Shocking statement by a victim against the footballer Mendy, accused of rape and sexual abuse

The trial against Benjamin Mendithe French defender suspended for Manchester City up to his judicial situation, he added a new testimony: a woman detailed in a video call before the jury how the champion of the Russia 2018 World Cup touched his genitals.

“I was wearing underwear but I could feel his fingers in my vagina. I was shocked,” he told the camera and explained in detail how the footballer continued. “He stuck out his tongue as if he was licking it. I was confused. My friend came to the bathroom and I immediately told her, “explained the person who offered her victim statement.

The sexual assault he detailed before Chester Court allegedly took place on January 2, 2021 at Mendy’s home, which he witnessed along with two other friends who had also previously reported abuse.

“Everyone had a great time playing and drinking. At three in the morning I would walk to the island and he would return that way. He touched my vagina. I turned to go to the bathroom thinking: what just happened? “Said the 20-year-old complainant.

“He came to open the door and I went to the bathroom. We were face to face and he gestured to give me oral sex. The conversation between him and me was minimal. I just introduced myself and that’s it “, remarked the woman who explained the reasons why she, after the detailed episode, she did not leave the place.

“I was drunk and thought I’d take a taxi and leave the car there,” she admitted and listed how the hours continued. He met a small group of people by the pool, who suggested he “go to the laundromat to get a bathing suit,” which he did. He continued to drink in that area, while trying to avoid the landlord.

“I kept my distance from him. He came to me a couple of times, but I kept my distance. He approached my face and said, ‘You are more beautiful when you smile. Why are you angry?’ for the way you touched me “or” for what you did “. He said he was very sorry and he didn’t want to make me uncomfortable. He was almost childish. He was like he was scolding him and he realized what he had done, “he said.

In her testimony, the woman recalled leaving the pool “around 6” and Mendy asked her if she wanted dry underwear. “We went upstairs and he gave it to me. I asked him to leave the room while I was getting dressed and he did it immediately,” she admitted.

The complainant is the third person who reported the abuse during that morning and in the same place. In his testimony of him, he assured that he had not met Mendy before that evening, even though one of his friends had had contact with the footballer and that was why they were invited.

More cases

The 28-year-old French defender was suspended from Manchester City last year and went to court for eight rapes, one attempted rape and one sexual assault on seven women.

The prosecution presented him as a “predator” who abused “vulnerable, terrified and isolated” victims, while Mendy denies the ten charges filed against him for events that would take place between October 2018 and August 2021 at his home in Prestbury, Cheshire.

On one of the days last week, another alleged victim assured that the footballer tried to bribe her to avoid the complaint he eventually filed: she says she was raped three times in a room that arrived deceived by Mendy.

“Don’t tell anyone and you can come back here every night,” said the 20-year-old woman. The alleged victim said she met the footballer and her friends of his during an outing at a place near Mendy’s home in October 2020 and agreed to go there later.

According to her account, while she was consulting her phone, Mendy snatched it from her and accused her of photographing her. Once home, she followed him into the bedroom “whose opening was activated by the fingerprint” and once she entered, the door closed automatically.

“Look, I want my phone, I don’t know what you’re thinking. I don’t want to have sex with you,” he recalled saying and the player’s response, according to the woman, was “the door is closed anyway.” In this context, Mendy allegedly forced her to undress and raped her three times in about twenty minutes.

“My body was so tense, it hurt so much,” she said, saying she had bled after this forced intercourse. And she assured that Mendy, after her rapes, had called her “shy”, she had bragged about having had intercourse with “10,000 women” and had tried to get her silence in exchange for her return to the following days.

“As if it were a privilege to come every night to do this with him,” the young woman told the jury.
