A footballer has pleaded guilty to assault after pulling a braid out of his ex-girlfriend’s head during an argument.<\/p>\n

Former Bournemouth and Liverpool player Jordon Ibe, 30, assaulted his former partner Amie Mayson outside her home in Lambeth, south London, in December.<\/p>\n

The former England under-21 international, from Chislehurst, south-east London, changed his plea to guilty, having denied the charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm in March<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Croydon Magistrates’ Court heard Ibe pulled a braid from Ms Mayson’s head, leaving her with a bald patch.<\/p>\n

They were arguing on 14 December when Mayson confronted Ibe and demanded he repaid her money she said he owed her.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said Ibe had a bag containing drinks, snacks and flowers, but when Mayson threw muffins on the floor and called him a “druggy” he grabbed her by her hair.<\/p>\n

In a victim impact statement read to the court, she said the attack deeply affected her confidence, self-esteem and self-worth.<\/p>\n

“Looking in the mirror is very distressing for me,” she said.<\/p>\n

“The injury is a constant reminder of what happened and often leaves me feeling emotionally drained and upset.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A footballer has pleaded guilty to assault after pulling a braid out of his ex-girlfriend’s head during an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":691551,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-691550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691550","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=691550"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691550\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/691551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=691550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=691550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=691550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
