Cleared one count due to the prosecution not having enough evidence to progress with, I have a feeling that the other counts may go the same way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddle93 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Isn't there 1 where they have phone records of her telling mates how fit he his and how good it was so assume that's another that will be cleared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toppOwl Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 I've taken a few things from following the trial: Footballers earn far too much money. Mendy was using his fame/money to attract girls to use for sex. It's very odd that girls who claim they were raped by him or his PA Louis Saha Matturie would then socialise with him and re-attend his house where they were allegedly raped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fudge27 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 The evidence is quite damming for the Victims there. One thing that really irks me is how men can be named as rape suspects, and found not guilty, but have that stigma over them forevermore, where women who report rape are rightly granted anonymity. Surely it should be that way for both parties until the verdict is known, and if guilty a name could be released for the man? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 There’s a lot to unpack. Just from that one article alone. It must be hard being on jury duty for this type of thing. We probably can’t discuss an ongoing case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is once the jury has heard that some of her testimony is lies it's hard to look at the other parts of it from an unbiased position...especially when some of them went back to another party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toppOwl Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 The case has been adjourned until 17th October as two jury members have covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Jack Grealish also mentioned by most women, but not seen any accusations of rape from him. One woman boasting she "I slept with jack Grealish ha ha ha" to her friend, on the same night she accused Mendy. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12723912/benjamin-mendy-trial-court-hears-woman-had-sex-with-jack-grealish-and-another-man-on-night-she-was-raped-by-mendys-friend Proper mess this case.

It's hard to know what the truth is. There's nothing in the allegations aimed at Grealish he was just there. The bragging texts to friends and the continued interaction with Mendy AFTER the alleged rapes doesn't sit well at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I don't the relevance of any of the women's comments really. So what if she said he was 'fit' or they socialised with him and went back to his house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don’t think that they should l do Pretty dangerous to be writing the playbook on how women should behave before, during or after a rape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
