CARDIFF CITY PLAYER KNOCKS WOMEN UNCONSCIOUS IN NIGHTCLUB

A promising Cardiff City midfielder knocked a woman unconscious and assaulted her friend during a night out at a popular city centre nightclub, a court has heard.

Kevin Sainte-Luce, 19, punched Anna Wadey and pushed her friend, Laura Bennett, to the ground as the pair celebrated a friend’s 18th birthday at Glam Nightclub on Greyfriars Road.

The 19-year-old, who trained with Cardiff City Academy, was drinking and dancing with friends when the incident took place in the early hours of Saturday, November 3.

Rhys Thomas, prosecuting, said the girls were dancing when Sainte-Luce punched Miss Wadey “for no obvious reason”.

He added she had been knocked unconscious and suffered a badly bruised jaw and cuts to her mouth.

Miss Bennett, 23, said she was determined not to let Sainte-Luce leave the club.

“I didn’t want to let him get away with it,” she said.

“I shouted at him ‘why did you hit a girl?’ but he didn’t show any emotion.”

She added: “When I first saw him, he looked really angry and aggressive. I felt quite scared. He took a step back and lunged at me. His fists were clenched and he shoved me with both hands.”

Geraint Richards, defending, said the footballer had acted in self-defence.

Speaking with the help of an interpreter, the 19-year-old said: “She was right in my face and she was shouting and swearing at me. She was provoking me and I just wanted her to go away.”

He added Miss Bennett had stumbled because she was tipsy and wearing high heels.

Miss Bennett denied the accusation, saying: “I was mildly tipsy, but I did not fall over. I do not remember swearing at him.”

District Judge Bodfan Jenkins said: “It seems to me these were the actions of a courageous and determined young woman. She felt intimidated, but she still took on the role of ensuring he did not escape without sanction. She acted in a spirit of friendship.”

He added he did not believe Saint-Luce had acted in self-defence.

“I do not find that Miss Bennett acted in the banshee-like way described by the defence,” he said.

“His evidence does not show a real fear of attack.”

Sainte-Luce, of Fairwater Grove East, was arrested on November 10, after handing himself into the police.

He pleaded guilty to assaulting Anna Wadey on November 27, but denied assaulting Laura Bennett. He was found guilty of assaulting Miss Bennett and will be sentenced at Cardiff Magistrates’ Court on January 15.

Get him out Malky.

if this is true what an idiot, we slate Marlon King for similar, wonder hat we will do with him?

Once case is finished then the club need to take action. Cant really think of excuse for him even if attacked first. If courts prove he's guilty I hope we sack him. I can't stand women beaters.

If found Guilty he needs to serve whatever sentance is given and deported. Hate cowards who hit Girls

Silly boy. Women can be mouthy kunts, especially when they've had a drink, you just gota walk away, ones you hit a girl, yor fuked.

scum simple as that

'the footballer had acted in self-defence.'

Cos hes a f.ucking silly little c**t its a shame someone didnt knock him unconcious.

Put me down for strike 1.

his LAD comment and music video entitled "golden touch" have been deleted, great job by mods if they done it about time that idiot is off the board for life but hey its not like he would say the things he does on here in real life to someone, maybe he will get knocked out in a nightclub and have someone say LAD!

How do we know he ain't been stitched up by a lying girl? They always act it etc and then go and cry when they get harmed in self defence. ttut tut.

Was me that deleted those comments, seemed a lot like he was condoning Sainte-Luce's actions.

Just because the judge believed the girl dont mean he hasn't been stitched up. Simple as that. He handed himself in. Why do that if he has something to hide? Its obvious it was self defense because otherwise he would have not gone anywhere near the old bill.

but he is still a LAD for hitting a girl? even if she was in his face he couldnt walk away? your real name isnt Kevin Saint Luce by any chance is it?

He pleaded GUILTY to knocking the first girl out.

Send the c.unt down and pack the immigrant off home.

Read the last paragraph

Stitched up??

He admitted the offence! and then said acted in self defence?

You say women always "act it" when attacked? That is a very brave statement to make there pal!

Self defence or not - you don't hit women, you may think it's acceptable but any normal man would know the limits, this is just not tollerated.

I hope the club get shot of him, whether he's found guilty or not. The reasons for that are clear for all to see.

why wouldn't he? alot of people hand themselves in, last week where im from a boy or in you're case "LAD" smashed his misses up in a Tesco car park and he went to police and handed himself in, I know his misses and I know the tw*t who have beat more than one girl up, its wrong on every level and no way are they "LADS" just mice.

Obviously allowing his mind to jump to conclusions again, before letting his eyes see the facts, and the fingers to run wild!

He was and is so you should have left the comments to show his true colours.

Can't undo them now, but if people read the quotes they'll know what he said, absolutely ridiculous.

Are you unable to read? It says he pleaded guilty. And if a judge suggests he is guilty its because the judge has seen enough evidence to come up with their verdict. You on the other hand have seen no evidence and stick up for the 'man' who attacked 2 innocent women?

Ban all black everything and the club should release this scumbag immediately.
