Joey Barton has received a 12 -week prison sentence suspended in the Westminster Magistrates Court after being guilty of assaulting his wife in June 2021.
The former 42 -year -old footballer was convicted of attacking his wife, Georgia Barton, after a night of heavy drinking with two other couples.
According to court proceedings, Ms. 38 -year -old Barton suffered a blow to the forehead and a bloody nose as a result of alternation.
After the incident, Mrs. Barton called the police, saying that her husband “had just hit me.” However, he then filed a letter to the prosecutors to try to withdraw his allegations.
Despite this, the chief magistrate, Paul Goldspring, dismissed the version of Barton’s events as a “strike” and finally found him guilty of a single assault on the beating after a two -day trial.
The prosecution also argued that Mrs. Barton was not as poisoned as she and her husband had suggested. Ms. Duong said that his bloody nose “was an injury that really requires an explanation,” adding: “It was clearly something not caused by an accident.”

During the trial, Barton admitted that he had discussed with his wife but denied any physical altercation. He was asleep in his bedroom on the night of the incident when the officers came to arrest, still intoxicated.
At the police station, he remained silent during interrogations, offering an interview without service.
His defense lawyer, Simon Csoka, questioned the calendar of events, suggesting that there was uncertainty about when Mrs. Barton suffered his injuries before making the emergency call.
Directing in front of the front, he argued: “There are several circumstances in which the injury may have been accidentally suffered.”
Appearing in court dressed in a black jacket, a jump, pants and glasses, Barton did not speak while on the dock, but he was in charge of being aware that the verdict was announced.
Despite the conviction, Barton and his wife remain married and share two children together.
