Football Star Convicted of Sexual Assault

The former French national team player Wissam Ben Yedder is sentenced to two years' conditional imprisonment for sexual assaults.

In August, the 34-year-old and his brother were accused of forcing two women to sexual acts.

Subsequently, they were prosecuted for rape, attempted rape, and sexual offenses.

Now, the former top scorer in the French league is sentenced to two years' probation for sexual offenses. Additionally, he must pay 5,000 euros, equivalent to approximately 58,000 kronor, in damages to the victims.

Wissam Ben Yedder has played 19 international matches and scored three goals for the French national team. He has previously represented clubs such as Spanish Sevilla, as well as Toulouse and most recently Monaco in France. Currently, he is without a club.
