Former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has been granted conditional bail after making his first appearance in court since being charged with five counts of rape and one of sexual assault.
The 32-year-old’s Arsenal contract expired on June 30, four days before he was charged by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). A statement revealed that the Ghana international had been accused of “five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault. These allegations relate to three separate women who reported incidents which took place between 2021 and 2022.”
