CHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy has been found not guilty of six counts of rape and one of sexual assault. Jurors at Chester Crown Court in northwest England could not reach verdicts on two other allegations against Mendy and were discharged. One allegation was of attempted rape and another of rape.
