by her husband or if some resulted from a fall due to severe intoxication.

Reminder. It was previously reported that in 2021, Joey and Georgia Barton drank 4-5 bottles of wine during dinner with two other couples, after which an argument ensued between them.

After the assault, Barton's wife had a nosebleed and a bump on her forehead. She called the police and reported that her husband had hit her. She also admitted that this was the first time such an incident had occurred.

Joey Barton played for Manchester City from 2002 to 2007, appearing in 150 matches and scoring 15 goals for the team.
