Mason Greenwood, a player for Manchester United, has reportedly been charged with attempted r@pe, using coercive or controlling behavior, and assault resulting in actual bodily damage.
Mason Greenwood was detained in January of this year but was later freed on bail. While the investigation was ongoing, he was also indefinitely suspended by United.
Following an examination of the Greater Manchester Police’s testimony, the 21-year-old will now be accused of the crimes.
On the same day that Greenwood was detained for allegedly violating his bond, the news was released.
“The Crown Prosecution Service has today authorised Greater Manchester Police to charge Mason Greenwood, 21, with attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm,” said a statement from Janet Potter, the Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS North West.
“All three counts relate to the same complainant.
“Specialist rape prosecutors from CPS North West’s complex casework unit authorised the charges following a review of a file of evidence received from Greater Manchester Police.
“The defendant’s first court appearance will take place on Monday 17 October at Greater Manchester magistrates’ court.
“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against the defendant are active and that he has a right to a fair trial. It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice those proceedings.”
