Benjamin Mendy NOT GUILTY of six counts of rape but faces retrial with jurors deadlocked on two further counts
Manchester City’s star Benjamin Mendy has been found not guilty of six counts of rape - but faces a retrial after jurors were left deadlocked on the other two charges he faced.
Meanwhile his co-defendant, 41-year-old Louis Saha Matturie, Mr Mendy's alleged 'fixer’, was unanimously found not guilty of three counts of rape, allegedly committed against two women. He is also due to attend court for a pre trial review on January 27. Mr Matturie's trial is due to start on the week commencing September 18, with a pre-trial review set for March 24.
They alleged Mr Matturie, from Eccles, acted as his 'fixer' and arranged for women to attend parties at Mr Mendy's home after nights spent drinking in VIP lounges at Manchester nightclubs. Part way through the trial, the judge ordered the jury to find both men not guilty on all charges relating to another woman after a ‘sex video’ emerged of her having 'consensual, enthusiastic and willing sex’ sex with Mr Matturie, at a time she claimed he had raped her.
