Benjamin Mendy found not guilty of six counts of rape (BBC News)

The Manchester City footballer faces a retrial on two counts the jury could not reach verdicts on.

Matthew Conway, prosecuting, said: "The prosecution has made a decision. The prosecution has sought a retrial on the two counts the jury failed to reach a verdict on and it has been scheduled for 26 June. The jury failed to reach a verdict on three counts of rape and three counts of sexual assault against Mr Matturie. Mr Mendy's lawyer said he was "delighted" to have been cleared of sex attacks on four women and looked forward to clearing his name at a retrial over two other allegations and "rebuilding his life". The jury failed to reach verdicts on one count of rape and one of attempted rape and a retrial will take place. But after 14 days of deliberation, jurors could not reach verdicts on Mr Mendy's alleged attempted rape of a woman, 29, in 2018 and the alleged rape of another woman, 24, in October 2020.

Former French international will face another trial after no verdicts reached on one charge of rape and one of attempted rape.

Come forward and we will listen to you, we will take action and we will provide you with the support that you need.” The jury was unable to reach verdicts on six other counts against the 41-year-old: four alleged rapes against three women and the alleged sexual assault of two women. He said he reflected on his behaviour while sitting in his cell, and realised only then that it was possible to “hurt” women’s feelings even “if we were both OK to have sex”. Mendy will go on trial over the two remaining charges on 26 June – two and half years after he was first arrested. In a statement issued by his solicitors after the verdicts, Mendy said he was “delighted” with the acquittals. Mendy, who appeared close to tears in the court dock, had been accused of being a “predator” who turned the pursuit of women for sex into a game during parties, some held during Covid lockdowns, at his £4.8m home.

"He drips in designer. He stressed to the court, though, that if a woman ever said "no", he would "be fine", adding: "I'd accept it and I'd stop." He said he had never considered contraception and added that it was "normal" for him to have sex with a number of different women. "You can tell a mile off he's a footballer, as they all have similar dress sense," she said. He told the court it was "honestly so easy" for him to meet women and have sex with them. "All my life, I have never had the time to really think about what I was doing," he said. Appearing for the defence, he told the court Mendy had suffered a number of long-term injuries and was "not the perfect professional". "I was not thinking like how they were feeling or they can be upset because, for me, if they wanted to have sex and I wanted to, everything was fine and I would carry on my partying," he said. She told the court that women, looking "a little worse for wear", were sometimes still there and the house was a "catastrophe", with discarded food and drink lying around. "Underwear I didn't wash, I put it to one side and there was a cupboard for phones and handbags," she said. Ms Deakin said she wanted this "so he had a bit of sanctuary, to lock people out, and that was his safe haven". During Mendy's trial, she said her "role was to look after the first-team players and the management staff in every aspect of their lives".
