Premier League star questioned by police over ‘a number of rape and intercourse assault’ allegations
A Premier League footballer has reportedly been questioned by police over multiple allegations of sex offences.
The man is said to be at the centre of an investigation relating to alleged rapes of two women and a sexual offence relating to a third woman. Police first arrested the player, who is in his 30s, at an address in London in July 2022 on suspicion of rape.
He has continued to play for his club since. According to MailOnline, the football star attended a police station last Thursday and was interviewed under caution.
A Met Police spokesman said: “Met officers are investigating following a number of reports of alleged sexual offences between 2021 and 2023. A man in his 30s was arrested in July 2022. He has since been interviewed by police on two further occasions while under caution.
“The investigation remains ongoing and detectives are continuing with in-depth and detailed enquiries. Those who have come forward to police continue to receive support from Met officers.”

The player was arrested after a report of an alleged rape in June 2022. While in custody, he was further arrested on suspicion of two alleged incidents of rape in April 2021 and June 2021.
No further action is being taken regarding the alleged incident in June 2021, given relevant legislation had not yet come into effect at the time it is alleged to have happened.
Police arrested the man again in February 2023 on suspicion of a sexual offence, which is alleged to have taken place in London in February 2022.
