A few days ago, French professional footballer Benjamin Mendy was cleared of 10 charges against him of rape and attempted rape. This is after almost 5 years out of the field.
The former Manchester City leftback was acquitted in Chester Crown Court on July 14, 2023, when he was found not guilty of one count of rape and one attempted rape.
Benjamin Mendy played his last match against Tottenham in 2021 before he was suspended from the Premier League after he was arrested for the charges. Manchester City released him in June upon the expiration of his contract.
13 women made allegations against Benjamin Mendy, and this made him the subject of a police investigation.
What Benjamin Mendy Lost
Since he was arrested in 2021, he has not been able to play a single match. The 28-year-old has stayed behind bars and has often suffered trauma from these allegations.
Manchester City, the club he would have been playing for, just won a treble in the 2022–2023 season, but he missed all this just because of false accusations.
The business he was in contract with broke ties with him when he was arrested earlier in 2021. 2 years of his profession just because some ladies decided to tarnish his name.
Will Benjamin Mendy be compensated for defamation?
At the time of writing this article, no one knew whether Benjamin Mendy would be compensated for defamation. But it is very clear that he cannot be fully compensated for the impact the allegations made him feel.
Several players have come to his defence, saying something must be done. Memphis Depay took to social media, asking who was to blame after Mendy was found not guilty of the charges.
Mempis Depay shared a picture of Benjamin Mendy and wrote the strong words below.
“Benjamin Mendy, “
Memphis Depay, on Instagram
All business rejected .
So what do we do now?
Who will help this brother heal?
Who’s going to be held responsible for the damage on his name?
How will he get back to his career?
Many years of investment to become a professional soccer player… Now what !?
I never went into this because I didn’t know all the details, but I FaceTimed him once behind bars and faced him on the field a few times.
We can’t accept this happening to us as athletes..
Who will defend us when need be and not when the evil has already been done?
Don’t turn your head people”.

Several players including Jack Grealish, Marcos Alonso, Rio Ferdy and Toni Ridiger sided with Memphis Depay by commenting on his post.
Benjamin Mendy said, “Alhamdulilah” an Arabic word which means “Praise be to God.” He did not answer the question which media pressured him to respond.
All those women are out there scourting free while having destroyed someone’s career. Where would justice lie?
What Men can learn from Benjamin Mendy
Can men love something from Benjamin Mendy’s case? Yes, of course. There is a lot we can learn, but the following are the key lessons:
1. Keep away from lust, and you have solved half of your troubles.
Man, you must learn to control your feelings. You must understand that one mistake can land you in a pit you may never get out of. If you keep entertaining lust, women will have something against you.
Fear strange woman. Why should you die before your time?
2. The system is against you.
Where are Benjamin Mendy’s accusers? They may never be arrested. They are out there just enjoying life. But see the damage they have done. So, be careful how you behave among ladies.
3. Repent and believe in Jesus.
You cannot conquer lust by yourself. Your efforts to nudge lust are futile. Only Jesus can help you, brother. Turn to him and believe the Gospel.
