Benjamin Mendy trial: the prosecution castigates a “predator”

It is a very important and long-awaited day, which begins Wednesday, August 18 at the court in Chester (United Kingdom). Must take place the first hearing, in front of the jury, of a supposed victim of Benjamin Mendy. The big question that will arise during these fifteen weeks of trial during which testimonials who will multiply is to what extent the young women had shown their non-consent. For the prosecutor of the Chester court, the situation is already quite clear, since on the first day of the examination and the presentation of the charges, he described Benjamin Mendy as a “predator”.

He also described a system or organization, with many evenings at his home. The phones of some victims were also confiscated. A friend of Benjamin Mendy, also accused of rape, would have been responsible for finding young women and inviting them to the home of the French footballer, sometimes for payment. Benjamin Mendy is accused of eight rapes and faces life imprisonment, explains franceinfo London correspondent Matthieu Boisseau.
