Manchester City star Benjamin Mendy has reportedly been refused bail amid a rape case after having a meltdown over the prison.
The Presiding Judge of Chester Crown Court dismissed Mendy’s application today after hearing legal arguments from both the prosecution and defendants.
The Sky Blues ace has hired International recognized lawyers to try and get him out of prison but to no avail but has been remanded ahead of another court date on September 10.
The 27-year-old Man City player now faces at least another week in prison after being transported to HMP Altcourse on Friday as he appeared in court charged with four counts of rape and one of sexual assault.
According to reports, “Mendy’s family will be devastated at the news he is going to stay in prison.
"They had expected that a judge would let him go home, under strict bail conditions.”
Last week, Mendy allegedly thought he was going to be locked up on a VIP wing for celebrities and sports stars.
The Manchester City defender was previously shocked to learn that he was not being allowed to return to his £5million mansion in Cheshire.
When he arrived at the Category B jail in Liverpool he was told he was going to be put on the VP wing.
The reports further suggest that: “When Mendy arrived staff explained he was going to be kept on the VP wing for his own safety.
“But perhaps because he is French and his English isn’t great, he misunderstood what they had said and thought he was being taken to a VIP wing for celebrities.
“He had a rude awakening when he saw the cell and realized who he was going to be mixing with.
“He wasn’t happy and it was a very sobering experience for him.”
Earlier in August, Mendy appeared in court charged with sex attacks on three women - including an alleged assault "just weeks ago".
Mendy showed no emotion as he was remanded in custody following the hearing over the four counts of alleged rape and one of sexual assault.
He was immediately suspended by the football club pending an investigation.
