the brazilian Vinícius Jr., forward of Real Madridcame out in defense of the French player Benjamin Mendy who was found not guilty in a case of rape and another for attempted rape, as ruled by the Chester (England) court.

“I’m sorry for everything you’ve been through, Benjamin Mendy,” Vinícius headlines on his social media. “You lost two years of your career, but that’s the least of this situation… And the psychological damage? I’m sure your life will never be the same again. The culture of destroying reputations has made another victim,” he began by saying the footballer of Real Madrid.

“How long will we be accused and sentenced without having the right to a basic defense? Fake news is created and spread without verifying any facts (which is something I personally felt a lot on this vacation) and then the situation only gets worse,” added the striker. .

“Being responsible would be the bare minimum for any professional, but today serious work has become an exception. There are no limits to getting more clicks and engagement,” he observed.

“My question is, what will be done to repair the damage?” concludes Vinícius Jr. The Dutchman Memphis Depay made a similar statement a couple of days earlier, shortly after Mendy’s acquittal was announced.

Acquitted in all cases

The former Manchester City footballer was found not guilty of one case of rape and another of attempted rape, the Chester (England) court ruled this Friday.

The French player, who burst into tears after learning of the decision, was also acquitted last January in this same room in relation to six charges of rape and one of sexual assault.

At that hearing, the jury did not reach a verdict on the two charges of rape and attempted rape, although on Friday they found him not guilty on both.
