Greater Manchester Police confirmed Mason Greenwood’s arrest for controlling and coercive behavior, attempted rape, and section 47 assault on a woman.
The 21 year-old was remanded in custody. He is scheduled to appear at Manchester Magistrates Court on Monday 17th of October.
Greenwood was arrested for the first time in January. He has been suspended from his Premier League club since then.
Janet Potter, the deputy chief crown prosecutor for CPS North West, said: “The Crown Prosecution Service has today authorised Greater Manchester Police to charge Mason Greenwood, 21, with attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
“All three counts relate to the same complainant.
“Specialist rape prosecutors from CPS North West’s complex casework unit authorised the charges following a review of a file of evidence received from Greater Manchester Police.
“The defendant’s first court appearance will take place on October 17 at Greater Manchester Magistrates’ Court.
“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against the defendant are active and that he has a right to a fair trial.
“It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice those proceedings.”
