The alleged victim denied trying to “minimise” knowing the other woman, after telling people in a statement: “I think I may have met her once but cannot be sure.” Mendy has been charged with eight counts of rape, one count of attempted rape and one count of sexual assault against seven young women alleged to have taken place between October 2018 and last August. Asked by Ms Laws whether the older woman ever discussed with her that “she wanted to sue Manchester City for what happened to her”, the woman replied: “I don’t remember.” She denied trying to “exaggerate and lie” about what had happened between her and Mendy. Pressed by the defence lawyer Ms Laws on whether she had “persuaded” herself “that it was Mr Mendy that had done something wrong that night and not something entirely consensual”, she replied: “I’m absolutely certain I did not give consent.” Ms Laws added: “What happened in that room with Mr Mendy, in drink, is you did things you regretted and were embarrassed about the next day?” “Absolutely not,” the woman replied.
