Following an intoxicated night out with two other couples, 42-year-old former football player Joey Barton attacked Georgia Barton at their Kew home. Georgia Barton, 38, told in court that the assault left her with a lump on her forehead and a bleeding nose. Joey and Georgia have a son Cassius Joseph who was born in 2011 and a 10 year old daughter Pietà Giulia Barton together. While Georgia’s net worth isn’t known, her husband Joey is worth 7.5 million pounds.
The trial which was originally due to be heard in 2022 but delayed when Georgia Barton retracted her allegations heard that the 38-year-old called the police shortly after 11pm to “report she had been hit by her husband” in Kew, south-west London.
Before getting into a fight about a family issue, they had each been drinking alcohol with two other spouses while their kids were sleeping upstairs. The 42-year-old Barton, a former midfielder for Manchester City and QPR, then grabbed his wife, slammed her to the ground, and kicked her in the head.
Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring acknowledged that Barton had “a record of violence,” he expressed his satisfaction that an immediate jail sentence was not required.
A mitigating factor, Goldspring said, was that the couple remained in a “happy relationship” with a young child. After the punishment, Barton said outside of court that he was “really disappointed” with the magistrates’ decision and that he planned to file an appeal.
