Former Footballer Barton Found Libellous Against Aluko
High Court rules Joey Barton's online posts against Eni Aluko defamatory.
Former England striker Eni Aluko says she welcomes the ruling. The first stage of a High Court libel case has found that ex-footballer Joey Barton libelled Aluko in online posts. Barton made defamatory statements about her and her family. Aluko, 38, expressed her satisfaction with the ruling. Barton, 42, has yet to respond and could appeal.
Aluko scored 33 international goals before retiring and moving to broadcasting. Barton has pleaded not guilty in a separate criminal case for offensive comments.
