Thomas Partey, the Ghana international and former Arsenal midfielder, has fully cooperated with the London Metropolitan Police in their ongoing investigation into serious allegations of rape and sexual assault.
According to Partey’s lawyer, Jenny Wiltshire, the player has consistently made himself available to assist law enforcement officials as part of the three-year investigation into the charges.
Partey has been formally charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault, related to alleged incidents that occurred between 2021 and 2022.
In a statement released by Wiltshire, she confirmed that the player has always been forthcoming in providing necessary information to the police.
"Thomas has fully cooperated with the police throughout their three-year investigation," Wiltshire said. "He now welcomes the opportunity to finally clear his name. Given that there are now ongoing legal proceedings, my client is unable to comment further at this time."
■ Legal Proceedings Continue
The former Arsenal star, who is currently without a club following his departure from the Premier League, is set to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 5 August. The proceedings will mark an important step in the legal process as the charges against Partey are formally addressed.
The charges have sent shockwaves through the football community, and Partey’s cooperation with the investigation has been viewed as a key factor in maintaining public transparency around the case.
Wiltshire's statement suggests that Partey’s legal team is committed to ensuring a fair and thorough examination of the facts, as the player looks to defend himself against the allegations.
■ Ongoing Investigation
While the charges remain serious, Partey’s attorney stressed that he is not avoiding responsibility and is committed to providing clarity in what is expected to be a complex legal battle. The outcome of the court proceedings will likely have significant implications for the player’s future in football, as well as for the ongoing conversation around allegations of sexual misconduct within the sports world.
As of now, Partey has refrained from publicly commenting on the case, in line with the legal proceedings, leaving the matter to unfold in court.
