Raheem Sterling

[Pablo]

It was against his girlfriend according to the Mail:

Raheem Sterling has pleaded not guilty to assaulting his girlfriend Shana Ann Rose after he spent the night in a police cell following his arrest on Thursday night.
The Liverpool winger appeared at the city's magistrates court on Friday to answer the charge against the 19-year-old model after he was arrested at 10.30pm in Page Moss, Merseyside.
A Merseyside Police spokesman said: ‘Raheem Sterling, 18, of Woolton, was charged with Section 39 common assault. Sterling was remanded in custody to appear at Liverpool Magistrates' Court today.’



Speaking last month about the challenges he has faced, the 18-year-old, who was born in Jamaica and raised in London, said he was ready to put the dip behind him and push on.
'I didn’t think so at the time, but the break I had probably did me good,' he told the Liverpool Echo. 'You want to play as many games as you can but mentally as well as physically I probably needed a rest.
'At the time there were a few things going on off the field. That time I spent out means I’m raring to go for the new season.
'Now it’s up to me. I need to kick-on and prove I really did deserve those call-ups; that it wasn’t just a fluke. I have a lot to prove this season.'

Innocent until proven guilty and all that

Liverpool FC star Raheem Sterling spent the night behind bars after being charged with common assault after an alleged blazing row with his model girlfriend.

The 18-year-old winger was arrested by police after the incident in Page Moss, Merseyside, where he is said to have assaulted his lover Shana Halliday.

Jamaican-born Sterling was locked up overnight by Merseyside Police and appeared at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court yesterday (FRI) where he pleaded not guilty.

Sterling, who lives in the leafy Liverpool suburb of Woolton, has been dating beauty pageant finalist for nearly three years since he joined the club in 2010.

Sterling appeared at Liverpool Magistrates' Court in Dale Street, to answer a Section 39 Common Assault charge and was remanded on bail until September, 20.

Reports suggest that the couple where driving when the assault began and his black Range Rover Evoke came to a screeching halt, before the altercation continued in the street.

The couple had earlier been celebrating her 20th birthday with a meal out and the row is understood to have taken place afterwards.

A Merseyside Police statement read: "Merseyside Police can confirm an 18 year-old man was arrested and subsequently charged with assault following an incident (Thursday, 8 August) in Page Moss.

"Raheem Sterling, 18, of Woolton was charged with Section 39 Common Assault."

The England under 21 international joined the Reds from Queens Park Rangers in 2010 and has emerged as a first team regular under Brendan Rodgers.

Liverpool FC starlet Raheem Sterling spent the night in the cells after being arrested and charged with assault.

The 18-year-old winger appeared at Liverpool magistrates' court this morning to face the charge.

Police said Sterling was arrested at around 10.30pm in Page Moss "following an incident".

He was subsequently charged with common assault and held in custody overnight.

Sterling was born in Jamaica but moved to London with his family when he was five and grew up on a council estate close to Wembley Stadium.

He was spotted by QPR and joined them as an 11-year-old.

In February 2010 he made the switch to Liverpool for £500,000 and made the breakthrough into regular first team action under Brendan Rodgers last season.

I really object to this style of reporting. His background has been brought up because he has been involved in an incident, as if to imply that it is his upbringing as an immigrant that is the actual root to the cause of the incident.

This is Daily Mail territory and I find it pretty abhorrent tbh.

Sorry mate

Haha - not you.

I remember John Barnes in the 80s (it may have even been an interview on Wogan) saying that any negative articles about him always referred to him as "Jamaican born John Barnes", and the positive ones wouldn't. He was acutely aware of it, and resented it. This is exactly the same.

Yeah good point. It's completely irrelevant.

[RedReet]

I take it the rest of the Squad are in Dublin now, meaning he's unlikely to play tomorrow?

[frank the tank]

Being brought up in a council house has nothing to do with anything......

Although he is more likely to be a woman-beater having been brought up in a councie.....

[Bender]

Already it seems he is going down the wrong path in life....hope he and the club can sort things out now

[baitman]

its certainly not the first time sterling has found himself in bother.
he really needs to realise his fortunate position and learn to be a little less 'high profile' when it comes to drawing attention to himself.
for the good of his career and the club he needs to learn to walk away from any grief or people who are potentially going to drag him down.

Or maybe he should just look to improve himself as a human being irrespective of the profession he finds himself in.

Either that, or give it up and move back into a council house obviously.

i am only concerned about his behaviour because he is a player for my team. if he was a just another kid who was getting himself into bother then i really wouldnt be arsed about him.
for his own sake he should look to improve his behaviour, irrespective of his profession, but his job and the wages, high profile and responsibilities that goes with it will increase the burden on this lad, maybe making it more difficult to shed his bad boy image.
