These days, Benjamin Mendy is facing a trial to decide his future. And it’s looking pretty grim, as the evidence is strongly against him. The French international is accused of raping 8 women and 2 other attempted rapes.

Mendy is facing charges of eight rapes on seven different women and two more attempted rapes, as well as a charge of sexual aggression. The offences were alleged to have happened between 2018 and 2021.

The Manchester City footballer was picked up by police in August 2021 and has been in prison awaiting trial since. The 28-year-old defender’s trial began on Monday, with the prosecution saying at the opening of the case that Mendy had made a ‘game’ of searching for sex victims and that he had crossed the line of consent on several occasions.

The Times reports that details of Mendy’s rape were heard in court. The 2018 world champion threw a pool party at his luxury home where he invited his victims. He then raped three women in one evening.

In court, Mendy was described by the prosecution as a predator who showed complete indifference and insensitivity in front of his victims.

The prosecution also alleged that Mendy, along with his friend Louis Saha, chased the women and brought them to the party with the sole purpose of raping them.

During the trial, two female witnesses also said that Mendy locked them in rooms that he locked and would not let them out. He also removed their phones when they entered his Cheshire mansion, citing as the reason that he did not want coach Pep Guardiola to see him on Instagram with lots of girls.

Mendy has pleaded not guilty to all the offences he is accused of. Several of his Manchester City teammates are also expected to testify in court.
