Ghana international Thomas Partey was formally charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault by the UK’s Metropolitan Police on Friday, July 4, 2025.
This follows a three-year investigation into alleged incidents involving three women.
Partey was first arrested on suspicion of rape three years ago in July 2022. The Metropolitan Police have been conducting a full investigation since then, according to Sky Sports.
