Snooker Star Liang Wenbo Fined and Sentenced for Brutal Assault
Liang Wenbo Caught on CCTV in Violent Attack
Professional snooker player Liang Wenbo has been slapped with a £1,380 fine and a 12-month community order after a shocking domestic assault. The brutal attack happened in the early hours of 20 July last year and was captured on CCTV outside Charles Street.
The footage shows a heated argument escalating as Wenbo repeatedly punches and kicks a woman, drags her to the floor, and keeps up the assault despite bystander intervention. Further clips reveal him pushing her against a wall and throwing more punches.
Victim’s 999 Call Leads to Swift Justice
The victim’s desperate screams prompted a 999 call, alerting police. Wenbo pleaded guilty to assault by beating on 9 February 2022.
CPS Cracks Down on Domestic Abuse
Jonathan Wettreich from the CPS said: “Wenbo perpetrated a sustained and deliberate assault on the female victim, late at night, leaving her in great distress. He has pleaded guilty and been fined £1,380 and given a community order. This was an evidence-led prosecution. We will always pursue domestic abuse cases where our legal tests are met; this type of behaviour will not be tolerated, and the CPS treats such cases with the utmost seriousness.”
Wenbo’s sentence sends a strong warning: domestic violence will be punished, no matter your status.
