Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy allegedly asked police “How many stories like this do you have?” when he was arrested and cautioned for rape. According to an officer who went to Mendy's house, the footballer, 28, asked the question as he was being arrested for allegedly raping a woman three times in his “locked” bedroom during a party in October 2020.
Prosecutor Timothy Cray QC read out the statement of PC Luke Browczuk who went to the French international's home after the woman reported him to police several weeks later in November 2020. He said that, when he cautioned Mendy and asked if he understood, the footballer’s response was: “I understand what you are doing, your job and stuff. How many stories like this do you have?”
Mendy is accused of a total of eight counts of rape, one count of attempted rape and another count of sexual assault. He denies all charges.
