The sentence of Tunisian-French forward Wissam Ben Yedder, who was tried for sexual assault while intoxicated, has been determined.

HE RECEIVED A 2-YEAR SUSPENDED PRISON SENTENCE

According to a report by French media RMC Sport; the French striker was sentenced to a 2-year suspended prison sentence for committing sexual assault while drunk. The 34-year-old was also fined 5,000 euros and ordered to pay 6,500 euros in compensation to the victim, and his driver's license was suspended for 6 months.

HE ADMITTED TO BEING AN ALCOHOLIC AND APOLOGIZED

In his statement at the previous hearing, Ben Yedder said, "I don't remember anything, I can't say whether I did it or not. I'm here because of alcohol. I sincerely apologize to the victim, their family, and my own family."

The experienced footballer, who has played for the French national team 19 times, admitted in court, "Alcohol made me forget, it caused me to stop thinking. I realized that this is the biggest mistake of my life." L'Equipe reported that Ben Yedder joined a "Alcoholics Anonymous" group and underwent a 2-week detoxification treatment at Nice University Hospital.

The Tunisian-French footballer, who was betrayed by his former manager, defrauded by his financial director, and whose marriage fell apart, said in court, "I am a lonely person, it's very hard for me to trust people. They betrayed me, and I turned to alcohol."
