Benjamin Mendy Begins Trial For Rape
According to reports, Manchester City fullback Benjamin Mendy will begin his trial today for eight counts of rape. It can be recalled that the 28-year-old was accused of one count of sexual assault and one count of attempted rape although he denies all charges.
The case is expected to be open for prosecution by Timothy Cray QC before the Chester Crown Court jury. Meanwhile, the names of other stars such as Raheem Sterling, now at Chelsea, Riyad Mahrez, John Stones, Kyle Walker, and Jack Grealish were read to jurors last week ahead of the trial.
This was done to ensure that none of the jurors had any personal connection to anyone who could be mentioned during the trial or be called as a witness.
