Thomas Partey In Trouble As UK Launch Case Against Him For Rape

Ghanaian international and Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey is in serious legal trouble after being formally charged with multiple counts of rape and sexual assault by the Metropolitan Police Service in the United Kingdom.

In an official statement, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) confirmed it had authorized the charges following a detailed file of evidence submitted by detectives investigating the case.

“The Met has issued a charge and requisition to Thomas Partey, 32 (13/06/1992), of Hertfordshire, in connection with the following offences: Five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault,” the statement read.

According to UK authorities, the alleged offences took place between 2021 and 2022. The case is now set to proceed to court, though no official date has been announced for the first hearing.

Partey, one of Ghana’s most high-profile footballers and a key figure for both club and country, has not yet issued a public statement regarding the charges. Arsenal FC has also remained silent, with no immediate comment from the club.

The charges mark a major fall from grace for the midfielder, who has been a prominent figure in English football since his transfer from Atlético Madrid to Arsenal in 2020.

Legal analysts say the nature and number of charges suggest a potentially lengthy and high-profile legal battle ahead. If found guilty, Partey could face serious criminal penalties under UK law.

This case is likely to attract international attention, given Partey’s global football stature and the gravity of the accusations.
