PREMIER LEAGUE PLAYER FACES TWO FURTHER RAPE CHARGES AFTER BEING ARRESTED ON RAPE CHARGES
A Premier League footballer who was arrested on rape suspicion is now facing two more charges of assaulting a different lady, according to reports.
The player, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was questioned earlier this week by the London Metropolitan Police and has since been discharged on bail until an unspecified date in August.
The individual, a well-known international, had allegedly been arrested early on Monday as a result of an alleged rape that is said to have happened in June.
Allegations over two different incidents from last year then surfaced and Scotland Yard said in a statement: “On 4 July, an allegation of rape of a woman in her 20s was reported to police. It was reported that the alleged rape happened in June 2022. On 4 July, a 29-year-old man was arrested at an address in Barnet on suspicion of rape and taken into custody.
“While in custody, he was further arrested on suspicion of two incidents of rape that were alleged to have been committed in April and June of 2021 against a different woman in her 20s. He has subsequently been released on bail to a date in August.
“Enquiries into the circumstances are ongoing.”
The player’s club have declined to comment. It remains to be seen whether the player will be involved in his team’s preseason fixtures.
