World Cup winner Benjamin Mendy signed a two-year deal with French soccer club Lorient on Wednesday, only days after the France international was found not guilty of raping a woman and the attempted rape of another. The 29-year-old Mendy left Manchester City last month after his contract expired. He was also found not guilty of the rape of a second woman two years later also at his home address. Mendy denied the charges and said the incidents were consensual encounters. Jurors failed to reach verdicts on counts of rape and attempted rape, leading to the retrial.
