EKO HOT BLOG reports that Manchester United footballer Mason Greenwood has all charges dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service more than a year after his arrest, Greater Manchester Police have confirmed.
All charges of attempted r@pe, assault and coercive control against Manchester United footballer Mason Greenwood have been dropped.
Greater Manchester Police have confirmed that the Crown Prosecution Service has dropped all charges against the 21-year-old.
The England international was arrested in January of 2021 and was due to stand trial for attempted r@pe, assault and coercive control in November.
Greenwood appeared in court in November, where a trial date was set for November 23 of 2023, before the charges were dropped.
Chief Superintendent Michaela Kerr, GMP’s Head of Public Protection, said: “The investigation team has remained in regular contact with the legal team, providing any updates of note, and so understand the rationale for the discontinuation of proceedings at this stage, and that this decision has not been taken lightly.
“Despite the media and public’s interest in this case, we have decided not to comment on it in any further detail.
“I would, however, like to use this opportunity to reiterate GMP’s commitment to investigating allegations of violence against women and girls and supporting those affected, regardless of their circumstances, throughout what can be a hard and upsetting time for them.”
