It was reported today that Mason Greenwood, a football player for Manchester United, was taken into custody on suspicion of violating the conditions of his bail, which were imposed following his arrest for rape.
According to the reports, the fact that he made contact with the complainant constitutes a violation of the conditions that were imposed on him as a part of his bail.
The striker, who is 21 years old and is still suspended from the Premier League club, was initially detained on January 30 of this year on suspicion of raping and assaulting a woman. He remains suspended from the club. After that, he was taken into custody once more on suspicion of sexual assault and making death threats.
In June, the court held a hearing regarding his bail status, and the Greater Manchester Police Department subsequently released a statement confirming that he was still out on bail. There has been no filing of charges at this time.
Greenwood was reportedly taken into custody this morning, which is Saturday, at his mansion home in Bowdon, Greater Manchester, on the suspicion that he had violated the conditions of his bail. The reports appeared in today's edition of The Sun.
Greater Manchester Police issued a statement in which it said: "An arrest was made on Saturday, October 15, 2022, in connection with an allegation that a 21-year-old man violated the conditions of his bail, and the Greater Manchester Police Department is aware of the allegation. At this time, investigations are still taking place."
The graduate of the academy, who is originally from Bradford, was scheduled to answer bail following his arrest in January on April 30 of this year; in order to do so, he is required to appear at a police station. However, the Greater Manchester Police (GMP) announced a day before that they would be applying to the courts to extend his bail.
"Following a hearing yesterday (Thursday 23 June 2022), a 20-year-old man arrested on suspicion of rape, assault, and making threats to kill on Sunday 30 January 2022 remains on bail," the GMP said in a statement back then.
"Because the results of bail reviews do not have any bearing on the progression of investigations, Greater Manchester Police will not be providing any further updates in relation to this case until the suspect is either charged or released with no further action," said the spokesperson.
In the aftermath of the court hearing that took place behind closed doors, a date for the expiration of his bail was not provided.
Greenwood is currently serving a suspension from Manchester United and has not played for the club since their match against West Ham United in the Premier League on January 22 of this year. Nike has confirmed that their partnership with the forward has come to an end, following the company's initial decision to suspend their relationship with the forward.
In a previous statement, Manchester United stated that although he is still a member of the club, he is not currently training with the team "while the legal process unfolds." The club has stated that it will not be commenting on the reports of Greenwood's arrest that have surfaced today.
