Man City’s Benjamin Mendy charged with rape as more details emerge
40 year old Louis Saha Matturie from Salford, also appeared at Chester Crown Court charged with four counts of rape, but neither of the males were asked to enter a plea and both were remanded in custody.
Mendy is now expected to appear in Stockport Magistrates’ Court on the 17th of November.
Eleanor Laws QC, defending the player, said there would be an application to dismiss the charges at this month’s hearing.
The alleged attacks, on three different women including one under 18, are said to have happened at his home address in Prestbury.
Mr Mendy only spoke to confirm his name during the 45-minute hearing and winked to a man in the public gallery as he was led back down to the cells.
He was refused bail last month and is currently on remand at HMP Altcourse in Liverpool.

The France international had been playing for last season’s Premier League champions since 2017, when he joined from Monaco for a reported £52m, with his last City appearance coming in a league defeat at Tottenham on the 15th of August.
He was suspended by the club on the 26th of August after being charged by police, pending an investigation.
But fast forward to today and the Crown Prosecution Service has said the Manchester City footballer has been charged with two additional counts of rape.
The charges relate to four complainants over the age of 16.

They say: Rape and sexual assault can happen to women and men of all ages and backgrounds. While most visits abroad are trouble-free, we are becoming more aware of people being sexually assaulted whilst they are overseas. Sexual assault is a very traumatic experience whenever and wherever it happens, but the trauma can be made even more difficult to deal with when it happens abroad. We will be as helpful as we can to anyone who tells us they have had sex against their wishes or been attacked by someone wanting sex.

All member centres share a ‘survivor-centred’ and anti-discriminatory approach.

In order to minimise stress on your holiday or trip, take time to plan your personal safety strategy in advance. From keeping your valuables safe to avoiding violence, a little forethought may save you from becoming a victim of crime.
