Benjamin Mendy Acquitted of Rape Charges

Former Manchester City footballer Benjamin Mendy has been found not guilty of raping a woman and attempting to rape another. The 28-year-old was accused of attacking a 24-year-old woman at his mansion in Cheshire in October 2020, as well as attempting to rape another woman two years prior. Mendy had previously been cleared of six counts of rape and one count of sexual assault in a separate trial. His contract with Manchester City expired earlier this month.
