Benjamin Mendy’s ‘rape victim’ says she didn’t have sex with Jack Grealish after another woman made the claim

A woman who claims she was raped by Manchester City star, Benjamin Mendy has said she did not have sex with his team-mate Jack Grealish as claimed by another woman.

The 17-year-old complainant had claimed she was attacked by Mendy, 28, and co-accused Louis Saha Matturie, 41, at the footballer’s mansion in Cheshire.

Last week the court heard the 17-year-old said to police that a 23-year-old woman, who also alleges Matturie raped her, told her on the night she had sex with Grealish.

On Monday September 27, in further police interviews she said Matturie also mentioned to her the woman had “been together” with the former Aston Villa winger.

Three or four of Grealish’ friends from Birmingham came to the party after she earlier arrived in a taxi which followed a Range Rover in which Grealish was a passenger, she said.

The complainant said his friends were “quite pleasant” and “quite normal”, and there was “nothing suggestive or weird” in their conversations.

Grealish went on to compliment her “beautiful eyes” as she entered the swimming pool at the mansion and he walked out.

She said she replied: “Thank you.” Later she saw Grealish “fast asleep” in the house. She told detectives: “I remember him being quite drunk.”

The woman said she had not previously met Grealish and only “knew of him just off the TV”. She said the footballer and his friends did not do anything that made her feel uncomfortable.
