Former Arsenal footballer Thomas Partey has been charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault.

The offences are reported to have taken place between 2021-2022, the Metropolitan Police said.

The charges involve three women, with two counts of rape relating to one woman, three counts of rape in connection to a second woman and one count of sexual assault linked to a third woman.

The Ghanaian international denies the charges and "welcomes the opportunity to finally clear his name", his lawyer said.

The charges follow an investigation by detectives, which started in February 2022 after police first received a report of rape.

The 32-year-old's contract with Arsenal ended on Monday after playing with the team since 2020.

why?? 

maybe you should inform the bbc that, not me. 

He has not been found guilty with rape as of yet but he has been charged and i only reported on what the bbc news said.

I am not sure whether this was the reason he left Arsenal because of these allegations. I am not an Arsenal fan so couldn't  tell you. 

It does seem like Arsenal got rid of him in light of these investigations. If so, Maybe have a go at Arsenal too.


I do believe in innocent till proven guity.
If I was to see him in the street, I would still shake his hands and treat him like a good person of society untill the verdict comes in. Maybe most people are not like me

gotcha 

I thought it deserved its own thread as it is unrelated to football day to day activities.
