According to the latest news on April 2, 2022, Beijing time, Chinese star Liang Wenbo admitted that he was sentenced to 12 months of community labor reform and a fine of 1380 pounds after attacking a woman in Sheffield. Ferguson, president of the World Snooker Tour, thought it was a terrible event, and the seriousness of the matter went far beyond the event itself. China Central Television reported on the incident, and China's famous liang Wenbo was discredited overnight. As a professional player in gentleman's sports, Liang Wenbo obviously did not do a good job in personal cultivation, which is also an important reason for his morals and breaking the law.
Liang Wenbo clashed with a female friend
The Crown Prosecution Service said that on July 20 last year, CCTV broadcast footage of world No. 33 Liang Wenbo beating and kicking a woman. Liang Wenbo pleaded guilty to family-related assault at Sheffield Magistrates' Court on 9 February, and he was fined £1,380 and 12 months of labour rehabilitation under a local community order. At present, Liang Wenbo has sincerely apologized to the woman and obtained the other party's understanding, but the seriousness of this incident is not so simple. As a professional snooker athlete and public figure, Liang Wenbo has not become a role model for positive influence. And as it stands, the World Snooker Tour may also punish him.
Wittrich: Liang Wenbo's behavior was very bad
Jonathan Wittrich, deputy chief prosecutor of the Yorkshire and Humberside CPS, said: "Liang Wenbo carried out continuous and deliberate attacks on female victims in the middle of the night, which plunged her into great pain. We will always handle cases of domestic abuse in compliance with legal tests; such behavior will not be tolerated and we at CPS will take such cases extremely seriously. He has pleaded guilty and has been fined £1,380 and sentenced to 12 months of community labour reform. We hope that everyone will take this as a warning and not do anything to hurt others. Incidents of domestic abuse are reflective and can wreak havoc on the vulnerable. And the social effects caused by such events are also very bad. ”
Ferguson: We're discussing whether Liang Wenbo is foul or not
WPBSA Chairman Jason Ferguson said: "We are very disappointed by the performance of Liang Wenbo after learning about this matter today, and Liang Wenbo has clearly admitted to this very serious accusation. However, we have only noticed this today because we have seen the court's decision. What we need to consider now is whether he has fouled us in our field. If so, then we will punish him, which is under discussion. Objectively speaking, the social impact caused by Liang Wenbo's behavior can be described as very bad. As a professional snooker player, Liang Wenbo should have maintained a gentlemanly and calm attitude, but he was completely out of control of his emotions and behavior after arguing with the woman. In fact, the pernicious effects of the incident have gone beyond the incident itself. The moral requirements of public figures and professional players should have been higher than ordinary people, so Liang Wenbo's behavior is completely unforgivable. Although Liang Wenbo and the victim have reached a settlement, as a party to this incident, Liang Wenbo has obviously brought a very bad impact, which has also discredited him.
