BREAKING: Ex-Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey charged with rape

Former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey is in serious legal trouble after being charged with several sexual offenses.

Partey, who just became a free agent earlier this week after his contract with Arsenal ended, is now facing five counts of rape.

The 32-year-old has also been charged with one count of sexual assault, bringing the total charges to six.

According to official reports, two of the rape charges involve one woman, while three others involve another. The separate sexual assault charge is connected to a third woman.

The alleged crimes reportedly happened between 2021 and 2022.

Partey is expected to appear in court at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on August 5 to face the charges.

This development comes just days after his Arsenal exit, marking a major turn in the footballer’s career and public image.
