LONDON. — Manchester City star Benjamin Mendy has been charged with a fresh rape count on top of the six he is already facing.
The left-back (27) is now accused of seven counts of rape and one of sexual assault against five women aged over 16.
Mendy appeared at Chester Crown Court yesterday from custody where it emerged he has been charged with a further count of rape.
The fresh offence relates to a new complainant and is alleged to have taken place in July this year.
Mendy appeared in the dock alongside Louis Saha Matturie (40), who is accused of six counts of rape and one sexual assault.
Both men were remanded in custody ahead of a hearing on January 7.
A provisional trial date was moved from January to either June 27 or August 1 next year. France international Mendy has been in custody since his first charge in August. The £52 million star was last month charged with two fresh rape counts, which allegedly took place in Macclesfield. — The Sun.
