It has taken some time for Benjamin Mendy’s case to reach the trial stage, and we have already heard many horrible details about the accusations that have been made against him.
His ongoing trial at Chester Crown Court sees him charged with eight counts of rape and one count of attempted rape which he denies, however the allegations that have been made are appalling to say the least.
Today I saw testimony from one of the victims who cannot be named for legal reasons, but she confirms that after attending a party at Mendy’s residence, “All I remember is waking up with Ben on top of me.”
She went on to say that she was taken to the bed of one of Mendy’s friends after getting drunk in the part and falling asleep alone, however, she was woken up to find Mendy having sex with her from behind. She also added:
“He was inside of me. I remember saying that he didn’t want to do anything because he had his period. It was only a few seconds and I remember him taking it out.”
Needless to say, she couldn’t have consented because she was asleep, but she also confirmed that she didn’t really know him very well and had no intention of having sex with him that day.
It was also learned that one of his friends alleged that Mendy did something similar to him that same night.
The trial continues…
