Former Manchester United footballer Ryan Giggs is accused of “humiliating and degrading” his ex-girlfriend during a three-year relationship, a court heard today.
The 47-year-old appeared in the dock at Manchester and Salford magistrates court today, facing three criminal charges including alleged attacks on two women.
It is said Giggs caused actual bodily harm to his ex-girlfriend, PR executive Kate Greville, 36, at his home in Worsley, Greater Manchester on November 1 last year.
He has also been charged with engaging in coercive or controlling behaviour against Ms Greville between December 2017 and November last year.
Giggs faces an additional charge of engaging in coercive or controlling behaviour against Ms Greville in their relationship between December 2017 and November 2020. He is due to appear on Wednesday at Manchester Magistrates’ Court for his first court appearance in the case. Following the announcement of the charges on Friday, Giggs denied the allegations as he stated: “I have full respect for the due process of law and understand the seriousness of the allegations. “I will plead not guilty in court and look forward to clearing my name.” Police were called to Giggs’ address at 10.05pm on November 1 to reports of a disturbance.
