Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood has had his attempted rape and assault charges dropped. Mason Greenwood Rape Case Developments: The 21-year-old was detained in January 2022 due to suspicions based on photographs and videos.
Mason Greenwood was later charged with attempting to rape a woman, controlling and coercive behavior, and assault resulting in serious bodily harm.
Greenwood expressed his “relief” and thanked his friends and family for their support in a statement. The Crown Prosecution Service stated that the charges were dropped after key witnesses dropped out of the case. “We have a responsibility to continuously assess incidents,” a spokesperson said.
“Due to the withdrawal of key witnesses, there was no longer a chance of conviction in this case.” As well as newly discovered evidence. Given these facts, we have a responsibility to end the lawsuit.
“We informed all parties of our decision.”
We always encourage potential victims to come forward and contact the police, and we will file charges wherever the legal requirements are met.
“I’m relieved that this issue is now resolved, and I want to thank my loved ones, friends, and family for their support,” the 21-year-old said on Greenwood’s behalf.
“At this time, no other remarks will be made.”
After the allegations were made public at the start of 2022, the forward was immediately barred from playing or practicing with the Old Trafford club.
Since the allegations surfaced, the footballer has not played for United
Manchester United, according to a spokeswoman, has taken note of “the Crown Prosecution Service’s decision that all charges against Mason Greenwood have been dismissed.” The club will now go through its own procedure before deciding on the next course of action, they said.
“We will not make any further comments until that process is completed.”
Greenwood has informed the BBC that he will not resume training or playing until this procedure is completed. Greater Manchester Police deemed it “only fair” to announce that Greenwood would no longer face criminal charges. According to Ch Supt Michaela Kerr, the decision was “not taken lightly.”
However, I’d like to take this opportunity to reiterate the force’s commitment to investigating claims of violence against women. And girls, as well as providing assistance to those affected, regardless of their circumstances. During what can be a difficult and unpleasant time for them.
