[Saba Sports News] The Metropolitan Police in London recently issued a statement confirming that former Arsenal star Thomas Partey has been formally charged by the Crown Prosecution Service. He is accused of five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault between 2021 and 2022. According to the police statement, the charges include two counts of rape involving the first victim, three counts of rape involving the second victim, and one count of sexual assault involving the third victim. However, this accusation came just one day before his wedding. Thomas had originally planned to marry his girlfriend in Spain, which forced the wedding to be postponed. Thomas is scheduled to appear in Westminster Magistrates’ Court on August 5. His legal representative issued a statement saying that Thomas denies all the charges and has cooperated fully with the police and the Crown Prosecution Service during the three-year investigation, and he values the opportunity to prove his innocence.
