Andy Carroll Faces Jail Time for Breaching Restraining Order

Former Newcastle, Liverpool, and Bordeaux footballer Andy Carroll is facing criminal charges for breaching a restraining order imposed on him in a sexual harassment case. The 36-year-old was arrested after arriving on a flight from France at Stansted Airport and is due to appear in court on Tuesday. If convicted, he faces a possible prison sentence of up to five years. Restraining orders are designed to prevent a person from approaching another, and their violation carries criminal penalties. Carroll's wealth is estimated at £25 million.
