JAKARTA - Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy spoke in court about how easily she makes women have sex with her.
The French man was accused of seven rapes, one sexual assault, and one attempted rape. He gave his first statement during a trial in Chester.
In a statement, the 60 million euro defender said it was easy to have sex with many women because of his status as a footballer, and it had been going on since he was 18 years old and played for Marseille.
He told the court that it was "honest, very easy" for him to meet women and have sex "because of his status" - admitting he was "not Brad Pitt".
He also explained how the women's attention to him grew significantly after he signed a contract with Manchester City.
"Manchester City is one of the best teams in Europe," Mendy said.
"The way they came to me was not because of my performance, it was because of football."
When asked if he enjoyed the attention, the France international continued: "Yes, I wouldn't say it's bad".
Mendy, who won the World Cup with France, said he went out on the night two or three times a week and met many women at nightclubs, some of whom he invited to his home worth 5.4 million euros at Prestbury, Cheshire.
Asked about his attitude towards having sex with women he didn't know well, he said: "At that time I didn't think about how they felt or they could be angry because, for me, if they wanted to have sex and I wanted, everything was fine and I would continue my party."
He said he enjoyed "sex with a lot of women". But, he said if a woman said "no", she would be " FINE, I would accept it and I would stop".
