Mendy found not guilty of one count of rape as trial continues

LONDON, Sept 14 — Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy has been found not guilty of the rape of a 19-year-old woman on the direction of a judge presiding over his trial for multiple alleged sexual offences.

Earlier, jurors were told of a private video of the woman having what was described as “enthusiastic” sex with Matturie, when she claimed she had been raped. Lisa Wilding, defending Matturie, suggested what happened between them was “consensual, willing and enthusiastic” sex, not rape, the court heard.Wilding said: “I’m going to have to ask you to look at some images.” The hearing was adjourned and when court resumed after lunch, Timothy Cray, prosecuting, said the prosecution was no longer seeking guilty verdicts on alleged sexual offences involving the 19-year-old complainant.
