Former Premier League and current Lokomotiv Sofia player Jordon Ibe, 30, changed his court appearance and admitted assault after pulling out his ex-girlfriend's braid during an argument in December, according to a court report. According to a statement at Croydon Magistrates' Court, the incident happened on 14 December outside the victim's home in Lambeth, south London. The court confirmed that Ibe removed a braid from Amie Mayson's hair, leaving a bald patch. It was revealed in court that an argument ensued when Mayson demanded that Ibe return the money he allegedly owed her. Ibe is said to be carrying a bag containing drinks, snacks, and flowers. When Mayson threw the muffins on the floor and called him "druggy," prosecutors claimed Ibe grabbed Mayson by the hair. In a victim impact statement read to the court, Mayson said her confidence, self-esteem and general well-being had been greatly affected. According to the statement, "Staring in the mirror is very disturbing for me." She also added that the damage left in her hair is a constant reminder of what happened and she is often tired and sad because of it.

Ibe was arrested by the Metropolitan Police at Luton Airport on 30 January, according to an earlier police statement. Attending the court, Ibe confirmed his personal details and changed his previous confession to formally confess to the charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Before this case, Jordon Ibe was known in English football: he joined Liverpool in 2012 and appeared in 58 matches in all competitions, had playing seasons for Derby County and Birmingham City, and recorded 92 appearances for AFC Bournemouth from 2016 to 2020. After playing in the non-league for two years, he moved to Current club Lokomotiv Sofia in the Bulgarian First League in November 2025. District Judge Polly Gledhill told the court they were entering the territory of a community order and requested a pre-sentence report. The judge also ordered Ibe to be honest and open in his probation report while awaiting sentencing. Ibe was granted conditional bail that prohibits him from contacting or going to Mayson's residence. Ibe's sentencing is scheduled for September 4. The case will remain under observation for any further developments as the court prepares a pre-sentence assessment. This incident reminds the community of the serious effects of domestic violence and how it can affect victims not only physically but also emotionally and psychologically.

What's next

Now that Ibe has changed his court appearance, he will await sentencing in September. His future in football, especially with his current team Lokomotiv Sofia, may be affected by his legal situation. Premier League clubs and other teams in the EFL Championship will certainly be watching his case as it becomes a public matter.
