Manchester City defender, Benjamin Mendy has been charged with another two counts of rape, the Crown Prosecution Service declared
Benjamin Mendy now faces six counts of rape and one of sexual assault which relate to four complainants over the age of 16, and will now appear at Stockport Magistrates’ Court on November 17.
The 27-year-old former Marseille and Monaco defender had previously been charged with four counts of rape and one sexual assault and has been kept in HMP Altcourse since his first appearance in court in August, after a number of bail applications were made but refused by judges.
He was also charged with raping a woman in August this year. The alleged attacks are said to have happened at his home address on Withinlee Road in Prestbury, Cheshire.
All the alleged offences relate to four women over the age of 16 and are alleged to have taken place between October 2020 and August 2021.
A co-accused, Louis Saha Matturie, 40, who is also in custody has also been charged with two additional counts of rape and one of sexual assault and now faces six rape charges in all relating to four complainants said to have taken place between March 2021 and August 2021.
The statement from police added: “Cheshire Constabulary and the Crown Prosecution Service would like to remind everyone that criminal proceedings against Matturie and Mendy are live and that they have a right to a fair trial.”
Both men are scheduled to go on trial on January 24, 2022.
