Caption: Former Arsenal Footballer Thomas Partey Charged with Rape and Sexual Assault. Former Arsenal footballer Thomas Partey has been charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault. The charges stem from incidents that allegedly took place between 2021 and 2022, involving three women. Two counts of rape are linked to one woman, three counts to a second, and one count of sexual assault to a third woman. Partey’s contract with Arsenal ended on Monday after he had been with the team since 2020. The charges follow an investigation by the Metropolitan Police that began in February 2022 after the first rape report was filed. Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy emphasized that the investigation’s priority is providing support to the women involved. Partey is set to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, August 5. Partey joined Arsenal in 2020 for £45.3 million, making 130 Premier League appearances and scoring 9 goals for the club.
