All charges against Manchester United youngster Mason Greenwood were dropped on Thursday, February 2, 2023. He was charged with attempted rape and assault. The evidence against the 21-year-old is resurfacing and Twitter is raging about how that evidence was not enough.
He was arrested after police raided his home. In November 2022, Greenwood was going to stand trial for attempted rape and assault, as well as coercive control.
The Crown Prosecution confirmed that all charges against Greenwood have been dropped. A spokesperson said: “We have a duty to keep cases under continuous review. In this case, a combination of the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction. In these circumstances, we are under a duty to stop the case.
We have explained our decision to all parties. We would always encourage any potential victims to come forward and report to police and we will prosecute wherever our legal test is met.”

According to Fan Banter, Chief Superintendent Michaela Kerr, GMP’s Head of Public Protection, said: “Given the significant media coverage of this case, it is only fair that we share the news that the 21-year-old man, who had been arrested and charged in connection with an investigation opened in January 2022, no longer faces criminal proceedings in relation to this.
“Despite the media and public’s interest in this case, we have decided not to comment on it in any further detail.”
Greenwood has been granted release by a judge on two conditions. Firstly, he does not contact any witnesses including the complainant, and secondly, he resides at Bowdon.
