Mendy, 28, was accused of attacking a 24-year old woman at his £4m mansion in Mottram St Andrew, Cheshire in October 2020.
He was also accused of attempting to rape another woman, aged 29, who said, she had been molested by the footballer two years before at his home.
This is coming after he was cleared of six (6) rapes at an earlier trial in January.
