The Metropolitan Police stated that the offenses are said to have occurred between 2021 and 2022.

Thomas Partey, a former football player for Arsenal, faces five rape charges and one sexual assault accusation.

The Metropolitan Police stated that the offenses are said to have occurred between 2021 and 2022.

Three women are involved in the charges; one lady is accused of two counts of rape, another of three counts of rape, and a third is accused of sexual assault.

After playing for the team since 2020, the 32-year-old football player’s contract with Arsenal expired on Monday. The team has been approached for comment by BBC News.
