The ex-Newcastle United, Liverpool, and West Ham striker, aged 37, is accused of committing the offence in Epping, Essex, on 11 March 2025.

During the brief 10-minute hearing, Carroll confirmed his name and plea and expressed gratitude to Judge Mary Loram KC at the conclusion.

"You must attend your trial. If you don't, not only could that be a criminal offence in its own right, but you would also lose the right to give evidence in your defence.
What's important, please, is you keep in contact with your solicitors."

Background and Career

Carroll signed with National League South club Dagenham and Redbridge in the summer of 2025, returning to England after playing for French teams Amiens and Bordeaux.

He scored two goals in nine appearances for England between 2010 and 2012, including at the UEFA Euro 2012 tournament.

Non-Molestation Order Details

A non-molestation order is a court injunction designed to prevent an individual from contacting another person. It may also prohibit someone from approaching within a certain distance of a specified address or workplace.

Penalties for breaching such an order can range from fines to imprisonment of up to five years in the most serious cases.
