Former Liverpool player pulled braid from ex-girlfriend's head, court told
The former Liverpool forward changed his plea after prosecutors said he pulled a braid from Amie Mayson’s hair, leaving her with a bald patch.
- On Tuesday, footballer Jordon Ibe pleaded guilty to assaulting his former partner Amie Mayson at Croydon Magistrates' Court, changing his plea after initially denying the charge in March.
- During an argument at Mayson's home in Lambeth, London, on December 14, Ibe grabbed her by her hair and pulled out a braid after she called him a "druggy."
- In a victim impact statement read on Tuesday, Mayson described deep emotional harm, stating, "Looking in the mirror is very distressing for me, the injury is a constant reminder."
- District Judge Polly Gledhill ordered a pre-sentence report and scheduled sentencing for September 4, telling Ibe the case is in "community order territory" and urging him to be "as honest and open" with probation.
- The former Liverpool footballer, who made 41 appearances for Anfield, now plays for Lokomotiv Sofia and has been bailed with conditions prohibiting contact with Mayson.
