Manchester City player Mendy was arrested last August on charges of rape. After a year of review, the British court began to hear Mendy last month, and the entire case involved 8 cases of rape, 1 case of sexual harassment, 1 case of attempted rape, a total of 7 victims, and the trial will last for 15 weeks, which can be described as a protracted day.
Because the suspect is a global celebrity, Mendy's case was tried in public, and the British media also carried out a long follow-up report on it. As the trial progresses, the direction of the case is becoming more and more out of people's original imagination.
The court has heard the cases of three victims so far. The latest one is called the "Showgirl" because a video of her dancing with Mendy is playing in court, showing Mendy's upper body naked and his pants on the lower body being pulled open.
According to the "Showgirl", on the day of the crime, she went to a party held by Mendy's house, she first stayed in the swimming pool for a while, then found a bedroom in Mendy's house to sleep, when she woke up to find Mendy pressing on her, so she immediately rejected the other party because she was in a physiological period.
It was rare for a girl to swim during her normal years, and what was even more incomprehensible was that she went to Mendy's house 11 times after that. Mendy's lawyer asked the "showgirl" in court why she visited Mendy's house so often after she confessed to being raped, saying it was to try to erase the matter from her mind.
In the three cases that have been tried, there are more or less controversies similar to those of "showgirls". The second case is even more topical.
The second victim, known as the "20 Seconds Woman," also attended a party hosted by Mendy's house on the day of the crime, during which she and Mendy entered the home's private theater alone, the two began talking and kissing, and then Mendy raped her. According to 20 Seconds Woman, Mendy had told her before committing the crime: "I'm very small, don't worry." The entire crime process lasted only 20 seconds.
"20 Seconds" did not report the incident until after Mendy's arrest, when the police contacted her while investigating the case, and she confided all this to the police. When asked why the case was not reported, the "20 Seconds Woman" said that she did not know how to deal with the matter at the time.
The victims of the first case heard by the court were known as "bath women". At the time of the crime, the victim was bathing in the bathroom of the master bedroom of Mendy's house, and Mendy sexually assaulted her at this time.
One of the points of contention in this case is that the "bath woman" claimed that the crime was dated October 23, 2018, and the crime occurred at Mendy's home in Cheshire, England. According to the calendar, Mendy is playing with Manchester City in Ukraine for the Champions League match against Shakhtar Donetsk on this day, and played a full 90 minutes in his debut.
After Mendy's arrest, City quickly punished him for stopping all work, the 28-year-old Mendy has not received formal training for more than a year, and after the expiration of his contract with Manchester City next year, he may no longer be able to stand in the first-class league, and if convicted, he will even face a huge claim from Manchester City.
Mendy has now been portrayed by public opinion as an unforgivable adulterer, and this trial has somewhat broken the imagination of the outside world, and these three victims are not absolutely innocent. However, "a knife on the head of the color word" is always true, if Mendy himself does not engage in these messy things, he will not bury his great career.
