CPS Reviewing Evidence on Premier League Player Accused of Multiple Rapes

The player, who has continued to play for his club, faces allegations spanning 2021 to 2023, with prosecutors expected to decide on charges within six months.

The Metropolitan Police have submitted a full file of evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) regarding allegations against a Premier League footballer accused of multiple rapes and sexual offences.
The player, in his 30s, was first arrested in July 2022 and has been accused of offences involving three women between 2021 and 2023, including incidents in April and June 2021 and February 2022.
One allegation from June 2021 will not proceed due to legislative technicalities, but other claims remain under investigation as prosecutors consider whether charges will be filed.
Despite the ongoing investigation, the player has continued to play for his club on full salary, raising questions about the club’s handling of the situation.
The case highlights broader concerns about how Premier League clubs address allegations of sexual offences, with comparisons drawn to past cases involving players like Benjamin Mendy and Mason Greenwood.
