Police in the United Kingdom has dismissed all charges against Mason Greenwood, a football player for Manchester United.
Allegations of attempted rape, coercive behaviour, and assault were made against the forward, age 21.
The trial was scheduled to take place on November 27, 2023.
Criminal cases had been dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service, according to Greater Manchester Police.
Given the extensive media attention of this case, according to TGMP's Head of Public Protection, Michaela Kerr, "it was 'only reasonable' that the force publicised the latest development."
She added, “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,” she maintained.
