Sex maniac Benjamin Mendy/ Accused of seven rapes, the footballer speaks for the

Faced with seven counts of rape, attempted rape and sexual assault, Benjamin Mendy took the floor for the first time to defend himself on Monday during his UK trial. Answering questions from his lawyer, the left-wing defender denied non-consensual relations and claimed the women "came to him on their own".

While he admitted that he "liked sleeping with a lot of women", the Frenchman clarified that "if they (the women) wanted to have sex and so did I, everything was fine". But if a woman had said "No," he would have "accepted it and stopped."

The 28-year-old French defender, suspended for more than a year by Manchester City, has been on trial since early August in Chester, Northern England. The facts are alleged to have taken place between October 2018 and August 2021 at his home in Prestbury, Cheshire. He faces up to life in prison after the charges.

The first months of this long trial were devoted to the prosecution, which presented Benjamin Mendin as a "predator" who abused "vulnerable, terrified and isolated" victims. Released in early January, he was placed under judicial supervision pending trial after spending more than four months, from August 2021 to January 2022, in custody.

He is on trial alongside another man, Louis Saha Matturie, no relation to former footballer Louis Saha, who is also being prosecuted for six counts of rape and three counts of sexual assault. They have both pleaded not guilty.
