A court heard that Manchester City footballer Benjamin Mendy attempted to rape a woman after she exited a shower in his isolated mansion.
The 28-year-old star is charged with eight counts of rape, one count of attempted rape, and one count of sexual assault.
Some women have reported having their phones confiscated, while others have described being attacked in locked rooms.
The woman came forward after Mr Mendy was charged with various offences in 2021, Chester Crown Court heard.
Mr Mendy, who won the 2018 World Cup with France, is on trial alongside co-defendant Louis Saha Matturie, 41.
Mr Matturie, of Eccles, Salford, is accused of eight counts of rape and four counts of sexual assault relating to eight young women.
Timothy Cray QC told the court Mr Mendy tried to rape a woman, now aged 29, after she showered in his home in rural Cheshire in October 2018.
Mr Cray said she went to police in January this year after the £52m Premier League star’s name “really hit the press”.
The court previously heard how seven young women were allegedly harmed at Mr Mendy’s home between October 2018 and August 2021.
The Prestbury, Cheshire, footballer was described as a “predator” who “turned the pursuit of women for sex into a game.” The jury heard that he raped three women in one night after a pool party and a trip to Manchester’s China White nightclub.
The trial was postponed earlier due to technical difficulties with the TV sound. The jury was about to hear a videotaped police interview with the 29-year-old woman, but the rest of the court couldn’t hear it properly.
The jury’s deliberations would resume on Wednesday, according to Judge Steven Everett.
