Former Liverpool player Jordon Ibe spared jail after assaulting ex-girlfriend
The former Liverpool winger was given 80 hours of unpaid work and a £764 fine after pleading guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
- On Friday, Magistrate Brij Kalia sentenced former Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe to a 12-month community order for assaulting his ex-girlfriend. Ibe must complete 80 hours of unpaid work, 27 days of rehabilitation activity, and pay £764 in fines and costs.
- The sentencing follows a December 14 assault where Ibe attacked his former partner, Amie Mayson, outside her home in Lambeth, London. During an argument over money, Ibe grabbed Mayson's arm and pulled a braid from her hair, the court heard.
- Representing himself in court, Ibe pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm after initially denying the charge in March. He told the court, "I made a serious mistake. I understand it is wrong," expressing genuine remorse for his actions.
- In a victim impact statement, Mayson said the assault left her confidence "on the floor" but expressed compassion for Ibe. Despite "feelings of fear," she noted forgiveness had been part of her "healing journey," the court heard.
- The former England under-21 international made 58 appearances for the Anfield side before spells at Derby County, Birmingham City, and AFC Bournemouth. Ibe had denied the charge in March before changing his plea to guilty in July.
