Criminal proceedings concerning a 21-year-old man, believed to be Manchester United's Mason Greenwood, have been discontinued by the CPS says Greater Manchester Police.
What Happened To Mason Greenwood?
Although he wasn't mentioned by name (Mason Greenwood), Chief Superintendent Michaela Kerr has 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.
"The investigation team has remained in regular contact with the legal team, providing any updates of note, and so understand the rationale for the discontinuation of proceedings at this stage, and that this decision has not been taken lightly."
Police Statement: Mason Greenwood Charges Dropped
Continuing: "Despite the media and public's interest in this case, we have decided not to comment on it in any further detail."
"I would, however, like to use this opportunity to reiterate GMP's commitment to investigating allegations of violence against women and girls and supporting those affected, regardless of their circumstances, throughout what can be a hard and upsetting time for them. An ever increasing number of officers are receiving specialist training and the force is more consistently utilising tools, available via the criminal justice system, to keep people safe and care for victims.
GMP's Head of Public Protection concluded with: "If you feel you are or might be a victim, please don't let this case put you off asking for help."
