Embattled Manchester City defender, Benjamin Mendy, who allegedly raped a young woman has told a jury that he had slept over 10,000 women in his lifetime.
The French international is accused of attacking the woman, 24 at the time, at his home in Mottram St Andrew, Cheshire, in October 2020.
The 28-year-old is also accused of the attempted rape of another woman, aged 29 at the time, who claimed the footballer attacked her at his home two years before.
Mendy, who is standing trial at Chester Crown Court, denied both charges.
The jury, which was comprised of six women and six men, has been told by trial Judge, Stephen Everett, the Recorder of Chester, that Mendy was found innocent of sexual offences alleged by other women after a trial that ended in January.
Everett noted that the jury could not reach verdicts on the two charges of rape and attempted rape, hence his re-trial on those two charges.
