A woman who claims that a Premier League footballer raped her yesterday admitted she felt 'pressured' by police to press charges.
She said she had not initially consider her encounter with Manchester City's Benjamin Mendy, 28, to be rape and told officers she didn't want to get involved in the case.
The woman, aged 22, is one of three who claim the French international raped them at a two-day pool party at his £4.8million mansion in Prestbury, Cheshire, last summer.
Testifying from behind a screen, she told Chester Crown Court that she was contacted by officers five months later and felt like she was 'being dragged into the situation' and it was the police who first called what happened to her 'rape'.
