Troubled Manchester City FC defender Benjamin Mendy is a ‘serial predatory rapist’, prosecutor Tim Cray KC told a jury of eight men and four women in a court in the UK.
Tim Cray KC during court proceedings today, compared Benjamin Mendy to Jimmy Savile as he was branded a ‘serial predatory rapist’ by the lawyer prosecuting him at trial.
The prosecutor told the court that just like Savile, Mendy had used his celebrity status to hide his dark side and also alleged that his co-accused and so-called fixer Louis Saha Matturie, 41, is living in an ‘unreal word ‘ featuring ‘arrogant assumptions that every woman who came to their parties was good for s3x’.
‘’For all the good sides to Benjamin Mendy’s character, there is a dangerous streak which makes him a predator. We say a predatory serial rapist.
‘We say that Matturie shares the same dangerous streak toward young women he meets and has taken opportunity to have sex with woman half his age.

‘’The situations that these complainants were walking into were toxic and dangerous. The danger was created by the defendants. The parties had an ever-changing cast of young women where the defendants had knowledge and control.
‘’It gave them the opportunity to abuse that knowledge and power. The defendants were, and still are, living in an unreal world. Mr. Mendy has conceded that it was only prison which brought him up short and made him start to change his ways.
‘’But that concession goes nowhere near far enough. The defendants still cannot face up to what they did or to the real harm they caused.’
