Benjamin Mendy, a former player for Manchester City, has been cleared of all rape-related charges by the Chester Crown Court.
In October 2020, The French International was charged with raping a lady at his Cheshire home. In addition, he was accused of attempting to rape a 29-year-old woman at his house two years before.
The jury of six men and six women at Chester Crown Court found Benjamin Mendy not guilty despite the fact that he has consistently denied both counts. The defender claimed that every interaction with one of them was voluntary.
The football player had already been cleared of sexual offences against several women, but the jury could not reach a judgement on the remaining two allegations. Several news reporters approached Mendy and inquired about his feelings about being a free man. The man said, “Thank God,”
When Mendy joined City from Monaco for £52 million in 2017, he broke the record for the most expensive defender in the Premier League. He participated in France’s World Cup-winning team in 2018 and won three championships with City.
