Woman came forward after publicity of Manchester City defender’s arrest for raping other women
The Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy tried to rape a woman who had gone to his house to meet another footballer in his entourage, a court has heard.
The woman, who was described by the prosecutor, Timothy Cray QC, as “the opposite of a football groupie”, told police she was introduced to Fofana and Mendy by a club promoter who offered them VIP treatment. “We don’t want to hang around in queues and stuff so we took advantage of the opportunity,” she said in a video interview played to the jury in Wednesday.
In the interview, recorded in January this year, she described how Mendy began to show her unwanted attention in one of the clubs, touching her and saying: “When he’s [Fofana] not looking I’m going to kidnap you.” She described her shock when the footballer came into the bathroom wearing nothing but his boxer shorts, touching his penis and asking to see her naked. “I tried to reach for a towel, and he was saying he just wanted to see me.”
