Thomas Partey, the former football player for Arsenal, has been indicted with five charges of rape and one charge of sexual assault. He was given conditional bail.

Accused of five charges of rape against two women and committing sexual assault against a third, the 32-year-old Ghanaian made an appearance at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.

The alleged offences occurred between 2021 and 2022 while he was a member of Arsenal, a club in north London.

His contract terminated at the end of June, and he was accused four days after leaving Arsenal. On September 2, he will make his next appearance at the Old Bailey.

When Thomas Partey arrived in court, he was sporting a navy jacket, black pants, and a black zip-neck jumper. In the dock, he stood with his arms behind his back. He called to verify his identity and to make sure he was aware of the terms of his bond.
