Cardiff City player Lee Tomlin charged with grievous bodily harm alongside Accrington Stanley striker Billy Kee after nightclub scuffle in Leicester.

Daily Mail

Friday 18th August 2017

Cardiff City forward Lee Tomlin and Accrington Stanley striker Billy Kee have been charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm without intent.

The Crown Prosecution Service East Midlands authorised the charge following an incident outside a Leicester nightclub in January.

The alleged offence occurred in the early hours of January 22, the day after Tomlin, 28, had played for former club Bristol City in a 1-0 defeat away to Nottingham Forest and Kee, 26, featured in Accrington’s 1-1 draw at home to Carlisle.

Former Middlesbrough and Bournemouth player Tomlin has played three times for Championships leaders Cardiff this season, but is yet to score since manager Neil Warnock signed him from Bristol City for £2.9million in July.

Kee has scored twice in three games for Accrington, who are ninth in League Two.

The pair are due to appear at Leicester Magistrates Court on September 18.

Janine Smith from the CPS said: ‘The CPS has received a file of evidence from Leicestershire Police relating to an incident in the early hours of 22 January.

'Following a review of the evidence, the CPS has authorised the police to charge Lee Tomlin and Billy Kee with inflicting grievous bodily harm without intent.'

There's no such charge as GBH without intent. He's been charged with section 20 GBH not section 18 with intent. 12 months if found guilty after trial, suspended sentence and community service with tag if pleading guilty straight off id say.

I wonder if the club knew about this before signing him?

Having said that, we have to remember that he is innocent until proven otherwise.

There are two different counts of GBH, Section 20 and Section 18 with Section 20 being the less serious of the two offences. Section 20 is Grievous Bodily Harm (also known as wounding without intent) in which the defendant didn’t specifically intend to cause that much damage. Section 20 cases can be heard in both the Magistrates and Crown Courts.

Seriously harming a victim without intent is a Section 20 Assault—a less serious form of GBH. Section 20 Assault, unlike Section 18 Assault (intentional), can be heard in both the Magistrates and Crown Courts albeit will normally be dealt with in the latter, and it carries a maximum sentence of five years.

He's not on remand and innocent until proven guilty so I didn't see why he wouldn't play.

I assume the club were fully aware of this situation and accepted they can handle it otherwise Bristol City and the player may have to answer a few questions.

or he didnt disclose it in negotiations.
