The 28-year-old was accused of raping a woman in 2020 and the attempted rape of another woman two years prior.But after a retrial he has been cleared of those too, and the footballer wept as he was found not guilty.
"This is the second time that Mr Mendy has been tried and found not guilty by the jury. He is delighted that both juries reached the correct verdict," the representative said.Mendy had denied the offences, which were alleged to have taken place at his Cheshire mansion.She had been out with friend at a bar in Aderley Edge, near where Mendy lived, when he invited them back to his home.
It was also alleged that three years earlier, he met a different woman, a student who was aged 29 at the time. She visited him at Mendy's house and stayed there after a night out in October 2018, and that Mendy tried to rape her in the bedroom she stayed in before she managed to get away.He said in the latter case, he had told the woman his friend said it was OK for them to have sex, but she became upset so he left the room.
