Former Man City defender Benjamin Mendy has been cleared of raping a woman and attempting to rape another.
He was accused of attacking a 24-year-old woman in October 2020 and was accused of attempted rape of a 29-year-old woman who also said he had molested her two years before that too.
Mendy broke down as Judge Steven Everett said, "Mr Mendy can be discharged from the dock," after the verdict of not guilty was read out.
In January he was cleared of 6 counts of rape and one count of sexual assault four young women or teenagers.
After the verdict his solicitor, Jenny Wiltshire, said: "Benjamin Mendy would like to thank the members of the jury for focussing on the evidence in this trial, rather than on the rumour and innuendo that have followed this case from the outset.
"This is the second time that Mr Mendy has been tried and found not guilty by a jury. He is delighted that both juries reached the correct verdicts."
