Thomas Partey charged with two more counts of rape
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said it has authorised the new charges, linked to an allegation dating back to 2020.
Former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has been charged with two additional counts of rape, prosecutors in the UK have confirmed.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said it has authorised the new charges, linked to an allegation dating back to 2020. Partey, 32, is now due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday, 13 March in relation to the fresh counts.
Partey is already facing five counts of rape involving two women and one charge of sexual assault involving a third woman. He has pleaded not guilty to those earlier charges.
The alleged offences in the original case relate to the period between 2021 and 2022, when Partey was playing regularly for Arsenal. He was charged in July 2025, shortly after leaving the club when his contract expired at the end of June.
A trial is scheduled to begin at Southwark Crown Court on 2 November 2026. Partey remains on conditional bail. The terms allow him to continue playing but require him to avoid contact with complainants and to notify police ahead of international travel.
