Storm warning for English football. Mason Greenwood, one of the most promising footballers of his generation is in the middle of a case that could well send him to prison. The 20-year-old was arrested at his home last Sunday and taken into custody after suspicions of domestic violence and sexual assault against his girlfriend, Harriet Robson. The young woman posted on her Instagram account photos and an audio recording of what the footballer allegedly did to her.
If she deleted her stories shortly after, the photos quickly spread on social networks and Mason Greenwood was arrested by the police. Pogba and Varane’s Manchester team-mate comes from elsewhere today to be released and placed under judicial supervision, Greater Manchester Police said in a statement, without specifying the identity of the person, but British media managed to identify him. Asked by AFP, a police spokeswoman confirmed that “the man (had) been released under judicial supervision for everything” what he is accused of.
New charges are pending against him
Suspended by his club at the time of the events, Mason Greenwood has also seen new charges weigh down his file since he is targeted by new sexual assault charges and death threats, as reported by English media. Facts that have allowed the extension of the athlete’s custody until today. “At this stage of the investigations, he has been arrested again on suspicion of sexual assault and death threats”Manchester police said.
Mason Greenwood was therefore placed under judicial supervision and is now awaiting the rest of the procedure.
