Footballer Marlon King has been jailed for 18 months for sexually assaulting a woman - and has been sacked by Premier League club Wigan Athletic as a result.

The striker was repeatedly "cold-shouldered" by the 20-year-old student in a bar in central London last December, Southwark Crown Court heard.

He groped her and then punched her, leaving her with a broken nose.

The father-of-three, from Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire, had insisted it was a case of mistaken identity.

The jury returned a unanimous verdict, however, and King was convicted of sexually assaulting the woman and causing actual bodily harm.

The assault happened at the Soho Revue Bar at a time when he was on loan with Hull City.

King was celebrating two occasions - his wife's latest pregnancy and the scoring of a winning goal - with a night out in the West End.

He was repeatedly "cold-shouldered" by women in the bar, the court heard.

'Gratuitous violence'

Prosecution lawyer Roger Daniells-Smith said King had struck up a conversation with his victim by saying: "Don't you know who I am? I'm a millionaire."

The court heard she replied: "I don't care who you are; take your millionaire self away from our table."

He groped the woman and she told him: "Don't do that, it's not nice. Don't touch me."

King was warned off her again but he continued to stroke the woman's hair and then told her she was not in his league, the court heard.

After she pushed him in the chest, King lost his temper and a moment of "completely gratuitous violence" led to him "smashing" the victim to the floor, jurors were told.

Two other people standing beside him were also knocked away as a result of the force of the blow he inflicted.

Several witnesses testified that King was responsible, despite his denial.

They included a football coach who insisted the 29-year-old Jamaican international was the assailant.

Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan said King "was finished with football" at the club.

"We have to follow the rules and regulations, which means we will have to give him 40 days' notice that his contract will be cancelled," he told Sky Sports News.

"He is absolutely sacked. We will not tolerate football players who get sent to jail for 18 months."

Notts County.

Fully deserves his 18 months, little prick.

Good. It's his seventh trial apparently, and the best he coiuld do was the Shaggy defence? Fuck off.

18 months well deserved, but again highlights how stupidly low some sentences are, for paedos and such.

He should have got more. Fair play to Whelan for telling him to fuck off though. Some clubs would have stuck by him.

I'm not a lawyer or anything, but why doesn't the offence fall under Grievous Bodily Harm? Apparently it's a minimum of three years with that, which he more than deserves IMO.

I doubt any club would stick by him after this, after all it's hardly speeding or something, it's sexual assault and abh. The prick deserves it, and i hope he has a fucking hard time inside.

"He is absolutely sacked. We will not tolerate football players who ~~get sent to jail for 18 months~~ act like total control freak mysogenistic knobheads getting a kick out of knocking women about cos he's not getting any pussy from them, what a total dickhead, eh?"

Surely that would have been a better message to send out, Mr Whelan?

Guys a complete c*nt, should never harm a woman.

bigbear · « **Reply #12 on:** October 29, 2009, 06:44:49 pm »

18 months is not enough for this with his previous record and the fact that he pleaded not guilty.

Utter scumbag and coward. I truly hope nobody ever gives him another opportunity to large it in football.

Pistol Pete · « **Reply #13 on:** October 29, 2009, 06:45:19 pm »

Hope he shares a jail cell with a complete nutter.

Violence against women, dishonesty, motor offences, drink driving. He's also served time previously for violence I think.

I'm all for giving people second chances and we've all done stupid things but pestering, then sexually assaulting a 20 yr old who has repeatedly told you to leave her before smashing her in the nose with enough power to break it is just nasty.

Forgot he was inside for the cars when he was at Watford wasn't it. Sounds like a right c*nt, and hope he gets a lesson inside this time.

Any tosser who uses the words "Don't you know who I am" deserves 18 months for that alone.

So this is what you have to do to get sacked from a club finally we've found a limit.

I have less than no time for Dave Whelan but well done to him for that, even if he is just doing the right thing.

Hope he gets battered whilst inside on a daily basis. Disappointed that no one turned around and sparked the c*nt out in the bar, but then there may not have been the opportunity to.

I imagine life inside for a proffesional footballer, who is living the life many dream of, have the money to be able to make the choices so many would love to make, and then acting like a c*nt, will make him unpopular.

Then the fact he beat up a women.....he thought life at Hull was bad.
