A new trial opens for the French international footballer Benjamin Mendy, from Monday June 26. Found not guilty of six counts of rape, in particular, at the beginning of the year, he is still the subject of two charges of rape and attempted rape.
French footballer and international Benjamin Mendy is once again facing justice. He returns to Chester Crown Court (UK) to face two charges of rape and attempted rape. He had been found not guilty of six counts of rape and one of sexual assault earlier this year by a popular jury. However, the latter was unable to agree on a decision on the two remaining cases.
Accused of raping a woman in a room where she was locked up
A 29-year-old woman accuses him of attempting to rape her while she was showering in a guest bedroom in 2018. The other complainant, 24, accuses her of rape that he would have committed in 2020 in his room, the door of which was locked by a code. Mendy assures him that she could open up from within. 12 new jurors will decide on his potential guilt. He has always denied all the charges.
