The controversy surrounding former Liverpool striker Andy Carroll, once a brilliant name in English football, is escalating. According to the influential publication The Guardian, the player could face up to five years in prison as part of the case against him.
It has been reported that Carroll was previously arrested on suspicion of attempted sexual assault. The incident occurred in April of this year, and the police issued a special order prohibiting contact with the victim. However, according to Essex County Police, the former footballer violated these requirements.
According to the law, violation of the prohibition on prosecution may be limited to a fine in light cases. However, if the violation is deemed serious, the penalty may end in up to 5 years in prison. According to the investigation's version, Carroll continued to pursue the victim despite being released on bail.
After his arrest in April, the footballer was released under the stipulated conditions until February 2026. However, violating these conditions only exacerbates his situation. The first hearing of the case will take place on December 30 at the Chelmsford High Court.
Regarding his football career, Carroll terminated his contract with French club Bordeaux in June of this year. Last season, he made 23 appearances for the team, scoring 11 goals. Despite productive play on the field, problems in the player's personal life pose a serious threat to his future.
The conclusion is that Andy Carroll, once known as a promising striker in the English Premier League, being mentioned in courtrooms today, not as a sport, is a strong signal. The upcoming court decision will undoubtedly affect not only his football career but his entire life.
