Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendi spoke in Chester (UK) at a court hearing in seven rape cases.
I know I’m not Brad Pitt, but the women came to see me. Not because of my looks, but because I am a footballer.
Mendy explained why he had sex with women he barely knew:
I said directly what I want and what they want. At the time, I didn’t think she could offend them. They wanted sex and I wanted sex, that was fine. Usually the girls came to me, but sometimes I was looking for them. If a woman told me “no”, I would understand. I enjoy having sex with someone who also likes it. Sleeping with multiple women on the same night was normal for me, but now I understand that it sounds weird. I can’t scream “yes, I love sex” because it will sound weird.
Mandy pleads not guilty to seven counts of rape. You say that everything was in agreement. The punishment a footballer can face can range from 5 to 20 years in prison, although he could face life imprisonment.
