According to the Crown Prosecution Service, Mason Greenwood, a player for Manchester United, has been charged with attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behavior, and assault leading to actual bodily harm. All three charges carry the maximum sentence of life in prison. The England international, who hails from Bowdon, Trafford, is going to make an appearance in court on Monday in Manchester (October 17).

According to the CPS, each of the three counts pertains to the same complainant.

In a statement released this afternoon (October 15), Janet Potter, the deputy chief crown prosecutor for CPS North West, said the following: "The Crown Prosecution Service has today authorised Greater Manchester Police to charge Mason Greenwood, 21, with attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behavior, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm." Greenwood is accused of assaulting a woman who suffered actual bodily harm, as well as engaging in controlling and coercive behavior. The individual who filed all three counts is the same person.

After reviewing a file of evidence that was provided by Greater Manchester Police, "Specialist rape prosecutors from CPS North West's complex casework unit authorized the charges." The accused individual is scheduled to make their initial appearance in court on Monday, October 17th, at the Greater Manchester magistrates' court.

"The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all parties involved that criminal proceedings are currently being brought against the defendant and that he is entitled to a fair trial," the statement reads. It is of the utmost importance that there be no online reporting, commentary, or sharing of information that could in any way be prejudicial to those proceedings.
