I don't know who Mendy is, but neither Greenwood nor Giggs have been convicted of anything. Mendy is a Man City left back that they bought from Monaco about 5 years ago. He played against us a few times including at Selhurst park. I think he’s been charged with about five counts of rape.

Despite everything he’s still getting his £75,000 a week wages

Good, piece of sh!t Mason Greenwood remanded in custody on attempted rape charge [Link]
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

Charges dropped!

Key witnesses withdraw statement. What does that mean? they were paid off? Or the police found evidence that shed doubt on the allegations.

It's difficult to tell what the reason was but if there is no witness to say this happened and why, the CPS would then have concluded that it dropped below the 50% threshold of prospects of conviction. In that case, the CPS must to drop the charges on their own rules.

Would that not be sufficient or, presumably still need the witnesses to be questioned. Looks to me like a pay off.

total speculation this but maybe the other party involved didnt want to go through the grief of a court case, friend of mine had a very violent husband, sexual allegations etc, she didnt want to go through court so he got away with it. In which case the DPP should be ashamed for failing to protect this witness.

Let’s hope a clever journalist gets hold of this...and digs up the REAL reason....I can only think the main witness who we know pulled out...unreal really...

I suspect this is part of it, there are abysmally low conviction rates in this country. His defence would that it was rough play and implied to be consensual. The trial then becomes an attempt to prove she didn't consent. Its also been going on for ages and the hearing wasn't due until Nov. So its also sucking up a huge amount of her and her families life, for something that she might not even win. But I also wouldn't be surprised if money is involved. What if Mason offered her 20% of all future earnings to walk away from the case...? Then she has to decide if she'd rather have him put away for x years, or be set for life at 19.

So it seems that, on here at least, he's still guilty but has just bought his way out of it. That report also refers to 'new material that has come to light' - maybe they have found social media posts that someone has been telling porkies somewhere along the line. It has been known for this to happen when they see an easy payday in compensation. Innocent until proven guilty! When a crime has a conviction rate < 1% and we’re talking about a multi millionaire defendant, I think that’s a reasonable take away. Have you listened to the audio? There is no excusing it away.

I think there is an argument for some defendants legally paying their way out of some minor crimes but not this type of crime. It already happens in many countries.
