Get a guilty verdict , then after go after his cash or the worst, sell their story.

I am not taking this further , rape is rightly a very emotive subject but there are some very evil people of both sexes who use it to make false accusations.

That's a ridiculous post.

You can't get an out of court settlement on criminal cases like rape. If there is evidence to prosecute a rape accusation then it goes to court. You can't settle that and call it quits.

There are some people who do lie about this sort of thing yes. But there are thousands more who quite probably have been raped but fail to get a conviction because, without physical evidence, it becomes one word against another and for the victim it is a quite horrific ordeal so many aren't willing to go through the process.

Full judgment here for those interested

Also for those interested, Mendy was represented by Nick De Marco KC, who was mentioned a day or wtwo ago in the 'City sue the PL' thread

At least we didn’t have to pay it all back to him.

Also, the FA’s role in all this seems to have restricted his ability to work not city so can we claim against the Fa? Might aswell make it a hatrick, uefa, premier, and FA. -:)

Maybe he was innocent and wanted his day in court.
There are some instances where you might consider paying them off to avoid the hassle, rape is not one of them.
It’s one of the horrendous crimes to be accused of and if it were me I’d want my day in court.
I seem to remember one of the women said she woke up to Mendy having sex with her, she claimed she didn’t know him and didn’t think of him that way.
The defence asked her ‘hadn’t you slept with him the month before?’
She admitted she had.
She also admitted that after sleeping with him she’d text her friend saying ‘I’ve just slept with a footballer, what am I like’
So she lied, that doesn’t mean the other women lied too, but maybe it cast doubt among the jury.
I only heard about the one women, maybe the defence proved some of the other women lied too and that’s why he got not guilty.
