Benjamin Mendy Man city defender has arrived at Chester Crown Court to face trial on charges of attempted rape against one woman and rape against another. The trial is expected to last between two and three weeks, and Mendy has firmly denied the allegations. The specific accusations are that he allegedly attempted to rape a woman in 2018 and raped another woman in October 2020.
Mendy has been absent from Manchester City’s lineup for quite some time, and it has been confirmed that he will be departing the club as his contract expires at the end of June. The club suspended him following his arrest in August 2021.
Having joined Manchester City in 2017 from Monaco for a transfer fee of £52 million, the French footballer, despite dealing with frequent injuries, achieved three Premier League titles and several domestic cups during his time at the club.
The trial will proceed with the presentation of evidence and testimonies as the court seeks to establish the truth behind the charges brought against Mendy. The footballer’s denial of the allegations underscores the gravity of the legal proceedings, which will continue to unfold in the coming weeks.
