Charged with five counts of rape against two women with a sexual assault on a third.

The alleged sexual assaults/rape cases
date back to 2021-22 but Thomas Partey was only charged with these offences once his contract with Arsenal came to an end on Monday.

Strange one that.

I doubt this thread has much legs but another football related atrocity here...

Shock, horror it's him!

I'd never heard of Thomas Partey.

It’s been a rumour for a long time. So no shock. But it seems a disproportionate amount of footballers that end up in this position.

I’m sure he’ll find a way back in football like that disgrace that plays for Marseilles.

Odd that blokes who live in a bubble where nobody tells them 'no' and are given anything and everything they want because they can kick a ball straight find themselves disproportionately in these situations.

I’d imagine they could have been forking out a fortune to make sure this stayed under wraps until he was no longer their employee… football is becoming more and more like politics by the day.

And they will have known for some time this case was going on. At least Man City suspended Mendes their full back whist his case was taking place, then parted from him

Hope Arsenal get the same heat that City got for Mendy. Absolute disgrace that they let him play that long.

Man city played him when he was on bail only no one knew about it.

Arsenal will just say everyone is innocent until guilty.

They used to be a club of principle.

I remember when they refused to sit in the directors box at utd because utd had tapped up stapleton

A former head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is a season ticket holder and sits in a box at Arsenal. I am sure he would have been available to offer advice if they sought it.

He hasn’t been found guilty yet. And he hadn’t been charged at the time. Arsenal haven’t done anything wrong.

Could be a coincidence but the timing of this does raise a few eyebrows.
