French star apologises to his rape victims, blames 'alcohol' for actions

Former Sevilla and AS Monaco forward Wissam Ben Yedder has apologised to his victim while standing trial for an alleged rape.

The 34-year-old French international, who is awaiting a verdict on November 12, faces a possible two-and-a-half-year prison sentence if found guilty.

During the trial, Ben Yedder attributed his actions to heavy drinking, citing personal struggles including financial issues with his agent and a separation from his wife.

“I’m a solitary person… I sought refuge in alcohol,” he told the court, according to Marca.
