Exeter City star Jevani Brown ADMITS attacking woman in city centre but faces trial for alleged assault on another woman
A FOOTBALLER has admitted attacking a woman in a city centre attack but faces trial on an alleged second assault.
Exeter City striker Jevani Brown today pleaded guilty to assaulting the female victim last month.
The 28-year-old is still facing trial after he denied attacking a second woman during the same incident.
Brown entered the pleas during a hearing at Exeter Magistrates’ Court today.
No details of the incident on February 2 were released.
Brown – Exeter’s top goal scorer – was dropped by the League One side following his charge.
He will now miss the rest of the season as the case against him continues.
Brown began his career at MK Dons before joining Peterborough United.
He also had stints at Cambridge United and Colchester United before he was signed by Exeter in 2021.
England-born Brown, who represents Jamaica at an international level, was Exeter City’s top scorer this season with 14 goals and nine assists.
In a statement released today, the club said: “Jevani Brown appeared at Exeter Magistrates Court this morning in relation to an incident in February.
“He pleaded guilty to one charge of assault and not guilty to a second charge of assault.
“A trial date has now been set to hear the case at Exeter Crown Court on July 7.
“As the legal proceedings remain active there will be no further comment from Exeter City Football Club.”
