Stuart Hogg Pressured to Relinquish MBE After Plea

Former Scotland rugby captain Stuart Hogg has pleaded guilty to domestic abuse charges against his estranged wife Gillian, spanning a five-year period. The abusive behavior included sending over 200 alarming messages in a few hours, tracking her movements, and creating a fearful home environment. Hogg, who has received an MBE for his rugby achievements, is now facing calls to relinquish the honor due to his conviction. His sentencing has been deferred until December 5th as the court awaits further background reports. Hogg's current partner, Leonna Mayor, is standing by him amid the legal proceedings and has announced they are expecting a child. The case has sparked debate on whether Hogg should voluntarily return his MBE or face it being stripped from him if he refuses.
