Recall that the soccer star who has been accused of a series of serious offences against young women, was freed after a bail hearing at Chester Crown Court in January.
Late last year, the footballer was moved to a notorious maximum-security jail ‘for his own protection’ as he awaits trial for rape allegations.
Reports say Mendy was switched to the notorious HMP Prison Manchester, commonly referred to as Strangeways, on December 23, 2021.
