Benjamin Mendy cleared of raping women at his mansion

Ben­jamin Mendy has been cleared of rap­ing a women dur­ing a par­ty where his vic­tim was con­fined at his seclud­ed mansion.

The Man City star was accused of being a “preda­tor” who “made a game of chas­ing women for sex­u­al purposes.”

Mendy, 28, is also said to have locked his vic­tim in a “pan­ic room” and hid her mobile phone so she could not escape.

But the French inter­na­tion­al was today acquit­ted of six counts of rape and one of the sex­u­al assaults of four women.

A jury failed to reach a ver­dict of one rape and one attempt­ed rape against two oth­er alleged vic­tims, so he could face a retrial.

In a six-month tri­al, jurors were told that Left­back lured a young woman into “harm­ful and dan­ger­ous” sit­u­a­tions in her six-bed­room Cheshire home.

Co-defen­dant Louis Saha Mat­turie was alleged to have act­ed as Mendy’s “fix­er” by send­ing a 17-year-old girl to the clos­ing par­ty after spend­ing the night drink­ing £1,500 of cham­pagne in the VIP sec­tion of the club.

Some vic­tims said their phones were tak­en away upon arrival and they were unable to call for help.

Once inside, the women were treat­ed like “dis­pos­ables … used for sex and then thrown out,” he said.

How­ev­er, his attor­ney Eleanor Rose KC asked the jury to put an end to Mendy’s “absolute hell” and acquit him.

She said the claim that he used his fame to attack women (an accu­sa­tion that com­pared him to Jim­my Sav­ille) was “absolute­ly ridiculous.”

“He’s not the kind of per­son who would inten­tion­al­ly hurt any­one under any cir­cum­stances,” Rose told the court.

If he can’t claim to be a “glut­to­nous mon­ster”, he deserves to be acquitted.

“One word” is a match.

“Life as he knew it is over, in foot­ball, in Eng­land — from these alle­ga­tions he can nev­er escape”.

Sev­er­al celebri­ties were dragged into the tri­al, includ­ing Mendy’s Man City teammates.

One of the women claims to have had sex with Eng­land hero Jack Gre­al­ish at an “after­par­ty”.

After­wards, she texted her friend, “I slept with Jack Grealish.”

Kyle Walk­er was also present at one of Mendy’s man­sion par­ties in July 2021.
