Former Manchester United ace Ryan Giggs is alleged to have headbutted his girlfriend as she tried to flee from their relationship after she found out he was cheating on her. A court has heard their relationship was "toxic" and how Giggs is said to have subjected Kate Greville, 36, to a "litany of abuse, both physical and psychological".
The 48-year-old has been accused of controlling and coercive behaviour against ex-girlfriend Kate Greville between August 2017 and November 2020. He has been charged with assaulting Ms Greville and causing her actual bodily harm at his home in November 2020 and common assault against her younger sister, Emma, in the same alleged incident. Giggs denies all charges, as writes the Mirror.
After a jury of seven women and five men was sworn in at Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court after lunchtime by Judge Hilary Manley, prosecutor Peter Wright QC said that Giggs was "idolised by fans" but "there was, we say, a much uglier and more sinister side to his character - a private life that involved a litany of abuse".
