The British prosecutor’s office declared on Saturday that the footballer of the Man Utd Mason Greenwood was charged with attempted rape, controlling behavior and assault.
The 21-year-old was arrested in January after a woman posted images and videos on social media denouncing incidents of physical violence.
“The Crown Prosecution Service has today authorized Manchester Police to charge Mason Greenwood with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault causing actual bodily harm,” prosecutor Janet Potter said in a statement. “All three charges refer to the same complainant.”
Greenwood, who has been suspended by his club pending the investigation, is due to appear in Manchester magistrates’ court on Monday. Neither Greenwood nor his representatives have ever commented on the allegations.
