Former Monaco striker Wissam Ben Yedder sentenced to two years suspended prison for sexual assault
Wissam Ben Yedder has been sentenced to a two-year suspended prison sentence for sexual assault while intoxicated.

The former AS Monaco and France striker was sentenced by the Nice Criminal Court and found guilty of drink driving, sexual assault and refusal to comply.

Ben Yedder, 34 and currently without a club since leaving Monaco after five years at Stade Louis II, is also obliged to provide care and compensation to the victim, but was not present to hear his sentence.

The case and compensation has been set at almost $7,000 in damages and legal costs, while he was fined an additional $5,300 for refusing to comply.

Ben Yedder has also had his driving license suspended for six months, although the vehicle has since been returned to his father.

In October, the prosecutor recommended two years and six months in prison against the player, which included a probationary suspension of 18 months.

Ben Yedder was already under court supervision after posting nearly $1 million bail over another woman’s accusations of rape at a party in the summer of 2023.

That case is ongoing and still under investigation and his younger brother, Sabri Ben Yedder, has also reportedly been charged with rape, attempted rape and sexual assault.

Wissam, who was also found guilty of tax fraud in Spain, will be tried again at the end of December for psychological violence against his wife in connection with their divorce that began in May 2023.
