Thomas Partey faces two extra rape charges

Former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has been charged with two additional counts of rape linked to an alleged incident from 2020 and is set to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 13 March in London. The new allegations were first reported to police in August 2025 and come on top of earlier charges from 2021–22, which he denied at Southwark Crown Court. Partey, aged 32 and now a player for Villarreal, is due to stand trial at the same court on 2 November.
