A woman had sex with Jack Grealish and engaged in ‘sexual activity’ with Benjamin Mendy after she was ‘raped’ by the French footballer’s friend, a court heard.
Later she sent a text to a friend saying: ‘Ha ha ha I have slept with Jack Grealish’, the jury at Chester Crown Court was told.
The woman, aged 23 at the time, had gone back with other women to Mendy’s mansion for a party, after clubbing with the footballers in the VIP area of a nightclub in Manchester.
While at the party the young woman said she was raped in a Mercedes car by Mendy’s friend and ‘fixer’ Louis Saha Matturie, 41, after they left the house to buy more alcohol from a garage.
A second woman, aged 17 at the time, claims she was also raped twice at the party by Mendy, 28, in his office and trophy room.

She also claims she was raped twice more by Matturie after, once in the cinema room and later at a different flat in Manchester.
The 23-year-old told police when she got back to Mendy’s house after the alleged rape she felt, ‘vile, dirty, disgusting’.
She then spent the rest of the night sitting on a sofa talking to two other girls before going to sleep upstairs in a bedroom with another man she did not know.
Lisa Wilding KC, defending Matturie said the 23-year-old got back from the garage to the house in Cheshire with the defendant at 5.38am and left the house at just after 10am and questioned what she had been doing in those four hours.
The witness admitted she had not told police about having sex with another black male, ‘Ghost’, in the swimming pool area of the house.
Ms Wilding said: ‘What did you do after that finished?’
The witness replied: ‘I said I was sat on a sofa I was sat with Jack Grealish, I know what you are going to say.’
Ms Wilding said: ‘Do you remember kissing Jack Grealish in the kitchen, on the sofa in the living room?’
She replied: ‘Yes.’
Ms Wilding said: ‘Did you have sex with Jack Grealish that night?’

The witness replied: ‘Yes. I don’t have a memory of what room I was in. I don’t remember anything that happened. I remember something happened.’
The woman then admitted she told police she went to sleep upstairs in a room and another man was there but she did not know who it was.
It was later confirmed it was Benjamin Mendy, and when asked if they had sex she said ‘sexual activity’.
She added: ‘I just didn’t want to be judged. It just doesn’t look good does it?’
As she left Mendy’s housethe next morning she text a friend about her night, the court heard.
The first message read: ‘Ha ha ha I have slept with Jack Grealish.’
Her friend replied: ‘Oh God. Lol. What the f***. OMG. Proud of you. He was good lol?’
The woman replied: ‘Yes, very good.’
Another message read: ‘Yes he has a girlfriend’ followed by a ‘sad face’ emoji.
The witness insisted unlike the other times that night, the sex with Matturie was not consensual and she had been raped.
Prosecutors have alleged Mendy is a ‘predator’ who ‘turned the pursuit of women for sex into a game’, while Matturie, his friend and ‘fixer’, is alleged to have had the job of finding young women for sex.
Mendy denies seven counts of rape, one count of attempted rape and one count of sexual assault against six young women.
Matturie of Eccles, Salford, denies six counts of rape and three counts of sexual assault relating to seven young women.
Both men say if any sex did take place with women or girls it was consensual.
The trial continues.
