Thomas Partey denies rape, sexual assault charges against him - Lawyer

The lawyer of Ghanaian international, Thomas Partey, has denied the charges of rape and sexual assault against her client.

The statement issued by Partey's lawyer, Jenny Wiltshire, noted:

“Thomas Partey denies all the charges against him. He has fully cooperated with the police and CPS throughout their three-year investigation. He now welcomes the opportunity to finally clear his name."

The lawyer noted that as legal proceedings are ongoing, her client will not make any further comment on the matter.

Thomas Partey who used to play for Arsenal, has been charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault.

The London Metropolitan Police reveal that the charges relate to three women. The offences are reported to have taken place between 2021 and 2022.

Partey was first arrested in July 2022, though he was not named at the time and continued to play for Arsenal while investigations were ongoing.

He is expected to appear at London's Westminster Magistrates' Court on August 5.

Partey spent five seasons at Arsenal after being signed in 2020 for £45m but is now a free agent after his contract expired on Monday.

In June, Thomas Partey once again won the Player of the Year award at the 2025 edition of the Ghana Football Awards.

He beat both Antoine Semenyo of Bournemouth and Athletic Bilbao’s Inaki Williams to bag the award.This marked the third time the Ghanaian international has won the award, with the first and second bagged in 2018 and 2019, respectively.

According to reports, Partey won the award for his exceptional contributions to Arsenal and the Black Stars.
