I’ve Slept With Over 10,000 Women – Popular Football Star Tells Court

Embattled Manchester City defender, Benjamin Mendy, who raped a young woman has told a jury that he has had sex with more than 10,000 women in his lifetime.

The French international is accused of attacking the woman, 24 at the time, at his home in Mottram St Andrew, Cheshire, in October 2020.

The 28-year-old is also accused of the attempted rape of another woman, aged 29 at the time, who claimed the footballer also attacked her at his home two years before.

Mendy, who is standing trial at Chester Crown Court, denies both charges.

The jury, which was comprised of six women and six men, has been told by trial Judge Stephen Everett, the Recorder of Chester, that Mendy was found not guilty of sexual offences alleged by other women after a trial that ended in January this year.

Everett noted that the jury could not reach verdicts on the two charges of rape and attempted rape, hence his re-trial on those two charges.
