Diacko Fofana’s girlfriend accused Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy of attempting to force himself on her. The woman’s identity has been withheld, and she is one of six people who have accused Mendy of forcing himself on them.
Diacko Fofana’s girlfriend first met the City defender in a Barcelona nightclub in 2017. At the time, the defender was there to have his injured knee treated after colliding with Andros Townsend during the game against Crystal Palace.
The woman was 29 years old at the time and had struck up a conversation with Fofana, who was present with Benjamin. A year later, Fofana and his girlfriend stayed at Mendy’s house, The Spinney in Mottram St Andrew, Cheshire.
The three then went to a Manchester club where the City player flirted with her and thought she fancied him. The next morning, Mendy asked Fofana if he could sleep with her, and she said yes without hesitation.
Mendy told the jury that he then went to her room when she was taking a shower, and after she came out, he tried to seduce her. And when the defender asked to sleep with him, she replied saying no and was later upset hearing that her boyfriend had given the approval.
However, Diacko’s girlfriend’s version of events differs from Mendy’s. When Diacko’s girlfriend saw the City defender enter the shower, she quickly grabbed a towel to cover herself while Mendy removed his top.
The 33-year-old went on to say that the French defender grabbed her waist and she tried to push him away as the defender grabbed her from behind.
